“The historic building, dating back to 1904, holds the distinction of being Montreux's sole 3-star hotel directly on the lakeside. Its family-run atmosphere seems to be a core part of the experience, and I think the location is ideal for exploring local attractions like the Freddie Mercury Memorial and the Château de Chillon. The inclusion of free local travel passes is a practical advantage that should appeal to many visitors.”
