Weekend at Fairmont Le Montreux Palace Hotel

Hello guys,

I hope, you are well and enjoying your weekend!

Today it’s Saturday and finally, after a super busy week, I found some time to relax at home in Zurich, and also to get ready for my next trip!

I try as much I can to spend my weekends around Switzerland, so two weekends ago, I manage to spend my weekend in Montreux, and stay at Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, one of the best and most luxury and stylish hotels in Switzerland.

I’ve been many times in Montreux, also twice at the famous Montreux Jazz Festival, and I always had lunch or dinner at La Terrasse du Petit Palais and at the Jazz Café of Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, this real statue of Montreux. So you can imagine how happy was I when I had the opportunity to stay there and discover more about this so famous hotel!

Fairmont Le Montreux Palace is situated on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, overlooking the Alps. Built-in 1906, this Jewel of Belle-Époque architecture offers a traditional and elegant atmosphere and personalized and attentive service in true Swiss style.

In addition to being one of the most prestigious hotels in Switzerland, Fairmont Le Montreux Palace is the largest hotel in the Swiss Riviera region. Fairmont Le Montreux Palace offers 236 rooms and suites that are luxuriously furnished, designed with five star standards and amenities and equipped with the latest technology.

Whether you’ve come for rest and relaxation or to spoil yourself with live jazz and the finest of Swiss cuisine, you’ll discover it all at Fairmont Le Montreux Palace!

During my weekend, I stayed at one of their Signature Lake view rooms. The Signature Lake View rooms are large, luxurious, elegant and contemporary designed rooms, with a lounge area, a balcony and my favorite veranda, from where I could enjoy every morning the stunning view of Lake Geneva and the Alps!

Of course, during my stay, I visited the Willow Stream Spa, where I have the opportunity to relax at the sunbeds of the indoor pool, and let the spirit of the lake and the Swiss mountains soothe me to the very core!

One more time I had my dinner at Montreux Jazz Cafe. The Montreux Jazz Café was born of Claude Nobs’ passion for music and fine dining. The Festival founder, trained as a chef, designed them as a welcoming space where cuisine and music could combine in a way never seen before.

At the Festival, the proximity between the biggest musicians and the public, comfort, and an eye for details result in historic concerts and encourage the appearance of memorable moments. The menu is inspired on contemporary cuisine and includes dishes crafted with the very passion so characteristic of those inimitable Montreux moments: the famous B.B. Burger, Coquelet façon Quincy Jones, and the succulent Ella’s Cheesecake, and my always favorite Traditional beef tartar prepared at my table.

What was really impressive for me was that walking around this amazing building, I always discovered rooms and halls which were so impressive, luxury and elegant and give you the impression that you live at a real palace!

Thank you so much Fairmont Le Montreux Palace for this amazing weekend, and I really can’t wait to be there again!
