"If you look at the Grand Hôtel du Lac and see a spectacularly well-preserved 1868-vintage example of the classic Swiss lakeside grand hotel, well, you’re mostly right. As a matter of fact, longtime patrons of this Vevey favorite will recognize that it’s in what might be the best shape of its life — which is high praise for Pierre-Yves Rochon, the Parisian designer who presided over its extensive renovation. Today it’s a classic luxury hotel with just enough contemporary visual interest to still feel fresh — and of course the timeless views of Lake Geneva and the French Alps beyond its southern shores are nothing short of awe-inspiring." - Tablet Hotels
