Actually this is a great hotel - sort of mix of early twentieth century art work (some of the paintings would get you arrested these days, but they passed for art then). Its about three metres from the lake (horizontally) and about a hundred above - so great views, but a little tricky if you have vertigo. The special rates... More

I am a travel writer and spend a great deal of time carefully choosing unique hotels as I know how one can misinterpret internet photographs. The choice of a hotel can make or break a travel experience and render the journey truly memorable or eminently forgettable. I was on a research trip to Switzerland as I am writing for a... More

This was our second visit and we asked for Room 18 which is on the corner above the main entrance. It is a fairly large and a charming room with windows on two sides. There was a bowl of roses on the table with fruit and sweets. The views over the lake from the small balcony are stunning. There are... More

We agree with all the excellent critics. A Palace as it's difficult to find nowadays. All seemed to be a dream here: the bedroom, the views, the service, the restaurant. The best of the old world with the touches of modernism needed and of excellent taste. Bravo! it's so rare! Congratulations to the owner and team. More

Having been to the hotel already a second time, we did not regret it. The hotel is a more traditional house of a seemingly bygone era of swiss grand hotelerie, however at a slightly more affordabele price as it is "only" a four star hotel. Good restaurant with upscale cuisine. Stunning location. If you cannot get a room with a... More

It's a quiet, comfortable and charming old fashioned hotel with good food and a stunning view over the lake. Just 5 minutes down to Montreux without the noise and the crowd. The only drawback (for some few hot days in the summer) would be the lack of air condition in the rooms. More

I visited the Hotel Victoria on business for a congress. Although the hotel was mostly empty but for our group (off-season), I was given a dreary rooom, on the back side of the hotel (no view) and so small that I had to walk carefully not to bump into the ugly, mismatched old furniture on the way to the worn-out...

We have visited the Victoria several times over the last 10 years or so and it never disappoints. We were very lucky with the weather this time which was hot and dry, meaning that we could dine outdoors in the evening. The Victoria is situated high above Montreux with a stunning view across Lac Leman to the mountains beyond (Queen... More

Intended to stay in Montreux but all lakeside hotels were full. Luckily we drove up the steep hill to Glion and were delighted to spend the night in the Victoria Hotel. Knowing it was in the Relais and Chateaux Group we realised it would not be cheap, but we really enjoyed our stay. We chose a room (56) on the... More
