Montreux Palace
Montrex is one of the popular resorts in Switzerland. There are many high standard hotels and difficult to find budget hotel.
and especially this one is the most famous hotel represents the city.
Fairmong Palace Hotel Montreux. Overviewing the lake, the hotel is standing proudly along the lake coast.
Once you enter the lobby, you will see red carpetted stairs up to the reception. Typical for traditional hotel, the design is classical.
Reception. Unlike those American big chain hotels, the reception is small.
We were led to our room walking through the hall which also functions as a banquet room. The view of the lake is great.
But to be honest, our room was quite dissapointing. There must be many rooms which facing to the lake but our room was on the corner without view. I had to go out of the balcony to see a “partical lake.
There were 2 sinks practical for 2 geusts.
Bathrobes.
Amenities are good. “Miller Harris” from London, famous for it’s nice aroma.
I liked this one, towel tightened with a bow.
Shame that I couldn’t take photo but complimentary spa was very good. One huge indoor pool, jaguzzi and outside pool were available in the spacy wet areat with full glass window. You can also enjoy naked zone in private sauna in each locker room.
Breakfast was nice. Variety of fruits, pasties, cereals.. Freshly squeezed juice were great.
I also like to order omlet specially to a chef. Accompanied by bacon and sausages, I ate too much from morning.
If I had the room facing to the lake on the beautiful day like this, our stay would be even better. It is a hotel welcomed Michael Jackson and other important people before so must be THE BEST hotel in Montreux. Indeed, the view from the brakfast restaurant was awesome.
