“Located directly on Lake Zurich, the hotel positions itself as a lakeside retreat with a focus on regional cuisine and individually designed rooms. I noted some past guest experiences mentioning slow service, especially at peak times in the restaurant; however, I suspect the draw of the scenic views and unique Seerosenbar still make it an appealing choice for those seeking a relaxed getaway in Pfaffikon.”
