Hotels in Montreux

Along the flower-lined promenade, Lake Geneva sparkles while Freddie Mercury's statue strikes an eternal pose. The cogwheel train to Rochers-de-Naye delivers Alpine panoramas worth every switchback. Château de Chillon rises from the water like a medieval dream, its stone walls holding centuries of secrets. During the legendary Jazz Festival, music fills every corner of town, from grand venues to intimate cafés. Belle Époque palaces stand as elegant reminders of when European royalty discovered this microclimate paradise. Duck into Musée de Montreux for local history before wandering the Christmas Market, where mulled wine warms hands while shopping for handcrafted treasures. For a perfect afternoon, grab a lakeside bench and watch boats glide by with snow-capped mountains as backdrop.
