Beau Rivage Palace

Hotel Overview



History

The Beau-Rivage Palace has built a reputation for being one of Europe's favorite hotels for its service and high quality. 24 March 1861 marks the inauguration of the Hotel in the Lakeside Village of Ouchy. 47 years later, in 1908, opens the second part of the Hotel, the Palace Wing. Built in a different style, neo-baroque, the Palace was connected to the Beau-Rivage wing by its beautiful and impressive masterpiece " La Rotonde ".

For almost 140 years, the Beau-Rivage Palace has gone through wars and crisis and is still standing majestically on the lakeshores. After 8 years of ground renovations, it is today as resplendent as at its inauguration’s day and is one of Europe’s truly original Resort Hotels.
