Hotel Royal Savoy Lausanne
The Royal Savoy Hotel & Spa is part of the prestigious The Bürgenstock Collection and shines with exclusive service at the highest level. The hotel, originally built in 1909 and renovated from the ground up, is an integral part of Lausanne's hotel history. After a 5-year refurbishment programme and a total investment of CHF 100 million, the Royal Savoy Hôtel & Spa Lausanne opened its doors again in November 2015. The hotel has 196 rooms and suites on offer, with 101 in the historic building, the Savoy Wing and 95 in the Park Wing, which harmoniously and seamlessly connects to the elegant originally built building. A unique restaurant with panoramic terrace, a lobby as well as cigar lounge and an excellent wellness temple compete this exceptional hotel. Much like the early Swiss palaces, its magnificent architecture and reputable hospitality tradition attracted the aristocracy and renowned personalities. For a number of years, the Royal Family of Spain thus lived in exile at the Savoy, while the King of Thailand was also a regular guest. Built in the Art Nouveau style, the hotel and its layout were a magnificent display of the finest materials, becoming an essential part of Lausanne’s historical heritage. Since its reopening, the Royal Savoy Hôtel & Spa Lausanne has revived its former glory and opened a new chapter in Lausanne’s history of hospitality.
