This is my second time visiting The Palace hotel. The staff is hugely attentive from the moment you get in. The rooms are spacious, well kept and for my purposes, an excellent set up for working with a very comfortable desk. The gym was surprisingly spacious and well stocked with free and cardio equipment. Breakfast was excellent but a bit pricey at 45 Francs! Had I been with my family that would’ve been 200 Francs for breakfast!? Stay in and have dinner at the hotel restaurant, Grande Chene. All kinds of seafood, but I had the steak tartar as well. All in all, a lovely property. Try to get a room looking towards the water or don’t spend the extra cash and just get a room in the high floors facing the Cathedral. Beautiful!

A beautiful grand dame of a hotel. It could benefit from an upgrade in the lobby and hallways. We had a junior suite facing the city. Noise from the street and nearby party was quite annoying, so chose a lake view room. The pool and spa were lovely, the kids had a great time! Very friendly staff, and situated in a great location to explore the old town.

Absolutely a beautiful hotel with great service. We enjoyed our balcony facing Lake Geneva and would eat breakfast and relax on it. It’s located in a great area with many wonderful restaurants. The bed was very comfortable and we really liked the air conditioning as other hotels we’ve stayed in Switzerland did not. Overall a A + experience and we’ll be back.

A beautiful hotel, that's in need of rediscovering itself. Aspects of excellent, occasionally let down by old decor in rooms, a bad redesigned lobby with little charm and staff that while excellent appear too busy. Having stayed at the palace for many years, it deserves some much needed attention.

Only a one night stay. Property itself is a classic grand European city centre hotel. Staff excellent in every way - even sorted my squeaky suitcase wheel before I left. Breakfast included and very good. Bed comfortable but pillows not the supportive type I like. Only negative points for me were absence of USB charging points in the room and the fact my first floor room faced the road which was noisy in the morning and woke me up. Choose a lake facing room to avoid this.
