#montreux #casino #casinomontreux #swisstravelpass #switzerland Located on the shores of Lake Geneva, the Fairmont Le Montreux Palace is one of the most iconic landmarks in Montreux and the entire Swiss Riviera. It's not just a luxury hotel, but a living history of the "Belle Époque," a century of tumultuous change. 📜 A Century of Legend: From 1906 to the Present The hotel officially opened on March 19, 1906. Designed by Swiss architect Eugène Jost, it was completed in just 18 months, setting a precedent for "modern" hotels at the time with its heating, electricity, and private bathrooms. Several noteworthy moments in its history: The 1936 Montreux Convention: An international treaty concerning the regime of the Turkish Straits was signed here, a significant international legal document that remains influential to this day. A Hospital During Wartime: During both World Wars, the hotel served as a hospital and shelter for wounded Allied soldiers. A stage for celebrities and connoisseurs: From European nobles and Russian princes to New York bankers and Indian maharajas, all have been guests here. Writer Vladimir Nabokov resided here for an extended period, and Queen frontman Freddie Mercury was a devoted admirer, once saying, "If you want inner peace, come to Montreux." ✨ Stay Experience: A Blend of Classic and Luxury Today, the hotel retains its historical charm while offering top-notch modern service. Architecture and Rooms: A prime example of Belle Époque architecture, the hotel boasts 236 rooms and suites. Rooms are classically elegantly decorated, with most featuring balconies offering views of Lake Geneva or the Alps. The Michelin Guide has awarded it a Two MICHELIN Keys rating, signifying "an extraordinary stay." Dining and Bars: The hotel features several distinctive dining options. Montreux Jazz Café: A restaurant with the atmosphere of the Montreux Jazz Festival. Funky Claude’s Bar: Named after the founder of the jazz festival, this bar often features live music and is the hotel's nightlife hub. La Terrasse du Petit Palais: Open seasonally, this bar offers stunning views of the lake and Alps, perfect for enjoying Mediterranean cuisine in the summer. Sunday Brunch: Renowned as one of the finest brunch options in the Swiss Riviera, served in the elegant Belle Époque salon. Wellness & Spa: The 2,000-square-meter Fairmont Spa features indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, and a range of treatments. Events & Meetings: The hotel boasts several magnificent multi-functional halls. The Leman AB Hall, capable of accommodating up to 1200 guests, is ideal for large banquets, car shows, or conferences; while the Grand Hall, complete with a piano and fireplace, exudes a historic ambiance and is perfect for cocktail parties and high-level meetings. Glion, a charming village atop Montreux offering panoramic views of Lake Geneva, possesses an elegant Belle Époque charm and serves as an excellent starting point for exploring the region. To experience the unique allure of Glion, consider these options: 🚞 Classic Arrival: Take the Century-Old Cable Car The journey to Glion is a trip in itself. From Territet on the lakeshore, take the Territet–Glion Funicular, one of Switzerland's oldest cable cars, operating since 1883. This cable car is famous for its 57% incline, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Geneva and the Alps during its short 8-10 minute journey. 🏔️ Stunning Scenery and Footprints of Famous Figures Upon arriving in Griewyn, the unparalleled views are a must-see—encompassing the entire Lake Geneva and the distant snow-capped mountains. This captivating scenery has attracted numerous celebrities. It is said that Empress Elisabeth of Austria (Sisi) once stayed here, and F. Scott Fitzgerald, author of *The Great Gatsby*, also lived here; his silhouette can be found on the town's "Celebrity Trail." 🌸 Alpine Hiking Griewyn is also the starting point for many alpine hiking routes. The most famous is the "May Snow" spectacle in spring, when wild daffodils bloom across the mountains, turning the slopes white and filling the air with their fragrance. In addition, this is the starting point for the journey to Rochers-de-Naye, where you can attempt the more challenging Via Ferrata (railway climbing).
