Top Saanen Hotel Reviews

J5 Hotels Helvetie Montreux

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay in this very convenient location!"

Grand Hotel Suisse Majestic, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great stay. Hotel is extremely clean, as was our room. Housekeeping provided excellent service. Reception were good. Only issue was that staff had no knowledge or recommendations regarding parking. We basically had to figure out the most cost effective option on our own. I would suggest they brush up on this."

Mona Montreux

8/10 Good

"They were only two tiny operable elevators during my stay in this 10+ floor hotel, so the wait times when going down were bad. I just took the stairs, but for my elderly parents, they had to wait each time. Staff were nice and helpful. Rooms were good and they had a free stocked refrigerator (5 drinks) that was a pleasant surprise. The view from the room was also quite nice. We tried the breakfast that includes a made to order egg station and overall it was good, but we did not find it worth the cost."

Grand Hotel du Lac - Relais & Châteaux

10/10 Excellent

"We had to have a discussion with the reservation staff to get a better room. We were assigned a first floor room over looking a parking lot. After some discussion and significant increase in room cost we were moved to a larger third floor room with a nice view of Lake Geneva. What is the point of staying at the Grand Hotel du Lac if you can’t see the lake from your room. The hotel had many large tour groups who swarm in and out fast. Our overall experience was very good it is a very elegant hotel with a very professional exceedingly friendly staff. Since it sits on the waterfront with easy access to lake front walking and many restaurants along the way."

Fairmont Le Montreux Palace

10/10 Excellent

"Great property just steps from Lake Geneva. The room and hotel were beautiful and grand. The breakfast that was included had great variety and made for a stress free morning. Especially since you can sit on the terrace overlooking Lake Geneva. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The spa, gym, pools are modern and quite large. It's really nice the property has both an indoor and outdoor pools. Overall I would highly recommend this property."
