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.

Wrapping up a solo snowboarding trip through the Swiss Alps, the Fairmont Montreux was planned to be my last destination to relax and recharge. This hotel was amazing. The spa is unreal, with beautiful views of Lake Geneva and the alps. Service is top notch. Will stay here every time I’m in Montreux!

Excellent place to stay in the Montreux area! Currently undergoing construction, but since it was Christmas time, we only heard noise on the first day - the workers were off after that! Since it was Christmas time, the famous Montreux Christmas Market was in full swing and only steps from the front of the hotel. The Palace has an excellent buffet breakfast that has something for everyone. We would really like to give a big thank you to the excellent staff at breakfast: Carlos, Leonilde and Luic (as well as others) - they made sure that everyone was satisfied at our table and Luic did an fantastic job preparing my omelet (I'm very picky about it not being overcooked). The sauna was as we remembered after coming here for many years. There are updates to the hotel: doors, where there were none before, that open automatically - nice touch. We hope that the finished version will hold all the charm of its previous iteration. Beautiful views from our room of the lake and the mountains in France. Excellent location for traveling and visiting France, Broc, Gruyere, Geneva, Bern, Interlaken, etc. Highly recommended treating yourself to this experience.

Hotel is excelente Staff are all excellent from reception to spa to breakfast team and off course housekeeping. Also we used the garage. Know that your car will sleep with the gentle smell of…. Spa (if this is not luxury 🤔 …) easy to park spots. We didn’t enjoy the Sunday brunch but we saw the preparation of it and it really looks fantastic. The only ( - )is that the App from ALL is not well “ synchronized” with the reservation system from Hotels. The app shows a different price from the original (and accepted) offer. The original offer being more expensive. This makes it difficult for reception staff. Which one is the good price? On the other side, the + about the app is that you can share the points with other loyalty programs. So I guess the communication system between ALL app and the hotel must be fixed. Anyway, a pleasure to stay there

We stayed here for 4 nights and was welcomed to the hotel by Francois who quickly booked us in, and then very surprisingly escorted us to our room and showed us around the facilities it had. A very nice touch which made us feel very special. Thank you Francois! It was a delux lake view room, which did have the amazing lake and mountains as the view. We had a box of chocloates when we got back later that evening and our bed had been turned down each night with a chocolate laying in wait! The next evening whe we returned, the staff had somehow found out it was my birthday and there was a lovely chocolate patisserie (and 2 forks which was a shame as I then had to share it). It tasted amazing. The hotel has charm and character which is still showing through, all the way from reception to the "ballroom" and dining rooms. At breakfast each morning we were welcomed and shown to our table which had more great views over the lake and mountains. Alena made us again feel very welcomed and showed interest in our plans for the day as well as sharing any experiences and humour. A lovely lady! The staff are all very polite though, warm and welcoming - well done to the management on their choices for staff. The pillows are the fluffiest we have experienced in our travels (I had to put this as it was the text being suggested in the review box before writing, but it is also so very true. Very comfortable bed and pillows!

This was my second visit and again I had such a nice time. We received two beautiful renovated rooms with lake view again like last year ♥️ My friend had a birthday and the hotel prepared a delicious cake in her room, but also I received exquisite pralines upon arrival. We had very nice relaxing time in the Spa and also we loved the breakfast 🫶Oleg from the breakfast was super kind and helpful. But the most I would like to thank Alex the FOM, who was very positive and made us happy!
