Located on the shores of Lake Geneva, Hotel Angleterre & Résidence is a haven of luxury and tranquility in the heart of Lausanne. Minutes from the charming old town, and with the mountains and the lake at your door, there are plenty of things to see and do.
The hotel itself is the perfect place to relax. Six pavilions, dating from the 18th, 19th, and 21st centuries, sit on the shores of the lake, nestled within landscaped gardens, perfectly blending historic elements with contemporary design. There are just 75 rooms housed in four buildings, each with its own distinct style, offering something for everyone. All rooms are tastefully decorated, creating comfortable and inviting environments, some with balconies and views over the garden and the lake.
Two restaurants serve authentic and delicious dishes. Enjoy traditional Italian at L'Accademia, or head to La Terrasse where comfy armchairs beneath large white parasols are the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of Prosecco or a dish of antipasti and homemade pasta.
There is also an outdoor pool, gym, and spa.
