Zurich from the Water: Park Hyatt Zurich x Bootsvermietung Enge
Some of Zurich’s most memorable perspectives begin where the city meets the lake. Through its collaboration with local boat specialist Bootsvermietung Enge, Park Hyatt Zurich invites guests to experience Lake Zurich beyond the shoreline — from private cruises to an unexpectedly Swiss take on wellness: a sauna floating on the water.
Located directly on the lake at Mythenquai, Bootsvermietung Enge offers a diverse fleet ranging from electric boats and classic pedalos to motorboats and its distinctive sauna boats. Park Hyatt Zurich incorporates these experiences into its curated selection of ways to discover the city, complementing its central location with access to one of Zurich’s defining natural landscapes. The hotel itself highlights scenic boat tours and the sauna boat among its locally curated guest and incentive experiences.
For a more private perspective on Zurich, guests can take to the lake on a boat cruise with a captain, leaving the pace of the city behind as the skyline gradually gives way to open water and views towards the surrounding landscape. It is a simple experience, but one that reveals an important side of Zurich: here, urban life and nature exist remarkably close together. Park Hyatt Zurich describes this balance between cosmopolitan city life, the lake and the nearby Alps as one of the qualities that makes the destination distinctive.
The Sauna Boat Experience takes that relationship with the lake one step further. Enge operates two of Zurich’s first sauna boats, combining a wood-fired sauna with time spent gently cruising across Lake Zurich. Guests can warm up beside the stove, relax with views across the water and then cool down with a dip directly into the lake. The boats accommodate up to six people and can be operated without a boating licence, making the experience both private and remarkably accessible.
It is an experience that feels unmistakably Zurich: understated, close to nature and designed around quality. Through partnerships such as this, Park Hyatt Zurich extends hospitality beyond the hotel itself, offering guests not simply a place to stay, but a more personal way to experience the city.
