Am leaving for Zurich for a couple of days to walk in seriously good air and am just thinking of the last time I visited…it was pure, unadulterated indulgence. I was going to review the spa at the Dolder Grand – as its name suggests an imposing fin de siecle hotel which has been jazzed up and extended by Richard Rogers. The spa is in the extension and is as modern as tomorrow – they have even made a meditation walk funky and up-to-date. Anyway the pampering began as soon as I was picked up by the hotel limo at the airport (feel my pain), and the driver handed me a card with instructions on how to organise my massage en route. Yup, the car seats were massage chairs. I could have a full back massage, a neck and shoulder version or a type of shiatsu all with different pressures- sadly the 20 minute journey didn’t allow time t.o experience all three, but I can assure you it’s a glorious way to travel
