Royal Savoy Hotel & Spa
Grand European palace hotel updated for the modern era. Art Nouveau bones in the historic wing, clean contemporary lines in the new Park Wing. Formal enough for the expense account crowd, warm enough that families and wellness seekers feel equally at home. Royalty has stayed here — literally: the Spanish royal family and the King of Thailand both had extended residences.
The Sky Lounge runs a summer Mediterranean menu and a winter fondue menu — the seasonal shift is worth timing your visit around
Why It Matters
One of Switzerland's most storied Art Nouveau hotels, extensively restored in 2015 and now home to the best rooftop bar in Lausanne, a serious 1,500 sqm spa open to non-guests, and a Michelin-recognized brasserie. Member of Leading Hotels of the World and Virtuoso.
Opened in 1909 and fully restored after a five-year renovation that wrapped up in late 2015, the Royal Savoy is one of three five-star hotels in Lausanne and part of The Bürgenstock Collection. The property splits across two distinct wings: the original Art Nouveau Savoy Wing and the sleek contemporary Park Wing, all set within 5,000 sqm of grounds between Lake Geneva and the city center. The 1,500 sqm spa, rooftop Sky Lounge with 360° views over the Alps and lake, and a Metro stop literally at the door make this one of the most complete luxury addresses in French-speaking Switzerland.
Where You'll Stay
8 room types available
Katara Suite
A rooftop three-bedroom suite at approximately 287 sqm — one of the largest accommodations in the hotel. Panoramic views over Lausanne and Lake Geneva. Named in reference to the Katara Hospitality connection. Separate living spaces, full suite amenities, and the privacy of a standalone rooftop apartment.
King · 287 sqm
Lake View Suite
At 65 sqm, a proper suite with separate living space. Lake Geneva views make this the pick for a milestone occasion without going all the way to the Royal Savoy Suite. Feels like a private pied-à-terre with the full five-star service backdrop.
65 sqmPark View Room with Private Balcony
Located in the contemporary Park Wing rather than the historic building — cleaner, more modern interiors and a private balcony overlooking the garden. Direct access to the spa area. Light-filled and well-suited to guests who prefer contemporary design over Belle Époque character.
Penthouse Suite
The top of the house: 350 sqm of living and bedroom space plus roughly 360 sqm of terrace. Three bedrooms, a private spa (sauna, hammam, jacuzzi, massage room), a private gym, staff kitchen with separate service access, and dining for up to 10 guests. This is effectively a private residence perched above Lausanne with full hotel services on call.
King · 350 sqmRoyal Savoy Suite
The signature suite at 122 sqm on the 4th floor of the historic building, looking out over Lausanne and Lake Geneva. One king bedroom, lounge area, walk-in closet, and a bathroom with double vanity, oversize bathtub, and rain shower. The separate living room doubles as a dining and conference room for up to 10 guests, and there's a kitchenette with a private service entrance — practical touches that set this apart from a standard luxury suite.
King · 122 sqmSavoy Executive Room
The entry-level room in the historic Art Nouveau Savoy Wing. At 25 sqm it's compact but well-executed, with king or twin bed, Art Nouveau architectural details, and city or park views. All the standard kit: air-conditioning, flat-screen TV, safe, mini-bar, Nespresso, marble bathroom, free WiFi.
King or Twin · 25 sqmSavoy Executive Room with Terrace
Same Art Nouveau historic wing as the standard Savoy Executive, but from 28 sqm and with a private terrace — a genuine upgrade. Step outside for a privileged view over the city. The terrace size varies by room but it's a meaningful feature for the price tier.
King or Twin · 28 sqmSavoy Lake View Executive Room
The better rooms in the historic wing, ranging from 28–36 sqm on the upper floors. Lake Geneva comes into view here, which is the main reason to book this over the standard Savoy Executive. Same Art Nouveau character, same marble bathroom and in-room amenities.
