Rue Bon Port 27, 1820 Montreux, Switzerland –

A wonderful Belle Epoch Hotel.... our room was exceptionally large and comfortable. The Promenade was absolutely gorgeous. There were beautiful spring flowers all along Lake Geneva. Breakfast was delicious. We’ll return soon.

Ruth, United States of America

Big swimming pool, balcony overlooking lake of Geneva.

Pascal, Switzerland

Location and comfort was top notch and the best view of lake Geneva. Balcony view was amazing and the pedestrian road along the lake was picturesque. It didn’t get any better and this is probably one of the best hotels I’ve stayed at with booking. I would highly recommend this place

Harry, United States of America

Great location near to cruise port and to the castle.

Taehyung, South Korea

Great location Friendly staff They allowed early check in and out Awesome overall

Naseem, Bahrain

Very good location. We had a nice room with balcony and a lake view

Jyothi, Switzerland

Wonderful place, perfect location and a breathtaking view. We had a deluxe room with the lake view on the 4th floor. Room was clean and light, with a super comfy bed. Great service, hoping to come back again. Highly recommend ordering room with the lake view. Definitely WORTH IT.

Marianna, Denmark

the size of the rooms was generous, but they were filthy!

Hotelreviewer, United States of America

The view is amazing and the room is big. But that's all.

Django, Switzerland

Great location and view, excellent facilities and outdoor areas. Good spa and pool. Lots of public transport option. Poor parking arrangements and it’s not true you can reserve parking in advance. Breakfast disappointing for the price

Located in the heart of Montreux, the Hotel du Grand Lac Excelsior has a privileged location right on Lake Geneva, on the Quai des Fleurs (Flower Bank). It offers free access to the spa area including a swimming pool and free WiFi. All rooms have a lake-view balcony.

Built in 1907 in Belle-Epoque style, the Hotel du Grand Lac Excelsior is a haven of peace and features authentic historic Art Déco stained-glass windows.

Each room and suite, with a balcony or terrace, overlooks Lake Geneva and features a breathtaking panoramic view of the Alps.

Access to the wellness center of the hotel is free for all guests. There is a fitness room, a semi-Olympic-size swimming pool and a healthcare center.

Guests enjoy free local transport and other benefits include discounts on boat trips.

This is our guests' favorite part of Montreux, according to independent reviews.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.8 for a two-person trip.

The breakfast. Coffee was so so, hot , black coffee-like liquid. The buffet was rather modest, maybe we didn’t come early enough.
The Hotel is great, location is even better.

The hotel is old. Definitely the refreshment is required. The most terrible part, our car which was standing right in front of the hotel was robbed. We have reported to police but not sure they will find the stolen things. Hotel personnel was trying to assist and promised to send the things if they are found.
Location is good. The beautiful view from window👍. The hotel personnel provided us the free tickets for public transport which can be used for whole day.

No kettle in the room. No one answered the phone at reception when we called, we had to walk out of our room every time we wanted to ask for something. No one answered housekeeping or in-room dining either. Pretty basic service. WiFi was terrible. Kept getting disconnected after a few minutes. When we told the lady at reception she agreed but couldn’t offer access to any other WiFi at the hotel.
Amazing location and views

I was really unimpressed with the breakfast. Table was lovely if a little small and the view stunning but the selection of breakfast on offer was surprisingly limited - in almost every area, but especially the hot food.

“Great location, stunning views, a bit old rooms.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Junior Suite - Lake Side
- • Stayed 2 nights
Rooms are a bit old, despite relatively recent renovation - all wooden elements (doors, windows) are with scratched paint etc. The balcony was not clean. We were planning to use Sauna and SPA, but when we arrived we were told that SPA is closed on Sunday. It was our primary driver for selecting this hotel but there was no mentioning of this neither on their web-site nor on Booking.com. Pool is fine, but Saunas are super small and located separately in F and M changing rooms, which limits your experience if you visit as a company of friends of different genders.
Great location. the views from the rooms are stunning and outweigh small things described below. The bed, bathroom, living room etc. was good and comfortable. The hotel was very nice to accommodate an extra bed for the 3rd person. Personnel in general was very nice and friendly.
