Since its opening on 19 June 1915 during the Belle Époque, the Lausanne Palace & Spa has been an integral part of Lausanne's social fabric - an institution hosting locals, global dignitaries, and serving as the residence of multiple IOC presidents. Owned since 2015 by the Sandoz Family Foundation, the hotel has undergone significant renewal - approximately CHF 60 million invested since the 1990s under the stewardship of owner Ute Funke and manager Jean-Jacques Gauer. Enhancements include the creation of the spa, refreshed dining venues, the exclusive Red Club, a high-tech conference center, an underground car park, and renovated rooms - all while carefully preserving its Belle Époque soul.
Today, its elegant 139 rooms and suites - including two Presidential Suites and the iconic Coco Chanel and Samaranch Suites - offer personalized charm. Culinary experiences span classic French at La Table du Lausanne Palace to inventive global menus across its bars and lounges. The spa, stocked with premium brands like Valmont and Cinq Mondes, features pool, sauna, and hammam options designed for rejuvenation.
