                  Conceived in a typically Parisian spirit, the Brasserie du Grand Chêne of the Lausanne Palace & Spa conserves intact all the charm of the Parisian brasseries of old.

                  Côté Jardin - Mediterranean restaurant, boasts a panoramic terrace overlooking Lake Geneva and the Alps, and offers all the freshness of Lausanne combined with the warmth of the typical dishes of the South.

                  Palace Sushi Zen thus offers guests all the specialities of the traditional Japanese cuisine revisited: sushi and sashimi, udon noodles and Soba soup.

                    The location is perfect and the hotel is really nice. For the prices charged should have been better, for the money you spend I expect 5* service not just a large lobby and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Dinner till late, practical bathroom, a beautiful and calm swimming pool leading to an outdoor sun terrace, excellent restaurants and a great club too. Spa is wonderful.

                    Its location is perfect, the hotel staff is really professional and the service people are helpful and courteous. Rooms are comfortable, food is excellent.

                    Very few restaurants are open and all the stores are closed, price/Performance does not add up. Waiters are rude and uninvolved.

                    The fitness center is excellent and all in all, a fabulous hotel and one I would love to return to some day. Customer service is fantastic and rooms are spacious. Breakfast could be improved, its one of the best spas in this side of Europe.
