Insider tip
Royal Savoy Lausanne is at Avenue d'Ouchy 40 in Lausanne, Switzerland. The hotel sits between the city center and the Ouchy lakeside area, with easy access to Lake Geneva, museums, restaurants, and transport.
Free membership gives you access to preferred rates, exclusive benefits and current promotions for your stay.
Royal Savoy Lausanne stands between the city center and Lake Geneva, in the Ouchy district where Lausanne begins to slope toward the water. The hotel has the presence of a historic Swiss address, but the stay feels current, bright, and easy to use. Its restored facade, modern wing, garden terraces, rooftop, spa, and restaurants create a complete city hotel with a clear lakeside rhythm. Guests can walk toward the waterfront, reach the train station quickly, or move uphill into Lausanne's cultural center, then return to a quieter setting on Avenue d'Ouchy.
The location is one of the hotel's strongest qualities. Lausanne is a city of levels, so a well-placed base changes the whole stay. Royal Savoy Lausanne sits close to the lake without losing access to the upper city. The Olympic Museum, Ouchy promenade, marina, metro, shops, and restaurants are within easy reach. Lake Geneva, the Alps, and the Lavaux vineyards give the wider region a scenic scale that shapes the atmosphere of the hotel.

The Royal Savoy has been part of Lausanne's hotel landscape for generations. Its historic building brings Belle Epoque character, while the newer wing gives the property a contemporary rhythm. The contrast works because the hotel does not treat heritage as decoration alone. The exterior has ceremony, but the interiors are polished, practical, and calm. Public spaces feel refined without becoming heavy.
The garden also changes the mood. Lausanne can feel busy around the station, the lakefront, and the main roads, yet the hotel has corners where the pace slows. Terraces, planted areas, and quieter seating spaces create a soft break from the city. The building has enough scale for events and business travel, but it still feels personal because the rooms, spa, bar, and dining areas each have their own identity.
Royal Savoy Lausanne belongs to a city with many layers: Olympic history, university life, museums, lake excursions, train connections, and vineyard landscapes. The hotel reflects that range. It is formal enough for an important trip, relaxed enough for a weekend, and well placed for guests who want to move between work, wellness, and the lake.
The hotel has 196 rooms and suites across the historic Savoy Wing and the contemporary Park Wing. This gives guests two connected styles. The historic side keeps a more classic atmosphere, while the Park Wing feels fresher and more modern. Some rooms have balconies or lake views, while others look toward the city, garden, or surrounding rooftops.
The design favors comfort, clarity, and a polished Swiss mood. Rooms are bright, well finished, and made for both short stays and longer visits. Desks, seating, strong bathrooms, and calm colors make them practical without feeling plain. The best rooms use the lake, city, or garden views to give the stay a stronger sense of place.
Suites add more space and a more residential feeling. They work well for families, business travelers, or guests using Lausanne as a base for the wider region. The room experience is strongest because it is tied to the hotel's location. A day can begin with breakfast, continue with a lake walk or meetings, and end with a spa session or rooftop drink without complicated transfers.
Spa du Royal is one of the defining parts of the hotel. It gives Royal Savoy Lausanne a resort-like dimension within the city. The spa includes treatment rooms, relaxation areas, a fitness space, hammam, sauna, indoor and outdoor pool areas, and beauty facilities. The atmosphere is serene, with enough scale to make wellness a real part of the stay rather than a small add-on.
The spa works especially well in Lausanne because days in the city can involve hills, museum visits, meetings, trains, and lakeside walks. Returning to a proper wellness area changes the pace. Guests can swim, use the thermal areas, book a treatment, or simply take a quiet hour before dinner. The hotel becomes more than a place to sleep; it becomes a place to reset.
The wellness spaces also suit the Swiss setting. They are calm, precise, and cleanly designed, with a focus on comfort rather than spectacle. That restraint makes the experience feel grown-up and useful. It is easy to imagine a winter stay shaped by the spa, or a summer stay that moves between Lake Geneva, the garden, and the pool.
Brasserie du Royal is the hotel's main restaurant and gives the property a lively dining core. The room has a classic brasserie spirit, with seasonal cooking and a polished but welcoming tone. It is useful for many kinds of stay: a business dinner, a relaxed meal after the lake, or a more generous evening without leaving the hotel.
The brasserie fits Lausanne well. The city has a strong food culture shaped by French-speaking Switzerland, the lake, nearby farms, and the Lavaux wine region. Royal Savoy's dining does not need to be theatrical to feel rooted. The strength is in good ingredients, service, and a room that can handle both local guests and travelers.
The Lounge Bar and Cigare Lounge add quieter indoor moments. They work for coffee, a drink before dinner, or a slower end to the day. These spaces matter because the hotel is not only a bedroom address. It has a social life of its own, with enough variety to keep guests on property when they want an easier evening.
The Sky Lounge is the hotel's most panoramic space. It brings rooftop views across Lausanne and Lake Geneva, with the mountains beyond when the weather is clear. The city is built for views, and the rooftop turns that geography into a simple pleasure. It is a strong place for a sunset drink, a light meal, or a warm-weather evening above the rooftops.
Terraces are important throughout the hotel. Some are intimate and green, while the rooftop is broader and more dramatic. In summer, they bring the stay outdoors without needing to leave the property. In cooler months, the indoor lounges and spa take over the rhythm. This seasonal flexibility is one of the reasons Royal Savoy Lausanne works for both leisure and business travel.
Meetings and events are also part of the hotel's identity. Its restored spaces, central location, garden access, and room count make it practical for conferences, private dinners, celebrations, and corporate stays. Yet the property avoids feeling like a purely business hotel because the lake, rooftop, spa, and dining keep the atmosphere layered.
Royal Savoy Lausanne is a strong base for exploring the Lake Geneva region. The Olympic Museum and Ouchy waterfront are nearby. Lausanne's old town, cathedral, Plateforme 10 arts district, shops, and restaurants are easy to reach by metro or taxi. The train station connects guests to Geneva, Vevey, Montreux, Bern, and beyond.
Lavaux is one of the great reasons to spend time here. The terraced vineyards above Lake Geneva create one of Switzerland's most beautiful cultural landscapes, with villages, wine cellars, walking paths, and lake views. From the hotel, guests can make a day around wine, trains, boats, and small lakeside towns, then return to Lausanne for dinner or the spa.
Royal Savoy Lausanne is best for travelers who want a historic five-star hotel with modern comfort, strong wellness, good dining, and easy access to both city and lake. It has more scale than a small boutique property, but that scale brings useful depth: 196 rooms and suites, a serious spa, a brasserie, rooftop views, bars, terraces, and event spaces. The hotel feels complete, polished, and rooted in Lausanne's lake-facing character.
Opened in 1909 and always well maintained, the Hotel Royal Savoy is located close Lake Geneva and the alps.
