A wellness escape in complete intimacy since 1913.

Set between Lake Geneva and the Alps, Fairmont Le Montreux Palace 5* offers an exceptional setting where romance meets timeless elegance. This Belle Époque landmark, an icon of the Swiss Riviera since 1906, provides an enchanting atmosphere for unforgettable wedding celebrations while embracing the vibrant culture and natural beauty of Montreux.

Our Belle Époque façade has been beautifully restored, and all Lake View Rooms have been fully renovated. Their design blends the historic character of the Palace with refined contemporary touches, ensuring absolute comfort for couples and their guests. The full renovation of the property will be completed by the first trimester of 2026, meaning that for your wedding dates, the hotel will feature enhanced rooms and a beautifully refreshed façade.

Located directly on the shores of Lake Geneva in the heart of Montreux, the hotel offers 236 luxurious rooms and suites, as well as elegant event spaces that can accommodate every moment of a wedding celebration. Lakeside ceremonies in our private gardens, cocktail receptions overlooking the water, gourmet dinners in our historic salons, and vibrant evening parties can all be designed to create a truly memorable experience.

Montreux is easily accessible with direct flights from major US gateways to Geneva Airport, followed by a scenic one hour transfer along the lake and mountains.

Fairmont Le Montreux Palace 5* provides a breathtaking natural backdrop, personalized service, and an irresistibly romantic setting for sophisticated weddings and tailored celebrations. I would be delighted to share more and craft a unique experience for the couple and their guests.
