Experience Unmatched Elegance at Hotel des Trois Couronnes: A Timeless Retreat on Lake Geneva

Located in the heart of Vevey, Switzerland, on the serene shores of Lake Geneva, the Hotel des Trois Couronnes offers an idyllic escape that combines luxury, history, and natural beauty. The stunning views of Lake Geneva and the majestic Alps provide a captivating backdrop, while impeccable service and an exceptional gastronomic experience make it the perfect destination for those in search of relaxation.

A Rich Legacy, Modern Luxury


The Hôtel des Trois Couronnes has a fascinating history that dates back to 1842, when it was established on the site of the ancient "Belles Truches"

 castle, originally built in 1376. Renowned for its royal connections, the hotel was once frequented by crowned heads, including Queen Olga of Greece, the Maharajah Holkar of Indore, and King William III of the Netherlands, whose visits solidified the hotel’s prestigious reputation. The hotel's name, which translates to "Three Crowns," hails from the earlier inn of the same name owned by the Monnet family.



Over the years, the hotel has undergone several transformations, preserving its cultural heritage while continuously evolving to meet the needs of the modern traveler. Today, the hotel is registered as a cultural landmark and is renowned as a Swiss historical hotel, offering guests a harmonious blend of past and present.
