The Royal Savoy Hotel & Spa

Overview

Set on the sparkling northern shores of the famed Lake Geneva (or Lac Léman as it’s also known in this French-speaking region of Switzerland), the Royal Savoy Hotel & Spa has long been a favored haunt of royals and aristocrats from around the world, including the Spanish royal family, who called the hotel home for a time. Located in the heart of the charming city of Lausanne, this grand Art Nouveau hotel first welcomed guests off the legendary Orient Express back in 1909 and to this day remains a place of luxurious retreat. Following an extensive five-year renovation, the hotel has been lovingly restored, melding its Art Nouveau past with contemporary interiors and a sprawling spa specializing in Biologique Recherche facials. With 196 rooms and suites set in two separate wings – the more traditionally appointed Savoy Wing and the contemporary interiors of the Park Wing – there’s a choice of two distinct but complementary styles of decor to choose between. Similarly, there’s two choices of cuisine from traditional to modern dishes served at La Brasserie du Royal, and be sure to head to its SkyLounge for unforgettable 360° panoramic views of Lake Geneva, the soaring Alps, and the charming city of Lausanne.
