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.

I could live in room 62 for the rest of my life! Everything was perfect. Impressed with our very large room in the oldest part of the hotel. Fantastic view of Lake Geneva. Watched our favourite you tube channels and UK news on the tv. Great WiFi, really comfy bed with separate twin duvets. Fruit and gorgeous little chocolates waiting in the room for us. Good selection in the mini bar fridge, pull out drawers for coffee making, snacks, wine and glasses. Stunning reception area with chandeliers and beautiful staircase. Original old telephone cabins still exist. World class breakfast with so much choice, attentive and friendly staff. Excellent spa with an outdoor and warm indoor pool. Exclusive walkway under road between hotel and spa/pools. Immaculately clean everywhere at all times. Everywhere was either shining or sparkling. The gardens opposite were immaculate and pleasant. Location ideal for strolling along the lakeside, Freddie Mercury statue, a few restaurants and a paddle steamer launch.

Massive hotel, and crazy expensive. Very nice room spacious room and bathroom. Good view, tiny balcony with barely room for 1 chair and table. Decent breakfast spread but expensive and service not great. Took 3 go’s to get the right tea! Spa across the road has an indoor and outdoor pool, but a very loud DJ by the pool. Not exactly restful.

Actually a very nice hotel on the lake actually ..... they gave me this room 221 as a Platinum guest from ALL Accor the room has almost no view of the lake on the right the big hall of Montreux Festival on the left a little view of the lake. Extra I had written in time I come with a 90-year-old aunt who celebrates her birthday there and then they gave us a room where we had to walk 200 m through the long corridor - for the old lady an imposition - the ninety-year-year-old aunt had the room right next to me / we had booked an extra room with a view of the lake we had - but very limited - apparently no consideration is given to good customers at all here - as an apology I got a small bottle of 0.375 l of champagne - then he tried to give me another room due to my status but I didn't want to move out anymore - also in relation to and consideration for my aunt - as I said 90 years old !!

Such a beautiful hotel right in the center of the city. The location was amazing, and the room had one of the most beautiful views I’ve seen. The room was spacious, comfortable, and the service was wonderful from the moment we arrived. The whole atmosphere felt so elegant and luxurious, it honestly made me feel like I was staying in a royal palace.

Beautiful hotel with a beautiful spa and view. The weather was not in our favor so we spent some time at the indoor pool and spa. It happened to be a holiday week for the families in Europe so there was a lot of children at the pool but there is a quiet room for adults only if you so desire. we were only there one night but it was comfortable and beautiful.
