Grand Hôtel du Lac Vevey: two labels for a rebirth

After having joined the « Relais & Châteaux » group in 2008, the Grand Hôtel du Lac in Vevey integrated, in June 2009, the Swiss Deluxe Hotels association, which groups about forty five-star hotels across Switzerland.

Two labels for a « small » hotel which sports all the characteristics of a large one. Recently renovated by the architect Pierre-Yves Rochon, the establishment, originally built in 1868 and reopened in 2007, tallies only 50 rooms. A human dimension gives it a very « manor-like » touch. The present meets the past and a decidedly eclectic spirit transpires in this dwelling, with harmony as its only rule. Original elements thus mix with Chinese-inspiration tapestries and furniture. And as it should be in a hotel of this standard, one also finds a gym, a hammam and a sauna with all the body care and massages one can dream of. A very beautiful conversion for this hotel, born during the Belle Epoque, which, like a lot of establishments in the luxury hotel business, has seen its share of turpitude and new owners.
