The Dolder Grand

Zurich�s iconic city resort, The Dolder Grand which reopened earlier this spring following a multi-million dollar, four- year renovation, is offering two special packages to showcase Zurich�s �Live at Sunset� music festival* at the Dolder Grand sports arena - just minutes away from the hotel.

An ideal opportunity to discover the glorious surroundings of Zurich and the Swiss Alps in summer, The Dolder Grand�s �Festival Package� includes a pre-concert dinner and tickets to the event, along with one nights� accommodation and breakfast and is priced at US$630 (CHF 660), or US$1,042 (CHF 1,090) for two.

Couples can choose to upgrade to a Deluxe Double Room for US$1,138 (CHF 1,190) or a Junior Suite at US$1,281 (CHF 1,340).

An alternative �Rockstar Package� with accommodation in a Superior Suite also includes a 60-minute massage at the Dolder Grand Spa plus late checkout and is priced at US$2,868 (CHF 3,000) or US$3,202 (CHF 3,350) for two.

Couples can upgrade to a Deluxe Suite for US$3,680 (CHF 3,850) or the lavish Suite 100 for US$5,210 (CHF 5,450).

The packages are valid throughout the annual �Live at Sunset� festival period from July 9 to 20.

Headline performances this year include Al Jarreau on July 10, Seal on July 11, Crowded House on July 14, and Mick Hucknall on July 20.

Against a backdrop of Alpine peaks, Zurich is an exquisite base to explore one of Europe�s most beautiful tourist destinations.

On balmy summer evenings, many of the country�s lakesides, rivers and open air swimming facilities transform into al fresco bars and lounges and Zurich is no exception.

Excursion options range from boat trips on Lake Z�rich to cable cars to mountain peaks and hiking in alpine meadows.

Close to one of Europe�s most picturesque and lively cities is the continent�s largest waterfall - the Rhine Falls, Alpamare - Europe's biggest indoor water park, imposing medieval castles, elegant casinos, and a host of zoos and nature parks to delight children.
