  • Night and Dinner at Beau-Rivage Hotel in Neuchatel

Located in a historic mansion built in 1862, the hotel is a veritable haven of peace magnificently situated on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel. An ideal starting point to discover the prehistoric pile dwellings, added to the Unesco World Heritage list in 2011 as well as enchanting scenery and the secrets of the Watch Valley, the cradle of Swiss watchmaker know-how. Authentic cuisine based on local produce can be savoured at the restaurant “O’Terroirs” with a panorama view of the lake and the Alps. And you should not miss the largest selection of traditional Swiss absinthe in the Veranda Bar. You are very close to the picturesque city of Neuchâtel, whose beautiful yellow sandstone buildings made Alexandre Dumas write that the “city was like a town carved in butter”.

  • Night and Dinner at Grand Hôtel du Lac in Vevey
The famous interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon has restored the elegance of this majestic residence on the shores of Lake Geneva. Rochon has created a universe that celebrates the historic past and combines it with subtle contemporary flourishes. The rooms look out on the lake and the Alps, the spa is exceptional and there is an oriental lounge where rare teas can be savoured. The cuisine gives pride of place to fresh produce, featuring fish from the lake and spices from all over the world. This is an inspirational place; Anita Brookner wrote her novel Hôtel du Lac within these very walls.
