Check Availability & Pricing
Hotel Information: Known as the Pearl of the Swiss Riviera, this turn of the 20th century hotel oozes sumptuous elegance. It was built in 1906 in a mix of styles with a heavy Art Nouveau leaning and absorbed the 1837 Hôtel du Cygne. From the grand lobby, with marble floors and chandeliers, a grand stairway sweeps up to reception and the Grand Hall. A hushed air greets a mixed clientele of global stars and statesmen.
Amenity highlights: The splendor of the Grand Hall and banqueting salons, like the Art Deco La Coupole across the road from the main hotel, combine seamlessly with the latest in spa comfort in the The Willow Stream Spa. Guests relax in the pools, steam baths, and relaxation room, or opt for a shiatsu or other specialized treatment. A battery of restaurants turn out everything from refined French dishes to sirloin steak.
Insider tip: Star-spotters are at home here during the summertime Montreux Jazz Festival, as this is the hotel of choice for an international line-up of music stars who converge on the town for one of the world's top music extravaganzas.

After the exercise, some opt for a lie-down in the relaxation room, a hot bath with essential oils, or a massage in one of 10 treatment rooms.
A series of banqueting and meeting halls create a sumptuous environment for top level business and diplomatic occasions. The first-floor Grand Hall, with its marble columns, chandeliers, and plush furnishings acts as an extended lobby, is readily converted into a glittering reception hall. It is complemented by six other grandiose spaces bristling with stucco statuary, heavy embroidered drapes, and mahogany furnishings, and a series of more modest conference spaces.
