Located in the spa town of Baden, around 30 minutes from Zurich, this classy hotel's main claim to fame is its extensive range of wellness treatments available in the Novum spa. The thermal waters of Baden bubble up from 18 hot springs underground and have been used for spa treatments since Roman times. Water emerges at a toasty 47°C but is cooled to a comfortable 36°C here and contains minerals including iron, fluorine, iodine, magnesium, potassium and calcium.
You can book a spa pass to the Limmathof for anything from 2 hours to a full day. The Novum Spa contains a whirlpool, waterbeds, rain showers, Kneipp pool, steam rooms and light therapy. And the beauty and wellness menu includes massage using Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques as well as hot and cold stone massage, body peels, facials and more.
If you fancy a post-treatment snack, you can step into the hotel's cafe Bistro Hirsch. Better yet, why not spoil yourself with several days of pampering by booking a stay in one of the hotel's comfortable, modern rooms or suites.
