Opened in 1915, right in the middle of a world at war, it still dared to dream big, becoming the last true palace built in Switzerland. From dancing soirées to political meetings, it’s always been a gathering place for creatives, visionaries, and leaders.

Lausanne Palace

Coco Chanel once called this place home, and her suite still exists on the 5th floor, her lucky number. Even presidents of the International Olympic Committee chose to live here. You feel it the moment you walk in, as this place doesn’t just host people, it holds history. It’s more than a hotel. It’s a living legend in the heart of Lausanne.
