Hôtel de Chailly
Hillside quiet a short drive from the lake and the slides
Sobre este hotel
Families who base themselves at Hôtel de Chailly trade a lakefront address for hillside quiet above Montreux, a genuine trade-off worth weighing before an Aquaparc trip that already involves travel each day. The family-run restaurant serves three daily lunch dishes built from locally sourced, seasonal ingredients, a welcome change from a rushed water park snack bar once everyone is back and hungry. Seminar and banquet rooms sit alongside the standard guest rooms, a sign this property also serves a business crowd outside peak family season, though the shady terrace and restaurant keep the overall feel relaxed rather than corporate. The Villars-sur-Ollon ski area, a 30-minute drive away, gives a genuine second reason to base here beyond the water park itself, useful for families splitting a longer Swiss trip across two very different kinds of days.
- Hillside setting above Montreux
- Restaurant with seasonal menu
- Shady terrace dining
- 30 minutes from Villars-sur-Ollon
A nossa opinião
Hôtel de Chailly suits families who prioritise a quiet hillside setting and proper seasonal cooking over lakefront proximity, and who do not mind a short drive into Montreux for the train to Aquaparc each day. Families who want to walk everywhere without a car, or who need to be directly on the lakefront for evening strolls, should look at a more central Montreux property instead.
- ✓Book a car rental or confirm your own transport before arrival, the hillside position above Montreux makes a car genuinely useful here.
- ✓Reserve a table for the daily lunch special in advance during busy weeks, the seasonal menu changes and portions can run out.
- ✓Plan the Villars-sur-Ollon side trip for a non-Aquaparc day if travelling in a season when the ski area offers other activities.

Porque os viajantes adoramWe picked Hôtel de Chailly for the quiet after reading how loud the lakefront hotels get in summer, and the shady terrace lunch became our favourite part of the trip, better than anything we found near the water park itself. The 30-minute drive into Montreux for the train each morning added a bit of routine, but the hillside evenings made up for it entirely.
