Château d'Ouchy, an SLH Hotel

We had 3 amazing nights at this gorgeous hotel in a deluxe Lakeview room. Waking up to the ever changing vista in front of us was a wonderful experience. Our room was spacious and luxurious with every comfort provided. It is in the perfect location to explore Ouchy and the Lausanne area with the tram stop across the road. Dinner at the 57 grill was a highlight and we also enjoyed relaxing in the sauna and hammam. It was over all too soon.

Fabulous location at the lake, very welcoming and professional staff. Good size of the hotel, we stayed in a Jr Suite in the Tower which was spacious and very tastefully decorated. Excellent bedding and towels. It is a unique place and we absolutely loved our stay.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at Chateau d’Ouchy. The location was perfect and we had incredible views of Lake Geneva from the restaurant each morning during breakfast. Josa was so wonderful at the restaurant each morning and was so sweet and attentive with our daughter. We also received transport cards that made getting around the city a breeze via metro. The breakfast was delicious and had a great variety of hot and cold options, as well as a coffee machine, tea, and fresh pressed juices. We had a junior suite that exceeded our expectations. It was very spacious and well maintained. We loved our stay and will be recommending to our family and friends!

A five-star hotel in service and staff. I can't but staff name as all hotel employees very friendly, helpful l, attentive, and professional. |Have a nice location next to the metro station, lake, port, and restaurants. |This hotel is small in size but have all the major amenities required. Modernized with noce spa and car parking.

Beautiful accommodations and wonderful breakfasts! Staff is very friendly. Close driving distance to many activities. Great views of Lake Geneva, especially at breakfast, and delicious vin chaud at the bar. I would definitely stay here again.

The hotel is in prime location, right on the edge of Lake Geneva, 1 min walk from the metro which is very easy to navigate. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the hotel itself was amazing. Lovely decor, and our room was lovely and spacious, very comfortable bedding, very clean etc. Would definitely recommend.

This is a wonderful hotel on the lake at Lausanne. Beautiful rooms which are very comfortable and clean. It has a great position right on the lake and there are views all round. Lovely breakfast. Very friendly staff. We hope to come back !

Absolutely beautiful hotel, in a great location with wonderful service. SLH recently joined with Hilton, so, as diamond members, we were upgraded to a beautiful suite. The room was sparkling clean and all the furnishings and amenities were high quality. We enjoyed our stay tremendously and can't wait to return. We also had a delicious dinner with a beautiful view of the lake.

In 1991 I stayed here for 9 days and ate dinner in the Terrace restaurant at the time.I ordered Quenelle de Brochet Nantua and a glass of good Swiss white wine. Enjoyed every bite of deliciousness. So now it's 2017 and I finally managed to get back there to hopefully repeat a great culinary experience. Alas, not to be. My wife had overpriced braised beef cheeks that you could get in the states called pot roast for $5-8.00 and just as good? But the Quenelle de Brochet was awful ! First the dumplings were freezer burned and all dried out,they developed a tough skin on top and were pretty disgusting. Then the chef? For what ever reason decided to put watery lobster/ shrimp broth over them to bake and puff. Too bad because the broth in itself had excellent flavor, but you have to thicken and cream this sauce so it adheres to the mousse.This chef's version is a $38 chf Disaster.I'm very disappointed and recommend sending the Chef back to cooking school.

Beautiful hotel over the lake in Lausanne. Large rooms with beautiful mountain and water views. Great service and delicious room service.Minus one star for the lack of on-site gym: guests have to walk a (short) walk to a nearby hotel that has a tiny, old basement gym too. Could use some upgrade on that level.

Great atmosphere, great drinks, great location. Can't go wrong here. The bartenders even speak English and don't look at you funny if you don't speak French to them. Great experience overall.

We chose a lake view room and were not disappointed; I had a hard time peeling myself away from the window to go to sleep. Be sure to bring a white noise machine as the noise from the lakefront can be significant at times, although it did seem to die down at a reasonable hour. I absolutely love Lausanne, and this hotel made the stay even more fantastic, if that's possible. We had originally booked a two night stay at a different hotel; one that I had stayed at 10 years ago. Sadly, the other hotel was quite awful. At midnight I began searching for another hotel and decided to try the chateau d'ouchy. We arrived at the hotel quite early (11:30 am), expecting to leave our luggage and come back later to check in. But, to our surprise the room was ready and we were allowed to check in early. I can't express how wonderful that was. My husband and I barely sleepy the prior night; we were tired and didn't feel too well, so it was a huge relief to be able to settle in our room (amazing by the way) and relax for a bit. The only slightly negative thing I could say about our stay relates to the impersonal demeanor of the staff. I am not someone that expects staff to fall all over me; quite the opposite. But, I do appreciate a genuine smile and warm attitude, which is not the case with this hotel. Definitely not a deal breaker, just something to be aware of so you can temper your expectations accordingly.

Great place to celebrate your birthday with my awesome friend Genevieve. Fantastic food and ambiance

Chateau D'Ouchy is located on the waterfront in Lausanne. I have walked by this hotel many times and have always wished to stay there. It was once a castle, but has since been renovated and turned into a hotel. There is one tower that was left untouched and is now a historical landmark. I have often seen this hotel come up on Internet travel sites with last minute deal bookings for 50% off. I recently saw such a deal and booked it for a night when our friends came to visit from out of town. It ended up being a fantastic deal because for guests who stay at the hotel you receive a transport card that you can use on all modes of transport within the transport zones surrounding Lausanne, also you receive free access to the Lausanne Palace Wellness Spa (see separate review regarding the spa facilities), and free WIFI. It is great to walk within the hotel and see how they blended the old characteristics of the castle with modern touches. The rooms are beautiful, clean, spacious and open. The toiletries provided in the rooms are high quality. The staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel itself has a small spa area with separate times for women and men, an outdoor pool, and a fantastic terrace to sip a coffee when it is nice out. Every night at 6pm they have live music in the lobby area with drinks. The breakfast is not included in the price of the room, but was worth the extra 30 CHF. It is a buffet style, but with high quality tasty food to select from. The dining area is in a sunny open lit area and very enjoyable. Be sure to check out the great wooden staircase.

Beautiful atmosphere and location. The wine, service, and food were all delicious, but didn't wow us on every dish, thus not quite 5 stars. It was a nice splurge in lovely Lausanne on Lac Léman.

At $550 a night in a very nice tower junior suite you expect (demand) more willing service. Turn down service, better than a bath tub shower and a table in the restaurant held for your optional use. Excellent location
