Your guide to the best luxury hotel in Chardonne
Le Mirador Resort · City centreFor this guide we reviewed the best hotels in Chardonne and chose one: a luxury hotel looking out over the lake – with rooms that are almost all suites. What that means for booking is below.At no extra cost: booking through suitespot costs the same as booking direct with the hotel – the benefits come on top, free of charge.
One luxury hotel in Chardonne – and who it suits
Our choice for Chardonne is the Le Mirador Resort on Chemin de l’Hôtel Mirador, on the slope of Mont-Pèlerin. In our ranking it stands at 4.2 out of 5, a night starts at 321 euros, and it belongs to the Leaders Club.
Why we recommend it: Because it is a 5-star hotel with 64 rooms and suites, every one of them with its own balcony – in this position that is the actual point. The hotel is a member of The Leading Hotels of the World. Vevey lies two and a half kilometres below, Montreux nine, Chillon Castle eleven, Lausanne sixteen. Our recommended category is called Superior.
Where exactly it stands: Chardonne is a wine village of some 3,000 people, and the hotel stands above it on the slope, with the lake in front.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
Eleven suites, twelve times the lake – and only two figures.
This hotel offers 16 categories, and eleven of them are suites. That makes the list unusually top-heavy: there are only five rooms.
On size: the Superior measures 20 square metres, the Deluxe 50. Our travel advisors confirm the size of the other categories before you book.
And this is exactly where our recommendation deserves a look: it is called Superior and has 20 square metres. Which way its view faces, our travel advisors will clarify before you book. Twelve other categories look out expressly to the lake.
So anyone coming for the outlook – and in this position one comes for the outlook – should ask for a category with a lake view, not for the entry category.
And one rule that is easy to miss: points in the Leaders Club are earned here only if the club number is given at the time of booking. Forget the club number and the points cannot be claimed afterwards.
Our advice: ask for the lake, send the club number. Both are settled before booking, not after.
Where to stay in Chardonne: on the slope of Mont-Pèlerin above Lake Geneva
The Le Mirador Resort stands on the slope of Mont-Pèlerin – two and a half kilometres above Vevey, nine from Montreux, eleven from Chillon Castle, sixteen from Lausanne and 61 from Geneva airport.
Our recommendation is therefore for anyone who wants the lake seen from above – and for those who walk the Lavaux vineyards and would rather not go back down to town in the evening.
What lies within reach: the Lavaux, 800 hectares of vine terraces between Lausanne and Montreux, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2007; Vevey with the Alimentarium and the Charlie Chaplin statue on the shore, two and a half kilometres; and Chillon Castle, eleven kilometres, on a rock in the water.
On arrival: Vevey has the station, and a funicular climbs from there to Mont-Pèlerin. Geneva airport is 61 kilometres away, Lausanne sixteen.
16 categories, twelve times the lake: the best hotel in Chardonne from the inside
The Le Mirador Resort offers 16 categories, eleven of them suites.
The rooms: Superior at 20 square metres – our recommended category –, Deluxe at 50 with a lake view, plus another Deluxe, a family room and one room without a name.
The suites: Deluxe, Prestige (twice), Duplex (twice), Mirador (twice), Royal (twice), Presidential and one without a name. Most of them look out over the lake.
On the view: this hotel’s motif is Lake Geneva – twelve of the 16 categories look out to it. For a hotel on this slope, that is the most important question when booking.
A small note: families have a dedicated family room.
What applies equally to every category: breakfast for two, the upgrade on arrival subject to availability, regular points if the Leaders Club number is given and early check-in and late check-out subject to availability.
What a night at the luxury hotel in Chardonne costs
A night at the luxury hotel in Chardonne starts at 321 euros.
Bookings start at one night. Included are: breakfast for two, the upgrade on arrival, regular points if the club number is given and early check-in and late check-out.
When it is loveliest: from May to October. September and October bring the harvest in the Lavaux, and the terraces are open.
What belongs to Lake Geneva: the fog. In late autumn and winter it often lies over the water – and anyone staying at 600 metres sits above it in the sun. That is why people built up here.
When to ask early: for the Montreux Jazz Festival in July and for the harvest in September.
How long to stay: two to three nights – a day in the Lavaux, a day for Montreux and Chillon.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.
A balcony to every room and exclusive services – the 5-star hotel above the Lavaux
Chardonne has around 3,000 inhabitants and lives on wine: the Chasselas of the Lavaux grows on terraces laid out by monks from the 11th century onwards. Since 2007 the whole landscape has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

What our travel advisors arrange most often: the category with a lake view, for the reasons stated above, the table looking over the lake and the tastings in the Lavaux.
