About this hotel
Beau Rivage Palace is an independent hotel in Lausanne, Switzerland, built in 1861 on the shores of Lake Geneva. The property carries significant historical weight as a landmark of 19th-century Swiss hospitality, with the classical architecture and waterfront setting that defined the Belle Époque period. The hotel draws guests seeking access to Lausanne's cultural attractions, the lake itself, and the quieter pace of the city centre away from larger resort clusters. Recent recognition from Forbes Travel Guide (2026) signals continued investment in service standards and guest experience. The lakefront position remains the defining feature: guests wake to water views and have direct access to the Lausanne waterfront promenade. The hotel appeals to cultural travellers, couples, and those exploring the Lake Geneva region on foot.
