Hôtel Château d'Ouchy****S

Lausanne

Magical and futuristic! The Château d'Ouchy on Lake Geneva has 50 highly unusual rooms, including ten junior suites and three large suites housed in a castle as full of atmosphere as it is full of character. The interior of this boutique hotel combines ancient walls with tasteful contemporary design, this being the concept underlying the tasty fusion cuisine served in the restaurant.

For lovers of Typically Swiss Hotels

The history of Château d'Ouchy dates back to 1170, when the Bishop of Lausanne had a large tower built.

Having at various times been destroyed, burned down and enlarged, the estate was sold in 1885 to one Jean-Jacques Mercier, who had the ruins torn down. Only the tower was left standing and this was modernized and incorporated into the Neogothic château built in 1893.

In 2001, the hotel was purchased by French-speaking Switzerland's lottery provider, which fixed it up and in 2007 reopened it as a boutique hotel under the direction of the Lausanne Palace & SPA.
