Nestled between the Swiss Alps and Lake Geneva, Montreux is the jewel of the Swiss Riviera: snow-capped peaks behind you, palm trees in front and the beauty of the Belle Epoque all around. Presiding over Avenue Claude Nobs and the waterfront promenade for more than 100 years is Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, a hotel as resplendent as the city it calls home, with grand ballrooms, sparkling chandeliers, mouthwatering cuisine and a flair for romance simply unrivaled in the region, if not the continent. Is there a more heavenly destination in Europe for your next getaway?
