If you’re searching for a great five-star hotel in Switzerland a smart place to look is the Swiss Deluxe Hotels directory because it lists the best of the best in the country. It include the hotel pictured, the classic Beau Rivage Palace in Lausanne. 

One of the things that makes the Beau Rivage in Lausanne such an ideal TRAVEL THERAPY destination is its location right across from Lake Geneve in a posh area of Lausanne called “Ouchy”.

All of the 169 rooms have been fully renovated and the Cinq Mondes spa is definitely worth checking out. A perfect way to spend the day it to sign up for a treatment and then relax by the pool.  

The Café Beau Rivage has some of  the best Steak Tar Tar I’ve ever tasted and after dinner you can take a stroll along the lake and soak up the sensational scenery. The Olympic Museum is also right on the lake just a two minute walk away and is a fun stop to make as well.  

If you want to stay in the heart of the city another great choice for a luxury hotel is the Lausanne Palace & Spa. About the same size as the Beau-Rivage this five-star property also boasts several top restaurants. 

While staying in Lausanne a favorite TRAVEL THERAPY restaurant to try that’s not in a hotel is Le Nomade. This place gets hopping on the weekends some come early if you want a great table or seat at the bar.
