Enjoying a premium location on the shores of Lake Zurich, La Réserve has been providing guests with upscale accommodation and warm hospitality for over 100 years. In recent years, the hotel engaged designer Philippe Starck to reinvigorate its belle époque beauty for the 21st century. Taking his inspiration from the world of yachting, Starck has woven exposed red brick, nautical-inspired wood, chrome, marble, soft leather, and original artworks, into a tasteful and inviting symphony of muted tones and mid-century modernism.
