The Beau-Rivage Palace
is surrounded by 4 hectares (10 acres) of lush gardens, with cedar,
begonia, and sculptures. Built in 1861 and extended in 1908, the
hotel has been renovated with respect for its original period
architecture. The hotel is among the last bastions of formal Europe,
attracting both aristocrats and la grande bourgeoisie, but not
forgetting the demands of the world's business travelers. In the
tradition of the grand hotels of yesterday, rooms come in a wide
range of styles. The less desirable are somewhat sparsely furnished
and open onto the parking area, while the more luxurious have
Oriental carpeting, wing chairs, and private balconies overlooking
Lake Geneva. The hotel is air-conditioned through an ingenious
system using water pumped from nearby Lake Geneva.
Four restaurants provide guests ample cuisine from which to choose.
In association with the only French woman to hold the Michelin
Guide’s coveted 3-Star rating, the new gastronomic restaurant
"Anne-Sophie Pic at Beau-Rivage Palace" will open in spring 2009.
The “Café Beau-Rivage” serves brasserie-style fare in sophisticated
surroundings, with a large terrace facing the lake. The refined and
stylish sushi restaurant “Miyako Lausanne” offers you exquisite
sushi prepared on the spot. At the end of the day, the “BaR”
provides a relaxed atmosphere with live music each evening. Part of
the resort in the adjacent sister property Angleterre & Residence,
“L’Accademia” offers fine Italian cuisine and boasts one of the best
terraces in Lausanne. |
