Byron lakeside residence
The property runs like a residential estate, with four historic pavilions set around private gardens directly on the Ouchy waterfront.
What it’s good at
Listed
Danilo Mondada placed clean contemporary interiors inside four historic lakeside pavilions.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
From the outside, it looks like a classic Swiss resort, all manicured gardens and stone façades, set at the edge of Lake Geneva with the snowcapped Alps above.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
CGN ferries dock just across Place du Port, and the lakeside promenade leads directly to the Olympic Museum.
The rooms
Rooms in the contemporary Longchamp pavilion have private terraces facing the water, and heritage rooms look out across the gardens.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool sits in the English gardens, open seasonally from May to September.
The gym
Cardiovascular and fitness training machines sit beneath the vaulted stone ceilings of the historic Lutetia pavilion.
Restaurant
L'Accademia
The dining room looks over Lake Geneva, and the summer terrace serves traditional Italian antipasti and aperitivo spritzes.
At the table
Breakfast is laid out as a daily gourmet buffet, and private dinners sit beneath painted ceiling murals.
How it began
The École hôtelière de Lausanne was founded here in 1893, holding its very first hospitality classes inside the hotel.
