About the Hotel

Built in 1906, Le Montreux Palace is situated on the shores of Switzerland's Lake Geneva, overlooking the Alps. This opulent 19-century hotel has hosted Russian tsars, Sarah Bernhardt, Richard Strauss (who was inspired to compose his most famous waltzes here), and more recently, Sophia Loren, Miles Davis, Michael Jackson and Vladimir Nabokov. Famous for its Art Nouveau architecture - detailed frescos, stained glass windows, and chandeliers gracing the interior - this historic hotel is one of the best in the world.

Wonderful

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Fairmont Montreux Palace opened 120 years ago is a hidden gem in the Swiss Riviera overlooking the lake and the Alpine mountains. It has recently been renovated with spacious rooms. The hotel’s amenities are great, the staff is really helpful and breakfast and food are really good. I also would like to thank the hotel’s general manager Mr Smithuis and the operation manager Mr Bigiere for their hospitality. I strongly recommend Montreux Palace to travelers.

Christmas Market short stay

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Bit late posting this but had a great few days here at the beginning of December, when visiting for the Christmas Market. Always a warm welcome here. Rooms are clean and well laid out with all necessary amenities. If you can, go for a lake view room - it’s so worth it! Opted for breakfast in my room on this visit and each day, this was brought by the lovely Marita. Always delivered at the requested time and Marita was so friendly and ensured everything was on point. A real credit. Also, Samir at reception. Always helpful, engaging and goes the extra mile to make sure your visit is memorable and everything is as you expect. This hotel is a little more expensive but it is a real peace of calm and provides excellent service and a great stay. I am very fussy when it comes to hotels and service and (so far…😉) have no complaints with this beautiful venue.

small bathroom, mediocre breakfast, not enough lounge areas, great gym, spa and pool

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 4 weeks ago

We were excited to book fairmont looked like a luxurious property. its location is pretty decent. Room - one of the signs of luxury is space. I felt the room is medium sized and the bathroom was pretty small. the shower area is so small that a slightly obese person might have a hard time showering. the bed is comfortable. restaurants - no s there is only one restaurant and has hardly anything for a vegeterian person. even the room menu hardly has any veg options. we ordered a vegan burger and it was horrible. breakfast - the breakfast area is very pretty but the menu is very mediocre. u expect more from a luxurious hotel. they could definitely offer more options. lounge - there is only 1 cafe and is full and loud. there should be more space with spacious seating and sofas. if you want to sit and chat with friends and family there is hardly any space. gym pool and spa - i felt this was the highlight of the visit. the pool is warm and indoors and is decent size. the gym is extremely well equipped and the sauna steam and jacuzzi are outstanding. I expected more from this hotel I would not recommend coming here.

Palace property overlooking the lake

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

We stayed in their suite room with a very large balcony, overlooking the lake. Its a proper palace feel property and the room was big. They had places a bay cot and balloons in the room in advance for my kid. Service was quick and the food was decent. They have 2 pools, indoor and outdoor and also have jacuzzi near the pool. It is indeed amongst one of the finest fairmont properties i have been to.
