BEAU-RIVAGE PALACE - Lausanne, Switzerland
The endless quest for hotel perfection ends here, at the luxe Beau-Rivage Palace which sits regally upon her throne of 10 acres of private gardens on the banks of crystalline Lake Geneva. The Belle Epoque buildings of this historical luxury hotel, member of a Leading Hotels of The World, command breathtaking views across the lake and dazzling Alps and features 168 richly appointed, impossibly elegant rooms and suites all waiting to spoil you. For extra grand flair, we recommend the spectacular Luxury Executive suites, all creatively designed in unique style. Long serving as a retreat for some of the world’s most rich, royal and famous, the hotel is a stunning Swiss gem.

The dining on property is perhaps just as awe-inspiring as the views, from the new gastronomic restaurant, “Anne-Sophie Pic au Beau-Rivage Palace” (which proudly holds 2 Michelin stars) to the “Café Beau-Rivage” and the refined and stylish sushi restaurant “Miyako Lausanne”.

Their signature Cinq Mondes Spa is truly a universe of relaxation unto itself, where guests are invited to discover the beauty rituals from the world over through an array of gorgeous body treatments, pools, fitness facilities, Japanese baths and Hammams. The Beau-Rivage Palace provides the impeccable service including also a special kids program to make each stay truly personalized and unforgettable.
