Grand Hotel du Lac Vevey

The terrace views over Lake Geneva and the French Alps have been making guests feel smug about their itinerary since the place was new, which was a very long time ago. This classic Swiss lakeside grand hotel holds fifty rooms and suites dressed in lush traditional style with just enough contemporary restraint to avoid tipping into museum. A Michelin Key, a fine-dining restaurant, a spa, and a summertime Buddha-Bar Beach pop-up round out a quietly overachieving package.
