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.

I arrived with as much "stuff" as I thought I would need, toiletries, figuring I could shower after, blow dryer just in case they didnt have one, etc....well here goes my review. Pay and get a little electronic bracelet that allows you to enter what you have paid for. In addition, it allows you to have a locker and lock up your stuff. Silly me, I figured I could rent a towel there however, there was no towel in sight, so lesson learned. Everyone is required to shower before entering and the pool is nice, warm, bubbly, wasn't crowded ( I was there on a Tuesday)...we also entered the Japanese bath which was even warmer and even less crowded. Also near there is another whirlpool, also outside, probably just as warm but I didnt try it out. Nor did I try out the sauna since some guy walked out completely nude and it was enough of s shock to me that I didnt need to see what was waiting inside the sauna. My other issue is that there is no proper shower to get naked and shower in afterwards. After this I would have liked to, however all I could do was wash my hair in the communal shower in my bathing suit....the hair dyer I brought, French plug..forgot the Swiss adapter so I had to use their dryers....I have felt hand dryers stronger than these so it took a while to dry my hair and finally get out. I will try some other thermal spas before I go back to this one,, however, if I go back I will be more prepared. Towels , adapter......

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.

There are hair dryers there for you that actually dry hair, decent sized lockers for your belongings and a cafe if needed.

DISASTER! If you are looking for a relaxing spa day with your girlfriends this is NOT IT!!!! Over a…read moremonth in advance I booked 4, 1 hour massages. As soon as we got in the car to head to the spa we received a call that one of the staff was sick. It was unfortunate, but we decided to split one massage in two, so that all four of us could still get services. Upon arrival we are told that somehow, our four HOURS of services could now only be THREE 25 MINUTES MASSAGES! This left one of our group with NOTHING. I could understand needing to switch all of the services to 25 minutes possibly, but this was beyond unacceptable. There were two massage therapists working. We were spending 900 euro. Even if the one therapist was not there, how do you explain the 2 hours we reserved with the other therapist not being available to us??? It was supposed to be a relaxing start to our family holiday, and it was chaos. No staff gives you a tour or any guidance, and it's a confusing layout. They clearly prioritize a high influx of the day access to the amenities over services. They had extremely overbooked the day passes, it was mobbed. It was hard to change, walk through the hallways, hang up your robe, enjoy anything at all. One of us who could not get her massage should at the very least had her day access complimentary, but no! I have been to many QC terme's in other areas globally, and I have never been disappointed. This one is in desperate need of proper staff, and serious customer service training. Do not waste your time or money!

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.

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.
