This
is one of Europe’s grand hotels, a huge old Belle-Époque marble and granite expanse built in 1906 on the shores of Lake Geneva
and home-away-from-home to movie stars, rock stars, writers and poets over the
century. The rooms, decorated in warm rich tones and fabrics, are wonderfully
grand, offering
old-world comfort alongside the latest technology including wireless Internet.
Most have verandas, balconies or enclosed sunrooms from which you can enjoy the
glorious colours of the sunrise over the lake, a site worth waking early for.
Dine
at one of the hotel’s restaurants or drive up the winding mountain roads past
ancient terraced vineyards to Hotel du Monde
in Grandvaux for unsurpassed views over the vines and across the lake to the
Savoian Alps.
