Mark Jacob, newly appointed Managing Director and former Resident Manager of The Dolder Grand, said: “The Dolder Grand caters to many different cultures throughout the year, accommodating their special needs wherever possible. We recognize that Ramadan is a time for reflection, peace and evaluation as well as a time to spend with family and friends. With this in mind, it is our upmost desire to ensure all our Muslim guests feel truly comfortable and at home, providing them the tranquility and relaxation they desire.”
Jacob further said “every year we ensure prayer timings are respected, particularly at the important Maghrib and Fajr prayers, dates, nuts and water are presented to break the fast along with a delicate tea traditionally brewed in a samovar. Arabic TV channels are also available and the concierge are aptly informed to advise guests on Islamic prayer facilities in Zurich.” For a real taste of Arabia, Lebanese chef, Firas El-Borij, provides guests a true Ramadan experience offering a variety of Arabic amenities and halal food throughout the holy month.
