This hotel is right on the lakeside and has been updated in a sympathetic manner. The spa and pool area are both lovely and well-run; with an attendant making sure that everyone is accommodated. The gym was well equipped and mantained to an excellent standard. The rooms are comfortable but you have to pay for broadband and in the cheaper... more

My boyfriend and I decided to traverse Europe by following the Leading Hotels of the World guide book. What a big mistake! Bad, bad things: Our room was over $1,000 per night and totally not worth it (see my pics). We had a great view of the lake and they had fresh flowers and snacks in the room when we... more

I have stayed at the Beau Rivage 5 times in the past 10 years and it is one of my favourite hotels in the world. Setting is stunning. The building is grand - exuding another era - but the rooms work as (very) comfortable modern hotel rooms. I had not stayed there for about 4 years and returned February 2008... more

The Beau Rivage Palace in Lausanne, Switzerland is not for the small of pocketbook or loud of mouth. It is an old money place that has served wealthy Europeans for generations and so if you are nosiy and like to throw your weight around this is not the place for you. My daughter and I had a wonderful stay. The... more

My stay was very nice. The concierge services are excellent, the sushi in the restaurant is delicious, room service wonderful and the spa is fantastic. There was no request which was not taken care of swiftly. more

We stayed here for 5 nights over New Year's and this is a 5* luxury hotel at its best. The view of Lake Geneva with the Mountains as the backdrop is absolutely stunning!! The food was great, especially the room service and if you like sushi, try Miyako which is part of the hotel. We had a great meal there... more

We had high expectations for the Beau-Rivage, having read numerous reviews and published sources. And to be honest, from a distance, she is very stunning. The property is gorgeous and location idyllic - overlooking the shores of Lake Geneva. However, not unlike a number of historic hotels we have stayed in, she lacks modern panache and her sense of style... more

My wife and I spent the weekend recently at Beau-Rivage. It is absolutely fantastic and we were extremely happy with all aspects of the experience. The lobby is huge with lots of nooks and crannys to slide into with the newspaper. The spa, which is hard to find through a funny maze of elevators, is on the ground floor below... more

Beautiful building with a real sense of grandeur and luxury. Lovely room with a massive bathroom & nice extras such as robes and Bulgari toiletries. Fantastic setting looking onto the lake with the mountains in the background. Staff attentive if a little dour. Delicious food. Overall, if you are going to spend big on a hotel then this is what... more
