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.

Royal palace

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 days ago

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 room and spa at the Fairmont in Montreux

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 1 week ago

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.

Smoke on the Water, Snow on the Peaks

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

There are hotels you stay in, and hotels you remember. Fairmont Montreux falls firmly into the latter. The setting is magical—Lake Geneva in front, snow-capped Alps beyond, and a promenade that invites long, lingering walks. The staff, especially the interns, brought a warmth and sincerity that made us feel genuinely welcome. Not everything was perfect. Our lower-floor room missed some of the grandeur the views deserved, basic toiletries were absent, and a ceiling leak near the entrance persisted for most of our stay despite being reported. Yet somehow, the memories that endure are the good ones: jazz drifting through Funky Claude’s Bar, a superb “Smoke on the Water” cocktail in hand, and the timeless beauty of Montreux outside the window. Imperfect, memorable, and easy to fall for.

Perfect

We stayed in a lake and mountain view suite no 404 for 5 nights. I cannot fault this hotel at all. The accommodation is beautiful and very comfortable, the staff are charming, the views are gorgeous, the breakfasts are amazing. Probably one of the very best hotel experiences I have ever had. My thanks to the staff and management for a fantastic stay.

Wonderful

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 5 months 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.
