The staff went all out to make our stay feel the most confortable and welcoming I have ever felt in a hotel. Friendly, knowledgeable, they definitely went the extra mile. The spa, the location, the grounds, all were just stunningly beautiful. Walkable to the center of the shops, restaurants and coffee places. I would live there if I could. It is just an amazing hotel.

What a gorgeous property! Received an upgrade to a corner suite which was not only large but had spectacular lake views. Felt like royalty. Dined at Le Relais where both the food and service were excellent. The hotel is adjacent to a funicular and an easy walk to town. The staff are wonderful. A truly fantastic stay. Highly recommended!

we had a wonderful stay here. The location is perfect, and we had a wonderful room with the most incredible view, no complaints at all. My only complaint was the food at the breakfast buffet, it was really nothing special, locked, originality, and somewhere homemade options.

Noisy Room location

While the location and the service/staff are amazing, they gave us a room on first floor over the restaurant where the piano/mouse was annoying and the pets friendliness was also loud due to a dog constantly barking.
