Hotel des Trois Couronnes

We had a really nice stay in Vevey thanks to our experience here. I will preface to say, that like other reviews, the hotel is somewhat “dated” and while some would see this as adding to the charm of the experience, we do prefer more update accommodations. Normally I give overall rating based on all factors which would lead to less than 5 stars because of this aspect but the experience otherwise was very nice and don’t want to dock the property based on the building and their choice to honor the historical feel. I think the price when compared to the more modern/updated places is appropriately adjusted for so as long as you know what to expect, it is no problem. It was clean (which is very important to us) and our experience was exceptional service, especially compared to comparable stays in Montreux and because of that, would definitely look forward to staying here again. The location is convenient - but it is about an 8-10 min walk (some cobblestone) from train station with luggage… if you have a lot of luggage, or your luggage isn’t sturdy, recommend a taxi (15-20 CHF). The couple days I noticed a little musty smell in common areas but the next day they had fire in the fireplace which made everything smell cozy and nice. The room did not have the same musty smell as I smelled in the common area. The breakfast had many choices, was very good and had something for everyone- they even had meringues and Gruyère double cream! Their bread and pastries came from a nearby Michelin restaurant, baked fresh each day. They had hot made-to-order menu options included for no extra charge. As a LHW member, we did not get an upgrade on the room but we already had lakefront which was beautiful- no complaints. If I remember right, the toiletries are Molton Brown. The bed which felt very firm initially ended up providing excellent support and comfort and great nights sleep. If you love chocolate, I also recommend ordering a chocolate mousse cake from them. Superb! Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Sleep quality was poor because of the noise from slamming doors, walking in the room (or hallway) above, toilets flushing, and the outside heavy shutters slamming against the window. The floors are really creaky and the doors are the opposite of soft close. Another sleep issue is the heat. We were told there’s no way other than turning off the radiators to get the heat down. Even so, it remained 73F/23C. This it nor for sleep with the heavy bed comforters they provide. The hotel desperately needs an upgrade. It’s been about 25 years. For example, the shower has one of those heads that moves up and down a pole and not a rain shower. Also the water fluctuated so you had to be careful not to get scorched.

We had a wonderful five night stay in September in a lakefront junior suite, with stunning views of the lake and mountains. Our room was pretty and spacious. The hotel has classic old world elegance, and excellent service. Breakfast with that lovely view was a delight. We had dinner twice in the hotel’s more casual restaurant, which was good, and walked to nearby restaurants other nights. The train station and boat dock were easily walkable for excursions. An unusual cold spell kept us from enjoying dinner or drinks on the terrace, but that looked like it would be heaven in warmer weather. We had a very memorable stay.

We had a great time to enjoy the lake front room at the hotel. The staff did great job to prepare the room for the wife's birthday. The view is breathtaking and the hotel service is great. We did not have time to enjoy the spa but the breakfast is excellent. The hotel is suitable for romantic stay and the location is super for the sunset picture of Lake Geneva.

The best attention, incredible cleanliness, impeccable rooms and the best view of Vevey. Diverse food but the best time is spent on the terrace, everyone very attentive. You can take the bus for free if you show your stay at the hotel. They have an amazing spa and pool.
