One of the most prestigious hotels in Switzerland, Fairmont Le Montreux Palace is a Belle-Époque gem built at the turn of the 20^th century. Standing tall in a microclimate on the shores of Lake Geneva, the ‘Pearl of the Swiss Riviera’ contains lavish stuccoed rooms that have hosted the cream of society: from European aristocrats such as Lord Byron (who penned The Prisoner of Chillon nearby) to Russian princes, not to mention authors and musicians, it’s also played a conspicuous role as a chamber to some of the world’s most important diplomatic treaties. Here, we take a stroll under the Palace’s golden awnings, through its vast lobby and past its fresco-covered walls to see why it’s still considered one of Europe’s most iconic addresses.
