Foster and the Zürich Dolder Grand Hotel

 
 
Reply Sun 20 Apr, 2008 02:02 am
The original Dolder Grand Hotel was built at the end of the nineteenth century, and was the premier hotel in Europe for nearly a century.

This Zürich landmark reopened (at least in parts) after a SFr440 million ($443 million, € 225 million) facelift by British star architect Norman Foster.
