About Beau-Rivage Palace

As you step into the Beau-Rivage Palace, the scent of freshly cut roses greets you, a subtle nod to the hotel's longstanding tradition of floral arrangements. This isn't just a hotel; it's a statement piece on the shores of Lake Geneva, a structure that has stood since 1861, bearing witness to the evolution of Lausanne. The Beau-Rivage Palace is a blend of Belle Époque grandeur and contemporary luxury, where the past and present coalesce seamlessly. Upon arrival, you're met with a sense of calm that permeates the air, a tranquility that's hard to find in the hustle and bustle of city life. The service here is discreet yet attentive; the staff knows your preferences before you do, ensuring that your stay is nothing short of perfection. Each morning, you might find yourself in the Park spa, where the sound of water cascading from the indoor pool is the only disruption to your peace. The Coco Beach Club, with its private lakeshore, offers a unique blend of urban luxury and natural beauty, where you can lounge on a sunbed with a view of the Alps. Dining at the Beau-Rivage Palace is an experience in itself. The Anne-Sophie Pic restaurant, with its two Michelin stars, is a testament to culinary excellence. The chef's signature dish, the 'Homard Bleu Royal,' is a celebration of fresh lobster, presented in a way that's as much a visual feast as it is a gastronomic one. The restaurant's setting, with large windows that frame the lake, adds to the allure. Those who stay here are often repeat visitors, drawn back by the hotel's ability to offer a sense of home away from home, coupled with the unparalleled service and dining experiences that are second to none.

  • The hotel's dominant sensory character is one of serene sophistication, with natural light flooding the spaces and the gentle scent of lavender in the air.

Dining & Bars
