Lausanne was once an intellectual capital, attracting great thinkers such as Rousseau and Voltaire. Today it is a haven for those who love water skiing, swimming and sailing. The International Olympic Committee is even headquartered here. The town's history is evident, though, in its medieval cathedral, the museums of the Palais de Rumine, and Ouchy, the port where Lord Byron wrote "The Prisoner of Chillon" and the Treaty of Lausanne was ratified. For great views, hike up to the Signal de Sauvabelin.

Located on the shores of Lake Geneva, facing the Alps and just five minutes from the centre of Lausanne, the Angleterre & Residence, offers a world of refinement, elegance and absolute calm. Divided into six pavilions dating from the 18th, 19th and 21st centuries, this one-of-a-kind hotel features contemporary decor with clean lines within walls steeped in history. The Italian restaurant "L'Accademia" invites you to discover its friendly atmosphere and warm designer decor. The heated outdoor pool at the Angleterre & Residence stands in the midst of a lush green garden and is open in summer. Otherwise, a fitness centre is at your disposal all year round.
This hotel is an absolute gem. Nominally four star, the physical infrastructure, service, and ambiance are five star. In fact, the hotel's sister properly, the next door Beau Rivage, is one of the world's top five star hotels, and you have signing privileges there and at the other sister property, the Chateau Couchy. You can therefore book a spa treatment at the Beau Rivage, which is highly recommended. There is a two star Michelin restaurant there as well. The Angleterre's own restaurant, L'Accademia, is the best Italian restaurant in Lausanne and is highly recommended. The hotel's location is perfect -- right in the fashionable Ouchy district by the lakeside and less than a five minute walk to the nearby metro station, which connects you to other parts of Lausanne, as well as the train station. If you are looking for leisure and relaxation in Lausanne in an elegant and upscale environment, you can do no better than the wonderful Angleterre. After all, if Lord Byron stayed here, why shouldn't you?

Ideally located in the heart of Lausanne, the Olympic Capital, in French speaking Switzerland, the Lausanne Palace enjoys a superb view across Lake Geneva to the Alps. The beauty of its surrounding landscape makes it an exceptional place of refinement.

At the heart of Lausanne, the Lausanne Palace, offers to you its parking open 24/24 and 7/7, an ideal base from which to discover Lausanne and quickly and easily access the different services which the Lausanne Palace offers you.
Really enjoyed my stay here. The staff is very helpful and goes far beyond the ordinary customer service one would expect. The concierge team of Djamila, Christoph and Matt are both supper informative and had some great tips on how to spend my time in and around Lausanne. The view from the rooms is so nice, I found it difficult to leave. Great views of Lac Leman and the French part with the town of Evian. We took the boat across the lake upon Matt's recommendation! Fantastic, thank you! The Spa is definitely worth visiting, full size gym and good size pool to do laps with a sauna and steam room to relax afterwards. Have not had a chance to eat all three restaurants, but the Brasserie makes a great Vienna style Schnitzel. Overall, one of the best hotels i the country!!!

Ideally located at the doors of Lausanne, on the EPFL Campus the Starling Hotel Lausanne welcomes you in a modern and cosy environment.
The room was large, clean, very comfortable. Good air condition. Tasty breakfast. 3 minutes walk to EPFL, 5 minutes walk to the lake. The front desk young lady that received us was not very nice, not smiling, not pleasant to us. The room was not ready although it was after 16:00.

Second time at this hotel. Reception is extremely professional, friendly, and super helpful! Hotel itself is great location. Breakfast people, mainly one main middle age/younger guy is quite aggressive, and I recall him from last trip same. I did say something to reception and on last day he was very different… Dinner, we ate once, it is great food even though more expensive than most restaurants… very worth it! First time around, it was also great! BUT again, service… very hectic and aggressive, especially if you do not speak French. For this money it is not acceptable. Again, , just one person who I recall from last trip, is just how he is… but on that particular evening it was too much and its not like he was doing us a favour… we actually pay for our meal… and quite a lot! The girls working there on the other hand, are very professional and exactly how it should be! On our evening dinner, food was served very quickly with that we did not have issues. I would definitely stay again at this hotel but would think twice before having dinner there or even Breakfast… as in Lausanne there are SO MANY AMAZING restaurants and EVERY TIME ALL PEOPLE in the other restaurants are so friendly!!! P.S. I give average service, only because of the restaurant 2 particular staff. NOT because of reception who ware amazing!

The location of the hotel is idyllic based right on Lake Geneva. This was a great little base for my business trip to Switzerland. The staff were all excellent and very welcoming. Facilities within the hotel were excellent and well laid out. I would definitely recommend this for either a leisure or business stay. The public transport pass is certainly a nice touch.

Hotel with an ultra modern exterior, restaurant, bar and parking; located near public transportation; staff is multilingual.
Location is near the train station so easy walk which is why we chose it. There are restaurants near to the station and hotel. The room was comfortable and had a nice view into a common green space. The breakfast is not cheap, but it is absolutely worth the view.

The Hotel ibis Lausanne Centre is 100% non-smoking and is located in the city center just 20 minutes' walk and 5 minutes by bus (no. 3 or 21, St Roch stop) from the CFF train station. The old town, Lake Geneva and the Olympic Museum are 1.9 miles (3 km) away. The hotel has 127 modern, soundproofed and air-conditioned rooms, a 24-hour bar for a spot of relaxation and an undercover private car park with 32 spaces (surcharge, non-reservable). Guests can enjoy free public transport and WIFI.
My stay at this hotel was good, it was certainly clean and is in a good location. However, during my one-night stay, the WiFi failed and was not restored. I also did not like that breakfast was in the reception area, although I realise this is part of the design and cannot be changed easily. Also staff did not wipe tables when breakfasters left, so my table was covered with crumbs from previous diners. However, these are minor points, this hotel is good value for Lausanne.
