England’s Lionesses Settle into Fairy‑Tale Base at UEFA Women’s EURO 2025

 The England Women’s National Football Team — known globally as the Lionesses — have officially kicked off their UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 campaign, and they’re doing it in serious style. The team has checked into one of the most luxurious and visually stunning locations in Switzerland: the Dolder Grand Hotel in Zurich.

Described by players and fans alike as a “fairy-tale base,” the hotel offers an atmosphere that blends elegance, peace, and power — the perfect place to prepare for a championship run.

✨ A Castle for Champions

Overlooking Lake Zurich and surrounded by alpine views, the Dolder Grand isn’t just a hotel — it’s a castle-like retreat rich in history and sophistication. With art-covered walls, spa facilities, and forest trails, the location provides a tranquil escape from the pressure of the tournament.

Key features of the training base include:

• World-class spa and recovery amenities

• Private wooded areas for walks and meditation

• Famous art pieces by Salvador Dalí and others throughout the property

The coaching staff has emphasized the importance of mental calm and physical recovery — something that is increasingly important in elite-level women’s football.

🎙️ Player Reactions: “It Feels Like a Dream”

Goalkeeper Mary Earps shared her thoughts with the media, calling the hotel “a fantasy.”

“Waking up here feels like a dream. The scenery, the energy, everything is designed to help us focus and recharge. It’s the calm before the storm.”

Team officials have said that the players are enjoying their new home away from home but are fully locked in on the task ahead — bringing the trophy back to England.

⚽ The Real Work Begins

While the setting may be magical, the real battle is on the pitch. England faces a crucial match next against Italy in Group A. After a tough opener, three points are vital to keeping knockout hopes alive.

Coach Sarina Wiegman says the team is dialed in and benefiting from the peaceful environment.

“This location allows us to stay sharp without distractions. The team knows what’s at stake.”
