Victoria Glion

During the months of September and October I stayed 3 times in this warm cozy hotel. Its location, close to the clinic of De Valmont, is what originally motivated my choice. I came back again because of how perfect it was for me. It is quite large but feels like a family run hotel, with the kindness and attention to details and to customers that you usually only find in 5 star hotels. The view and location are spectacular. The rooms and the hotel are not modern, but well kept and super clean. The room was large (room 25, a suite with an amazing view and a separate living room) and very comfortable. Breakfast is delicious. more surprising, dinner was just amazing, with an attentive and professional service. The soufflé au cassis for dessert was worth the trip.

I recently stayed here in October. The Hotel Victoria is a fairytale dream come true. From the landscaping which leads to one of the most beautiful views, to the cozy turn of the century interior furnishings, it feels like an extension of the owners’ home, who welcome each guest graciously. The service is five star, the food delicious and authentic to the surroundings with a mixture of Swiss-German and French cuisine. To wake up and witness snow falling on the distant Alps and how the clouds and sunlight shift their reflections on the lake is other worldly.

I stayed the second time in Hotel Victoria. What is amazing for me is the level of service and the attention to details. It is a classic 5 star service and in addition combined with the warm hospitality of the owner family Mittermair. This mix and the beautiful setting is getting rare in the world of hospitality. Very worthy to visit and I will come back again soon.

A beautiful, high class, old world property with stunning grounds, amazing lake views and superb ambience. The location perched high atop a steep hillside is superb. Victoria Glion's staff is very professional and highly knowledgable of the immediate and surrounding areas. Ask them anything and the answer will be super informative.

This hotel is listed as a 4-star, but I do not believe it falls under the 4-star category. No AC in the rooms - they mentioned they could provide us with a fan if we were feeling hot. LOL! The room did not have an iron or coffee machine unless you ask - even then, water bottles and coffee pods were not refreshed. Plumbing issues (slow drainage, noisy sink) did not help either. Service was poor: the front desk rarely greeted us, seemed glued to the phone, and couldn’t provide basic local info. When I asked about the Glion train and Roches de Naye Summit and their timetable, they had no clue - even though the hotel advertises ticketing assistance online. We ended up finding out ourselves that the summit was closed for construction. The website also says there’s a common coffee/tea area in the lobby, but there was none. The biggest issue is the smoking smell. The lobby smelled of smoke and felt dark and dingy. Breakfast was limited, especially for vegetarians/vegans. Dinner was overpriced, bland, with very few vegetarian options. The only saving grace here is the beautiful view of Lake Geneva and the mountains. We stayed in Lucerne and Interlaken at true 4–5 star hotels, and the difference was night and day. This property has potential, but right now it does not deliver on the 4-star promise.

Absolutely beautiful spot and worth a visit! The hotel has preserved it's elegence and authenticity with a warm and refined atmosphere. The view over the lake and mountains is simply breathtaking, a panorama you never get tired of! However, I noticed that the staff was more attentive to the wealthier guests than the "standard" ones. In a hotel of this standing, such behaviour is shameful and disappointing.

One of the best hotels we’ve visited in Europe. My husband and I stayed for 3 nights for a Babymoon in July. Classic, French hotel (think white-coated waiters, wine on the terrace, antiques everywhere including in our room). The rooms are works of art with antiques and watercolors. The restaurant hosted the best meal we had all trip through Switzerland (albeit it was formal and pricey, but totally worth it). There is a giant terrace and big pool, which was welcome in the heat. Only potential drawback—which we gladly would take again—was its location up a hill, which requires either a small train or an inclined plane to go up. The inclined plane runs every 15 minutes and is free with a pass the hotel gives you, but it did add to the journey time to site see in Montreux. The benefit of being on a hill is that the hotel is perfectly quiet at night (Montreux is a bit of a party scene in July) and there are views, views, views of Lake Geneva. I did not see a family there, but that’s not to say they wouldn’t accept kids. No AC in room, but they provided a fan. Thank you for a great stay!!

Victorian style old luxury. Superb location, easy to access by 🚉 & 🚂 Manicure gardens, fantastic vistas, views of the lake and mountains. Excellent restaurant, especially if you're into white table clothing.
