Royal Savoy Hotel & Spa: A Castle of Turrets Above Lake Geneva

The Royal Savoy Hotel & Spa is one of the most romantic silhouettes in Lausanne, a castle-like Art Nouveau landmark of 1909 with turrets, balconies and gardens in the lakeside Ouchy district. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, it wraps its belle-époque heritage around a soaring five-storey spa and a rooftop with sweeping views over Lake Geneva.

The dining rises with the building. The Sky Rooftop serves Italian cucina above the city under chef Paolo Principe; The Brasserie du Royal offers generous, seasonal brasserie cuisine under chef Alexis Ribes; and the Lobby Bar overlooking Japanese gardens pours fine spirits and a Royal Tea Time.

For a grand, storied Lausanne stay, the Royal Savoy is a benchmark.
