Summer starts here
In Lausanne, summer moves to its own tempo. Terraces begin to fill before noon. The waterfront comes alive. Friends gather from one address to the next. The city moves, breathes and shifts with the rhythm of the day.
At the centre of this energy, Lausanne Palace sets the tone.
An iconic address open to the city, Lausanne Palace brings together travellers, locals, epicureans and curious minds in one flowing rhythm. Guests come to stay, linger over lunch in the sun, meet friends for cocktails, slow down for a few hours at the spa or simply experience Lausanne at its liveliest.
Lausanne, summer edition
Between Lake Geneva, rolling hills and lively neighbourhoods, Lausanne takes on a different energy in summer.
The city feels brighter, freer, more spontaneous. Galleries stay open later. Events flow one into another. Terraces become gathering places. People move down towards the lake, back up through the city centre, from one address to the next without ever breaking stride.
Shopping, culture, sport, festivals, lake swims, waterside escapes and open-air concerts all come together just moments from Lausanne Palace.
The season’s defining moments
Throughout the summer, Lausanne shifts to the rhythm of the major events that bring the city and Lake Geneva to life.
From Athletissima and the Grand Départ of the Tour de France Femmes to evenings along the Montreux Jazz Festival waterfront, energy flows everywhere. Sport, music, culture and lifestyle shape the Olympic Capital from morning through to late at night.
Suites & summer escapes
Lausanne as your starting point
Some rooms overlook the lake. Others open onto the rooftops of the city and the Alps beyond. Yet all share the same feeling: being effortlessly connected to Lausanne.
Designed as true living spaces, the rooms and suites adapt to every kind of stay. A getaway for two, a weekend with friends, a few days between meetings and downtime or an extended urban summer escape.
Lausanne in motion
Summer is lived outdoors, too.
Lausanne Palace sees the city as an elegant and spontaneous playground: lakeside walks, cultural addresses, cafés, sport, shopping and nearby vineyard discoveries.
By electric scooter or on foot, Lausanne unfolds without fixed plans, guided simply by the mood of the moment.
