About Us
Mountains, music, magic—they all come together in beautiful harmony in Montreux, the Pearl of the Swiss Riviera. Surrounded by the soaring Alps and nestled along the shores of sparkling Lake Geneva, Montreux has delighted elite travelers for over a century with its inimitable mix of continental elegance, and natural splendor. And in the heart of it all lies Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, a marvel of Belle Époque architecture boasting a lakeside location and a reputation for impeccable hospitality stretching back to its founding in 1906. Whether you’ve come for rest and relaxation or to spoil yourself with live jazz and the finest of Swiss cuisine, you’ll discover it all at Fairmont Le Montreux Palace.
The natural splendor of the surrounding Swiss Alps mingles with the cosmopolitan charms of Montreux itself, from gourmet dining and fashionable shopping to world-famous music and comedy festivals. Elsewhere, medieval castles complement cutting-edge museums and galleries. Our guests can explore the Swiss Riviera’s rich history and culture at plenty of destinations throughout the region, all year round.
