Hôtel Elite

Lausanne


The same family has run this lovely apricot town house of a hotel for three generations. A couple of sunloungers and tables dot the pretty handkerchief-sized garden, and inside at reception it’s all fresh flower arrangements and soft background music. Rooms on the 4th floor look out to the lake and the best have a balcony, too.
