Your guide to the best luxury hotel in Vevey
Grand Hotel du Lac VeveyFor this guide we reviewed the best hotels in Vevey and chose one: a luxury hotel of 1868 right on the shore – with a recommendation that is small but faces the lake. 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 Vevey – and who it suits
Our choice for Vevey is the Grand Hotel du Lac Vevey right on the lakeshore, eight hundred metres from the station. In our ranking it stands at 4.7 out of 5, and a night starts at 301 euros. The hotel is independently run and belongs to Relais & Châteaux.
Why we recommend it: Because it is the hotel Vevey has had on the water since 1868 – 50 rooms and suites, refurnished between 2004 and 2006 by Pierre-Yves Rochon, with a garden on the shore in which the outdoor pool lies. Dinner is at Emotions par Guy Ravet, the gourmet restaurant, and on the La Marina terrace above the lake; add the Spa Valmont. The station is eight hundred metres away, Chaplin’s World a kilometre and a half, Montreux five. Our recommended category is called Superior Lake View.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
The recommendation is the smallest room in the hotel – but it faces the lake.
The list: 19 square metres in the Superior to the lake and 20 in the Superior to the town, 23 in the Deluxe to the lake, 30 in the Deluxe to the town and in the Deluxe to the lake, 31 in the Deluxe to the town; then 45 in the Suite to the lake, 46 in the Junior Suite to the town and 110 in the Léman Suite. Four look out to the lake, four to the town.
What that means: our recommendation Superior Lake View has 19 square metres. That is the smallest room in this hotel. But it looks out on what one travels to Vevey for: Lake Geneva. The 20 square metres to the town are one metre more and the other window.
Anyone booking the recommendation gets the lake on the smallest floor space. Anyone wanting the lake with more room has two steps: the Deluxe at 23 to the lake, four square metres more – or the Deluxe at 30 to the lake, eleven more. Anyone putting space above view takes the Léman Suite at 110.
The package: breakfast, upgrade on arrival and a welcome gift. The upgrade is the benefit that counts here: from 19 to the lake to 23 to the lake is the shortest jump in the hotel.
Our advice: Book the lake, and let the upgrade work. Anyone who wants the floor space guaranteed from the start books the Deluxe at 30 to the lake – the category where view and space come together.
Where to stay in Vevey: right on the lakeshore, eight hundred metres from the station
The Grand Hotel du Lac Vevey stands right on the shore of Lake Geneva in Vevey – eight hundred metres from the station, a kilometre and a half from Chaplin’s World, five from Montreux, 18 from Lausanne and 62 from Geneva airport.
Our recommendation is therefore for anyone wanting the lake from the room – and for those arriving by train who roll the suitcase ten minutes along the water.
What lies within reach: the lakeside promenade with the fork in the lake and the Alimentarium, from the door; Chaplin’s World in the Manoir de Ban, a kilometre and a half; the Lavaux vineyards, a World Heritage site, one stop by train from the station to Saint-Saphorin.
For orientation: Geneva airport is an hour away by train, Montreux with the jazz festival and Chillon Castle a quarter of an hour, Lausanne twenty minutes. The Rochers-de-Naye at 2,042 metres are an hour by rack railway from Montreux. In Vevey one walks along the water.
Nine categories: the best hotel in Vevey from the inside
The Grand Hotel du Lac Vevey offers nine categories, three suites among them.
The rooms: 19 square metres in the Superior to the lake – our recommended category –, 20 in the Superior to the town, 23 in the Deluxe to the lake, 30 in the Deluxe to the town and in the Deluxe to the lake, 31 in the Deluxe to the town.
The suites: 45 in the Suite to the lake, 46 in the Junior Suite to the town and 110 in the Léman Suite.
On the view: this hotel’s motif is Lake Geneva with the Savoy Alps behind – four categories face it as Lake View, four more face the town side as City View.
What applies equally to every category: breakfast for two, the upgrade on arrival subject to availability and a welcome gift.
What a night at the luxury hotel in Vevey costs
A night at the luxury hotel in Vevey starts at 301 euros.
The suitespot benefits apply here from the first night. Included are: breakfast for two, an upgrade on arrival subject to availability and a welcome gift.
When it is loveliest: from May to September, when the outdoor pool in the garden is open and the La Marina terrace above the water is laid.
What belongs to Vevey: winter. From November to February the lake is grey and the promenade empty, the pool closed and the Spa Valmont the reason for the trip. That is not a warning but the calendar: anyone coming then has the lake side without waiting.
When to ask early: in July, when the jazz festival in Montreux fills the whole Riviera, and in December for the Christmas market on the Montreux shore.
How long to stay: two nights for lake, Chaplin and Lavaux – three if Chillon and the Rochers-de-Naye are added.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.
50 rooms, a lakeside garden and exclusive services in a 5-star hotel
The Vaud Riviera is the strip of shore between Lausanne and Villeneuve where palms grow because the lake stores the warmth – with Vevey as the town of the fork, Montreux as the town of music and the Lavaux as the vineyard between them, terraced since the Middle Ages.

First Chaplin’s World: the Manoir de Ban in Corsier, where Chaplin lived for 25 years, a kilometre and a half. Second Chillon Castle: the water castle at the eastern end of the lake that Byron made famous, twenty minutes. Third the Lavaux: eight hundred hectares of vine terraces, a World Heritage site, one stop by train.
The package at this hotel is breakfast, upgrade and gift.
What our travel advisors arrange most often: the room to the lake, for the reason stated above, the table at Emotions and the trip into the Lavaux with a winegrower – because a tasting in Saint-Saphorin ends better by train than by car.
