In 2003, Heiko Nieder earned the title �Discovery of the Year� from GaultMillau for his culinary creations. In 2004, he was awarded a Michelin star and in 2007, 17 GaultMillau points. Again in 2008 The Restaurant at the Dolder Grand was awarded 17 GaultMillau points and a Michelin star.

His airline menu trademark creations include appetiser choices of goose-liver terrine with carrots and coffee and trout with water cress and celery, followed by delicacies which include scallops with cauliflower, ginger and star-anis and spiny lobster with fennel, lychee and vanilla.

The menu is completed with seasoned chocolate with sweet corn ice cream and coriander or frozen apple juice with cardamom, yoghurt and grapeseed oil.

The Dolder Grand is newly re-opened following a four-year facelift, restoring the glory of the original �Curhaus� dating back to 1899.

The new luxury city resort was styled by world renowned Foster and Partners, with a new 4,000 sq metre spa and golf wing by Sylvia Sepielli.

For inspiration, the designers, United Designers from London, drew on famous guests from the historic past of the Dolder Grand. Hence the Maestro Suite is a tribute to Herbert von Karajan, the Carezza Suite has a sculptural look unmistakably influenced by the work of Alberto Giacometti, the Masina Suite captures the Italian style inspired by film star Giulietta Masina and Suite 100 draws on a 1960s retro look representing the glory years of The Rolling Stones.
