The Beau-Rivage Palace has never closed its doors since 1861, and over the years has played host to many illustrious guests. Victor Hugo, Charlie Chaplin, Coco Chanel, Nelson Mandela and Tina Turner are just a few of the many famous names. Considered to be one of Europe's finest hotels, the Beau-Rivage Palace remains true to its traditional values while at the same time constantly breathing new life into the hotel, matching the rapid and fascinating development of the "history of travel". Here we call it "Tradition in Motion". The latest manifestation of this constant updating is the refurbishment of the Palace Wing by talented interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon. All 169 magnificent rooms, including 26 junior suites and 7 Executive suites are fully equipped with the latest technological features. The spacious individually decorated rooms with elegant furnishings and high ceilings are a hallmark of all accommodations. Most of the rooms have superb views of Lake Geneva and the Alps beyond and have a Jacuzzi or balcony. Moreover, there is the magnificent Sandoz ballroom as well as 11 other conference rooms with a choice of either classic or contemporary decor and high-tech equipment with air conditioning and natural daylight to provide a consistently top-of-the-range service.
