First our room ...it was a lovely suite, with awesome balcony, floor to ceiling window views overlooking the LAKE and alpine mountains beyond. Simply breathtaking. I could easily have lived there ( no seriously) for a month ( if finances allowed) ! Very reminiscent of The Gilded Age, this hotel property has been updated but maintains its old world charm & elegance. If I didn't have a desire to see all the beauty surrounding me in Montreux, I may have Just lounge Md around in our room & enjoy the hotels many offerings! My husband's favorite part was the brunch/ Breakfast..served in a Conservatory (glass enclosed) space with views overlooking the lake & mountain vistas! Lots of fresh offerings enough to satisfy even the pickiest eater. The LOCATION, also a big part of our ease of stay. Very short walk from the rail ( train) which runs like a reliable SWISS clockwork! Clean, and timely rail cars make using the trains in Switzerland a real asset to a traveler eager to see many sights! Overall I loved this hotel, and Montreux. Switzerland has my heart! Hope to return in the near future. Possibly to their famous JAZZ FESTIVAL!

Yelp Review 2026 #153:…read more Probably my favorite hotel stay while in Switzerland. The location is super convenient. It's right across the street from the train station. There are bus stops a few feet away depending on where you're going and which bus you're taking. There are lots of restaurants and cafes in this area. The hotel is beautiful outside and inside. I'm also about smells - this hotel smells fresh and clean. We left our backpacks here when we arrived in the morning and did the preliminary check-in process so that when we came back to check-in in the afternoon, all we had to to do was grab our room key and our backpacks. The lobby is quite nice. There's a beautiful restaurant with a nice view of the lake. There's a nice gym on the top floor. You can workout with a view of the lake. There's a spa area. However, it's uncomfortably hot in the gym. The room was beautiful. It was spacious and we had a balcony with a table and chairs so you can enjoy the view while eating breakfast or a snack. The fridge has bottles of water, soda and juice. There are also bottles of water on the nightstand. The bathroom is quite small. L'occitane toiletries. You get robes and slippers. Plenty of TV channels from all around the world. As long as I get British channels, I'm all set. And American shows dubbed in a different language is always funny to me. The bed was comfortable with lots of pillows. It was very quiet. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at this hotel.

I have never imagined having to have to write a negative review about such a beautiful hotel as the…read moreGrand Suisse - Montreux, but I must. The breakfast meal and food and hotel service was wonderful. The food was always delicious and clean. My company comes here often, usually in teams, sometimes just one person at a time. Our clients use this hotel, too. Although the room was tiny and its description was misleading, everything was clean. Yet, it is in the room that I have had the worst experience of my entire business career. I have traveled all over the world for over 30 years and have had horrific experiences, but none of the rooms harmed me, until now. It is a very simple thing, but it is treacherous, and there is no excuse for it. And the staff admitted it. The bathroom has a small step that one must navigate from the bedroom. At daytime, this step up to the bathroom from the bedroom is easily seen, and as long as there is enough light, one steps up easily. Yet at night, when I was sleepy, in the total dark, I tripped on the step and fell onto the stone floor directly impacting my left knee and wrist, injuring myself. My knee swelled up instantly and I was in pain instantly, and severely. I called my friend in the US who told me to go to the kitchen to get ice and take ibuprofen. I did so. I had one day of work left and did not want to let my team down. I had one last night left to stay in Geneva before flying back home. So instead I went down to the kitchen in search of ice. The kitchen staff was incredibly considerate and prepared a large sealed ice pack which kept me from going to the hospital. As I write this, three days later, my knee is less swollen and bruised, but it still swollen and hurts a little. There is no excuse to put a step leading to the bathroom so someone can trip and hurt themselves in the dark. My business team and client use this hotel and need to stay near Montreaux, and we also stay in Geneva and Zurich. I will strongly advise our company to avoid this hotel after 1) being injured because of a dangerous and useless step, and 2) not receiving any sort of coupon, adjustment or written apology after being injured because of a careless design flaw. My knee and wrist still hurt. I cannot express my deep disappointment at this acknowledged safety hazard. If I was in the United States, I would take further action, but I loved everything else about this hotel, and wish only positive things and a thank you to the cafe staff that helped me when no one else in the hotel would help me. When I told the front desk when I checked out, all they said was they knew this step was there, and was in other rooms, as well. This acknowledged trip hazard borders on egregious ignorance and a strict review to be certain of compliance and accident prevention, IMHO.

Looking out to rolling hills, cows, deer, biplanes, and the storybook-like views you can only find in Switzerland is incredible. And the bed was comfortable. You cannot beat the location. Nestled at the entrance to the medieval city, staying here allows you to both easily walk anywhere in the city and park your car in their lot right by your rooms. No lugging your briefcase over cobblestones to get to your hotel in the medieval city, and no driving to get to the medieval city. And you aren't sacrificing any beautiful architecture staying here - it's a great building. The restaurant is so good! We had a lot of fun with the raclette, and the ice cream and meringue dessert was huge but super fun. If I ever came back to Gruyeres, I would definitely stay here again. We had a great time!

Note that all menus in Gruyeres are extremely identical so good customer service is a great way to set them apart. During our three visits we tried a variety of wines, Cafe Vienna, the beef broth soup, fondue, raclette, meringue and double cream, liqueur soaked cherries with ice cream and double cream and the salad. One dish that set this eatery apart was their version of the Brazilian pan de queso with gruyere stuffed in the center (perfection!). You'll notice that this restaurant takes over two buildings across the street from one another with patio seating as well as indoor (two levels). We really appreciated that they allowed us to share the one serving size of both the fondue and raclette (ordering two portions is not only too much food but pricey as well).

And we got it,…read moreuntil... we found on our beautiful terrace a big box with stones and cigarettes filter (it's an absolute NON SMOKING place), with a dozen of empty beer bottles...that were not removed by the cleaning agent. Maybe the terrace is a "non cleaning area". Outside furniture was dirty by the way. We went to check the complete suite (we had the family one). Dust that should not be there (Covid time). Door handle broken (for a long time already). Toilets not fixed on the floor - very practical to sit on :( Also broken tiles. OK well we can say : maintenance is not they strong point. We just wanted to relax. The massage was really fine (I insist. Definitely worth it). The sauna and the jacuzzi too (well we did not ask for the covid protocol but the water had a strong chlor scent). We had diner there. It was OK but a bit expensive with narrow choice. For the final price, it's not worth it. Too expensive and last but not least at checking when I spoke to the lady she did not welcome my comments, neither the person sitting next to her (the owner ?). I mean : customer are the priority, aren't they ? One last thing : I explicitly told the night of arrival about my gluten intolerance. No worries, I was told. We have gluten free beer for breakfast. Lies. Only lies and I got no excuses at all. So don't stop by, even for the view. It's not worth the money. -

The check in and check out procedure is so personal. They sit you down and treat you as one on one. Unlike anything I have ever experienced. Upon checkout, they give you a small parting gift too. The dinner was fantastic albeit small portions but 8 courses! The cheese bar is out of this world with 20-30 different cheeses. You can also get cheese to go if you want. As much as you want. They have a neat little cigar bar with Cubans of course. The breakfast buffet in the morning was fantastic with plenty to eat. Oddly, we never got to the spa or pools but we did check them out. Next time... If there is a next time.

Just came back from a stay at Lenkerhof. For sure it was a highlight. A great way to end a long…read morevacation to relax and unwind before heading back home. The town of Lenk is very small but oh so beautiful! Very fortunate the weather was clear and warm compared to the rest of my rainy and grey trip. It is a journey to get to the resort. I was coming from Salzburg which was about an 8hr journey. If you're coming from Zurich it's about 2.5 hrs and if you're coming from Bern it's about 1.5hrs, all by train. Long story short, since I was coming from Salzburg the journey took longer than expected and we didn't check in till about 21.30. We were so tired and hungry when checking in they could sense how exhausted we looked and they called the restaurant to see if they would stay open for us and they said yes! We immediately went to eat and the servers never rushed us and they treated us so well. I was very grateful they stayed open late for us. Tips/Comments: The website, at least for me, was very difficult to get information on what was included in my booking. Friends were the ones who told me about this place and I just mimicked the same packaged they got. So when we arrived I felt like such a cheapo asking if this and that was included b/c i just didn't know. So with the gourmet package dinner AND breakfast is included. Couldn't find a place on site to eat lunch except for in the Sauna they have this vegan broth that provided some substance. Also the contents in your mini fridge are included as well (thank god!). It was the first and only part of our trip where we had free water. Speaking of which, note that most of Europe's drinking water comes from Switzerland so drinking the water from tap is completely ok, even at the airport. When you're at the fancy dinner you can ask for free tap water as well. You also get a city card that lasts the duration of your stay. Highly recommend taking the lifts up to the top (about a 20minute ride) and the views are worth it. If you ever wonder why the town seems empty or quite it's because everyone is on that mountain hiking down. And let's not forget the sulphur pools and sauna. The pool is wonderful and just note that the Sauna's are nude. I get nude is totally an ok thing for Europeans but I'm sorry, my American-ness just couldn't strip down. They do provide a thin towel that I wore to cover up while i was in the sauna, just don't expect anyone else to do the same. Also, don't talk in the saunas. You will get scolded. Last but not least, if you decide to go into town and eat food off site its is VERY expensive. My lunch of a soup, salad, and coke was 38 swiss franks. 0_0

Also if you are traveling with kids, they have a bunch of board games at the lobby, and there was a playground in a park right next to the hotel. Easy access to the promenade where you could take a walk around the lake. Bus stop right in front of it, plenty of buses to take you around the city. Also withing walking distance, a migros.

Once we got to the room, more carpeting, faded and dated. Thankful I remembered my slippers. I will say, the sheets were crisp and clean. Our adult children were staying in a different room. The next morning our son showed us a video he had taken of 2 sizable insects in his room. Needless to say, their room was changed and apologies were given left and right from the front desk. This hotel needs a full makeover. For the price they charge, you'd expect a modern room with modern clean furniture--free from insects!! We were there 2 nights. The 2 stars were given to the front desk clerk named Vincent. He recommended a great Italian restaurant in the area and we enjoyed it thoroughly. We will not return to this hotel. That's unfortunate because it is in a great location.
