Location:
Montreux, a Swiss resort located between Lake Geneva and the Alps, is an
ideal starting point for many day trips. Montreux Palace is located less
than one hour from Geneva international airport (90 km) or two hours from
Zurich international airport (200 km) and scarcely half-hour from the Lausanne
train station, with direct connections by TGV to Paris. The hotel is just
a three minute walk from the Montreux train station. Le Montreux Palace
has always been one of the finest of the great international hotels. In
1928, it was in fact one of the founding members of the famous "Leading
Hotels of the World" group that today more than ever includes the most
prestigious establishments in the world. It all begins with a wave of luxury,
elegance and refinement composed of innumerable details - frescoes, glasswork,
precious woodwork, crystal chandeliers - from the Belle Époque.
History:
In 1881, two famous Swiss pioneers from Montreux Alexandre Emery and Ami
Chessex buy the Hotel du Cygne (built in 1837). In 1895 they found the
company “Le Montreux Palace & Cygne”. The Swiss architect Eugene Jost
builds the Palace in a record time of 18 months and the hotel opens on
March 19th 1906. The new hotel is joined to the original Hotel du Cygne
by the Salon de Musique, the Grand Hall and richly decorated ballrooms.
Wonderful parties such as Venetian Nights, fancy-dress balls, concerts
and many other grand social occasions were held in the magnificent “Art
Nouveau” and “Neo-Baroque” rooms. Guests came from all over the world:
European aristocrats, Russian princes, New-York bankers, maharajahs.
