Palais Lumieres

Clean room

This hotel has four different buildings. The one we stayed in required climbing 39 steps to get to the entrance; the others were much more accessible. Luckily, the hotel staff was most helpful and accommodating in carrying our suitcases to the room. The location is exquisite: opposite Lake Geneva and the well-maintained walking/running/biking path beside it, on the edge of a shopping /dining district in Lausanne. The rail shuttle to the main Lausanne train station runs every 3-7 minutes and is two blocks from the hotel parking lot. The hotel’s buffet breakfast is expensive. If a patisserie would suit your needs, there is an exquisite one a block away.

Great location, beautiful lobby, and helpful staff
