    Our stay at this sumptuous hotel was truly a pleasure! We were there 4/2-4/5 (Early spring) of…read more2023! 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!

As we now spend a lot of time traveling as I was planning the finale of our two weeks in Switzerland I was seduced by the sirens song of the Palace-beautiful belle époque exterior right on the lake. Plus at over $1,000 a night, I had high expectations. Unfortunately these expectations proved impossible to meet: PLUS: we booked a superior lake view king, but were "upgraded" to a two-rooom suite in the oldest part of the hotel on a very low floor. MINUS: Arrived at the hotel-had to wait 90 minutes past "guaranteed" 4 pm check-in time for our room, although the desk staff parked us in the bar and bought us a drink while we waited. PLUS: across the street or via underground walkway you can reach a new, beautiful spa. We spent a nice afternoon there PLUS: our rate included the lavish breakfast buffet with eggs cooked to "order" MINUS: service is very hit/miss at the hotel. At breakfast instead of eggs Benedict we got a hard poached egg on a dense muffin had after a long wait. Another day in an empty restaurant it took 20 minutes to get a single egg scrambled with tomato. PLUS: the rooms have AC that does a great job Minus: my request on the first morning to fix a noisy AC FAN never happened -lucky it was the sitting room and not the main bedroom. PLUS: we had a two room suite to spread out Minus: the small cramped bathrooms (yes we had 2) had showers the size of phone booths. Bottom line: in my opinion this hotel isn't geared for people like us-luxury travelers looking for a memorable experience. Instead this is a mass-market hotel solely focused on groups and incentive travel. A large Mary Kay convention was in house during the first half of our stay followed by an Edward Jones group. There was also a wedding. Staff is kept busy managing their banquets and events and the individual traveler can get lost in the shuffle. Even the concierge desk is only intermittently staffed. I don't think I could recommend this hotel to a friend-certainly not at $1000 a night (maybe at $500).
