About this property

It is located opposite Lausanne's Main Train Station, a 10-minute walk from the Old Town and the shopping area. It offers air-conditioned rooms and free WiFi. The non-smoking rooms feature a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a minibar and a bathroom. A rich buffet breakfast is served every day. Guests enjoy free access to the newly opened 1200 m2 fitness centre located in the building. The Le Pain Quotidien bakery and restaurant in the building serves fresh bread and organic dishes. The M2 metro line is available directly next to the hotel. Evian can be reached in 30 minutes by boat. Vevey and Montreux are just half an hour away by train. The ski resorts such as Les Diablerets and Verbier can be reached within 60 minutes by car.
