What people are saying about Canton Zurich

Spent the first afternoon of my trip in Zürich here and it was a perfect way to unwind after travelling. The set up was slick and professional, the facilities were clean and to a very high quality. Each room has information available, guiding you through what to do, in what order to do it in, (and for how long) to get the most health, detoxification and relaxation benefits out of it. This experience was totally worth the money and I would recommend to anyone (even if I’m still not 100% sure exactly which bits formed the “Irish” element of the Roman-Irish spa!!)

We had a wonderful time. Wonderful ambience. Great saunas and pools. Slippers were not needed (we didn't bring any). Only thing we will do different next time is not to go on a Friday evening as it was a bit crowded.

it was a huge place, and the pools were very beautiful. we were able to relax and enjoy the process. we bought the Irish-roman spa and we stayed 3 hours in there☺️ the rooftop pool was great

The guide was excellent and helpful. This was our first tour during our trip, he helped us to understand how to get around for the rest of our trip.

Francisca was an amazing guide. She managed the tour really well.
