Unique service
-
Baur au Lac carriage
By pure chance and while searching for a historic carriage for a wedding couple, an original Baur au Lac coach, formerly used to transport guests around the mid 1800s, was rediscovered at a private collector in 2019. Faithfully restored and preserved, this horse-powered vehicle will grant you a grand entrance on your wedding day.
-
Floristry
From table decorations to bridal bouquets and altar decorations, you can order everything directly from our in-house florist. Our head florist originally learned her craft working for the Queen in London. We are fortunate that Buckingham Palace never called for her services, so now our guests can enjoy her floral artwork instead.
-
Sweet temptations
Our in-house pastry chef creates true masterpieces from sugar and flour. Whether it's a colourful dessert buffet, a playful candy bar or a dreamlike multi-tiered wedding cake, there are no limits to your imagination thanks to the artistry of our team.
-
Styling
With «Vanity» you will find a high-end beauty salon in the hotel whose team will also do your hair and make-up in the privacy of your guest room upon request.
