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.

NOISE LOUD MUSIC ALL NIGHT. We are here now. July 20th. Sunday morning . The bar between the hotel and the lake plays loud thumping music all night. It is impossible to sleep. We complained the first night. The hotel said how sorry they were. Yesterday it went until 4am. It's currently 4.45am its still going. Do not stay here if you expect to sleep!

Glorious View Inglorious Service

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Le Montreaux Palace Hotel has its place in history. Meandering around the old arrival entrance captures something of the grandeur and majesty this hotel enjoyed during its heyday. That magic is not completely lost in history, and Le Montreaux Palace Hotel still offers guests breathtaking views of the Alps across the majesty of Lac Leman. Service from staff is attentive and caring, from concierge to restaurants to reception, there is a genuine eagerness to please and offer a high level of customer satisfaction. Rooms are nicely appointed but fall short of offering the luxury that one would find at the Beau Rivage in Lausanne or the Hotel des Bergues in Geneve. Rooms overlooking Lac Leman offer the best views and being able to see Dents du Midi from dawn to dusk is glorious. Sadly, it is housekeeping, and their poor attention to detail that let down all the positive work of other staff. Returning to our room at 16:40, we were disappointed to see the room had not been made up. This was despite our informing housekeeping that the room was empty when we left at 10 am in the morning. A call to reception was responded with a request to clean the room now, which we declined as we had one hour to rest and change for dinner. We asked for fresh towels, they brought one set, so we had to call again for a second set. When the housekeeper arrived, I asked why the room had not been cleaned, her response was unacceptable. She replied (in French) that the hotel was full and one room always had to be last, today you win the prize! I was not impressed. During our 3 night stay and despite once again informing housekeeping, the hair conditioner in the shower was empty when we arrived and not refilled and the tissues in the bathroom ran out on day one and were not replaced during our stay. This is not a five-star service and reflects a management team not doing their job. The magic of the Vaud Riviera can be enjoyed from plenty of other hotels who have not forgotten to pay attention to detail.

Perfect blend of luxury and service.

So I am excited to write a review about this place as more than a hotel this was a complete package.. How is it? You can have an amazing view of the Swiss Alps while having breakfast if you are on business visit. If you want sometime for leisure than you can enjoy a swim in the pool with seam and sauna. If this is again u don't want grab a coffee and sit next to the lake and spend the entire day peacefully. Trust me Fairmont Le Montreux will not disappoint you.

Elegant stay with breathtaking views

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 month ago

We had an excellent experience in Fairmont Le Montreux Palace. The hotel is stunning with Belle Epoque charm, spacious rooms, and postcard perfect views of Lake Geneva. The staff was warm, professional, and attentive throughout our stay, making us feel truly welcomed. The spa facilities and lake promenade access added to the luxury. The only thinh which I can ask for is that the hotel should provide pick-up and drop-off till the railway station which is hardly 400 meteres.

Top-Notch Hotel with a Stunning View

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 months ago

We had a wonderful stay at this excellent hotel. We stayed there for 2 nights. The location is simply fantastic. Our room had a balcony with a breathtaking view of Lake Geneva – a true highlight of our trip. The room was very spacious, extremely comfortable, and equipped with everything we needed. It was also spotlessly clean. The bathroom was large and convenient as well. The staff were friendly, courteous, and efficient, always ready to help with a smile. One of the best parts of our stay was sitting on the balcony, enjoying the view of the lake and the beautiful promenade below — pure relaxation. Breakfast was excellent, with a rich and fresh selection to start the day right. In short, we wholeheartedly recommend this hotel and hope to return soon!
