Lengths at 28°C
The indoor pool is 24 metres long and heated to 28°C, with a 34°C hot tub, a steam room and a sauna; for hotel guests it opens from 6.30am to 10pm.12
Hôtel des Trois Couronnes
Since 1842 the Trois Couronnes façade has looked out over Lake Geneva from the Vevey waterfront. I would book a Junior Suite Lake, south-facing with a sitting area, and keep an hour for the 24-metre indoor pool.
I would go to the Trois Couronnes for the lake and the bar: the Bar Anglais looks over Lake Geneva from 11am to 11pm, and in early December 2026 a night for 2 starts at CHF 316. If you want a design hotel, a newer address will suit you better.

The Junior Suite Lake
I would ask for a Junior Suite Lake: 40–50 m² facing south, with a sitting area and usually a balcony over the lake and the Alps. If you can do without a balcony, the top-floor Superior Lake Room has the same area.
Autumn nights
From 11 to 15 November 2026 a night for 2 costs CHF 319, each taken alone, and from 16 to 18 December it stays between CHF 316 and CHF 318. On 31 December 2026 a night reaches CHF 563.
What comes on top
Outdoor parking costs CHF 35 a night and a dog CHF 30. Tourist tax adds just over CHF 6 a day from age 16, and breakfast, when the rate leaves it out, CHF 42 per person.
Chasselas in the room
A welcome in the room is ordered before arrival: a half-bottle of Chasselas costs CHF 32, and a personalised cake starts at CHF 30. I would ask the reservations team a few days ahead.

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them
What do Trois Couronnes’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.
Location
Nearly every guest who mentions it is happy with it. Guests write about the lake and the Alps outside the windows and about exploring Vevey on foot.
Room
9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests like the spacious rooms and the lake view, sometimes with a large terrace; some find the style dated.
Staff and service
8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Staff come across as attentive and friendly, dogs included; some guests describe a cool welcome and waits in the restaurant.
Breakfast
8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Breakfast wins guests over with its choice, and some call it the best moment of the stay.
Price
Those who mention the bill find it high for the welcome and the restaurant; those who praise it cite the rooms and the spa.

500 guests said so on Google, from 3 April 2015 to 17 October 2026. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Vevey and on the Lake Geneva Riviera: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 20 October 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.
The hotels we weigh it against in Vevey and on the Lake Geneva Riviera:
Price: for 2, the night of 22 December 2026, from 315 CHF on Google Hotels on 20 October 2026.
What a night costs, period by period
I would choose November or the first half of December, when a night for 2 starts at CHF 316. From 1 to 17 July 2027, by contrast, a night runs from CHF 706 to CHF 1,075.
| Period | CHF a night |
|---|---|
| 20 Oct–28 Dec 2026 | 315–564 |
| 29 Dec 2026–13 Apr 2027 | 438–563 |
| 14 Apr–30 Jun 2027 | 522–1,181 |
| 1–17 Jul 2027 | 706–1,075 |
| 18 Jul–13 Sep 2027 | 544–597 |
Each figure is the lowest price for 2 adults of one night taken alone, whatever the room. The calendar runs to 13 September 2027.

Before booking
What kind of hotel is the Trois Couronnes?
A 5-star hotel classified by HotellerieSuisse, opened in 1842: the third oldest palace in Switzerland. It has 71 rooms, including 16 Executive Suites and 9 Junior Suites, and half of them face south over the lake and the Alps.123

Google Hotels, read on 20 October 2026 for 2 adults, shows CHF 318 on 14 December 2026, CHF 471 on 12 January 2027 and CHF 597 on 14 August 2027; 31 December 2026 costs CHF 563.1
What are the rooms and suites like?
The categories on sale all face the lake: from the 30–40 m² Deluxe Lake View to the 155 m² Tchaikovsky Imperial Suite with a 90 m² terrace. The Superior Lake Room, on the top floor, is larger than the Deluxe but has no balcony. I would take a Junior Suite Lake, 40–50 m² with a sitting area. The style is classic throughout.12345
Where would I have dinner and a drink?
Le 3C is the brasserie, open daily from noon to 2pm and 7pm to 10pm; Kaiseki by Manabu serves Japanese kaiseki from Tuesday evening to Saturday. The Bar Anglais is open daily from 11am to 11pm, with house cocktails, a Lavaux Chasselas and a short menu from noon to 10pm. On Sundays there is the Late Breakfast at CHF 69.123
Is breakfast included?
It depends on the rate. The buffet is served from 7am to 10am in the restaurant and in the room until 11am; without it in the rate it costs CHF 42 from age 12, CHF 25 for ages 8 to 11, and children up to 7 eat free.1
What is the spa like?
The Puressens spa has the 24-metre indoor pool at 28°C, a 34°C hot tub, a steam room, a sauna and a gym with a terrace on the lake. Treatments use Oskia London and run daily from 9am to 6pm.12

What do guests say?
On Google, 188 of the 193 guests who mention the location speak well of it, and 117 of the 135 who mention their room praise it. They are cooler about the bill: 21 of the 33 who talk about it find it high.1
Is there parking?
Yes: outdoors, at CHF 35 a night subject to space, with a valet. Electric charging costs CHF 15 up to half a charge and CHF 30 beyond.12
Where is it, and is it quiet?
On the Vevey waterfront at Rue d’Italie 49, 5 minutes on foot from the old town and 10 from the station; Montreux is 6.5 km away and Geneva Airport 88 km. For a quiet night I would ask for the upper floors on the lake, such as the top-floor Superior Lake Room.123
Is it open all year?
Yes: nights are on sale in every month from October 2026 to September 2027, and the bar is open all year.12
What else is there?
The Puressens spa with its gym and classes, 7 function rooms, some with a lake terrace, room service, laundry and a multilingual concierge. A limousine transfer from Geneva starts at CHF 350 for 2.12

Yes: for New Year’s Eve 2025 the dinner cost CHF 350 per person with a welcome aperitif, a piano and voice duo and a photobooth; wine pairing added CHF 105, and the children’s menu up to age 11 cost CHF 80.1
Are there special offers?
Yes: 4 nights for the price of 3, 5 for 4 and 7 for 5; Hotel Credit with CHF 100 per room to spend in the hotel; Pure Relax for the spa and Birthday for a celebration for 2.1
Which room would I choose with children?
With one child a room is enough: rooms take up to 3 guests, with CHF 90 a night for the extra bed from 12 to 16. With 2 children I would take a Belle Epoque Lake Suite, 60–80 m² with a separate living room and bedroom.123
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, dogs, at CHF 30 a night; the hotel provides a mattress, bowls and a few treats.1
What are check-in and check-out times?
Check-in is from 4pm and check-out by noon.1
Still choosing?
Grand Hôtel du Lac
The 1868 Belle Époque façade looks straight out over Lake Geneva from the Vevey quay. I would book a lake-view Deluxe with a balcony facing the French Alps, and keep one evening for Emotions.
Hôtel d’Angleterre
At the d’Angleterre I would choose the Bellevue Suite: 70 m² with a balcony on the lake, and the Jet d’Eau in the doorway. There are 45 rooms on the Quai du Mont-Blanc, and the Leopard Bar has live music 6 nights a week.
Hôtel Les Armures
Les Armures is a 17th-century house one minute from St Peter’s Cathedral. Its 32 rooms share the house with Geneva’s oldest café, where the evening means a moitié-moitié fondue.
Hôtel de la Cigogne
At La Cigogne, on Place Longemalle, the lounge fire is lit on winter evenings beneath murals of the city. Its 49 rooms are all different, a short walk from the lake and the Old Town.
Beau-Rivage Genève
At the Beau-Rivage I would choose the Junior Suite Lake View Panorama: 45 m² facing the Jet d’Eau, with balconies. There are 95 rooms and suites on the Quai du Mont-Blanc, and the same family has run the house since 1865.
The Dolder Grand
Curhaus towers above Zurich, art in the corridors and warm water facing the city.
Lausanne Palace
Lausanne climbs behind the palace; from the right rooms, the lake appears beyond the rooftops.
