Clay mask for full body is also a must-do, so relaxing. Mint tea following in the rest area was gamechanging. This place is the best.

The wellness area of the Lausanne Palace is amazingly beautiful. As soon as you walk into the…read moreLausanne Palace you feel like you have entered into another world. The hotel is a luxury five star hotel property. The owners of the Hotel D'Ouchy also own the Lausanne Palace, which is why all Hotel D'Ouchy gets get free access to the Lausanne Palace spa facilities. The facilities are numerous and you easily spend the day there, without ever even getting a service. Their is a sun room, outside terrace, fitness area, indoor pool, hot tub, sleeping room, hammam, dry sauna, juice bar and cafe, and treatment rooms. You are provided with a robe and slippers if needed upon entering. The changing rooms are small and there is very limited locker space. They have Aveda shampoo and shower gel so you don't need to bring that with you. They also have cheap flimsy combs in case you forget, but I recommend you bring your own as they are VERY difficult to use. They also have complimentary tooth brush w/ mini toothpaste to utilize. Also, there is only one bathroom in the changing area and two showers. The fitness area is stocked with the newest high end equipment. My only complaint is that it is VERY hot in the room and there are no fans. The pool is also VERY warm, it didn't seem like there was any difference in temperature between the pool and hot tub. I couldn't do very many laps without over heating. The dry sauna was INCREDIBLY hot. The atmosphere is relaxing, the decor is modern with Turkish touches, and everything is very clean. Their is free Aveda hot tea available to drink, and water bottles available in the fitness room. My favorite spot had to be the sleeping room, dark room with beds laid out with big cushy duvets. It was a fantastic place to catch a nap. My only complaint is that the temperature could be turned down a couple of notches. To note, their are separate hammam and dry sauna for men and women.

My friend and I came here in the summer season so only the main bath area was open but there are…read moremultiple baths throughout the town as well as saunas and indoor baths during the winter months. Accessing the spa was easy and if you're coming with your luggage you can leave it by the strollers but it's not secured. Towels are 5 euro with a 10 euro deposit. The lockers are all gender but they have bathrooms and lockable changing rooms for privacy. If you are POC be prepared to be the only ones so you'll get some stares but if you speak German the spa is easier to navigate as nothing is in french or English. We enjoyed our time but definitely expected natural thermal baths instead of pools. I recommend waiting to purchase an entry until you arrive so you can decide the pass you want. I'd also recommend coming in the winter season and staying a night so you have easier access to the other pools and bathrobes and towels provided from your hotel.

At one point I wanted to shower but daw a group of around 10 waiting so I decided to head for my hotel room shower instead. There are hair dryers there for you that actually dry hair, decent sized lockers for your belongings and a cafe if needed.

Modern, high-tech wristband entry, beautiful pools and thermal baths. Indoor and outdoor facilities…read morethat are impressive by American standards. Visited these baths in Brigerbad during low season in mid-May. It was like having the place to ourselves. But this is a huge facility that caters to the ski trip crowd in the winter months. They have an infinity lap pool with at least 6-8 lanes, wet saunas, hot baths, warm baths that are indoor/outdoor with lots of cool features, and gym and massage/beauty treatments. The prices are Swiss (expensive), but worth the value. Bring your own towels, flip-flops, toiletries as this is not a day spa that provides it. They do provide lockers and hair dryers. It seemed more like a mix of a gym (with a focus on water features) and day spa, but with a restaurant as well. Anyway, totally awesome experience and a hidden gem in Brigerbad.

If you are Swiss and a consistent thermal bath goer then perhaps you understand the complicated and…read morestrange ways of the Thermalbad spa... if you're a foreigner I would recommend you read this. Everything we did at the spa was wrong. We got there too early, we wore shoes after the changing room (a huge no-no). After a swim in the admittedly beautiful roof-top jacuzzi we changed into clothing to eat lunch (sitting in wet cold clothes in the bistro did not sound appealing).... and all hell broke loose. We were 'ABSOLUTELY' not allowed to wear clothes to lunch. When we explained we didn't want to sit in wet clothes we were met with blank stares. After lunch we promptly were told off for bringing a plastic cup of water outside of the Irish Bath area and for trying to eat a muffin near where we bought it... muffins must be eaten in a specific muffin eating area apparently. All told we were scolded a total 5 times in just a few hours. If you're looking to be told off repeatedly and to pay a handsome $350 USD for the experience, this is the place for you! If not we recommend taking a swim in your hotel bathtub.
