Grand Hotel du Lac (Superior - 6 Km from Montreux)

The hotel is in the old section of the charming town of Vevey, about an hour from Geneva and 6 Km from Montreux of jazz festival fame. Surrounded by snow-peaked mountains, Lake Geneva is tranquil and strangely soothing, which may explain why so many famous artists, from Dostoevsky to Charlie Chaplin, sought sojourn there. The comfortable public rooms are exquisitely furnished. Discover one of the region's most renowned dining experiences in either "Les Saisons" fine dining restaurant or "La Veranda" casual dining, overlooking Lake Geneva and the Majestic French Alps. Relax and take your time every Sunday from September to July during the brunch where a large selection of buffets carefully prepared by the chef awaits you. The bar is original and unique. Its style of far away origins with a traditional fireplace, Chinese tapestries and furniture, takes you late into the night. Guests can also workout in the fitness room, and enjoy the Turkish bath, sauna as well as an array of treatments and massages. Superior rooms are located on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floors and offer 19-29 sqm of living space. The rooms are beautifully decorated in yellow pastel tones; this French-style decoration is a wonderful reflection of the talented decorator Pierre-Yves Rochon. The bathroom has a bathtub and/or shower, sink, toilet, make-up mirror, stool, towel warmer, hairdryer and the finest amenities. The rooms boast modern day comforts and offer views of the Swiss mountains or the city.
