Grand Hotel Suisse Majestic, Autograph Collection
Belle-Epoque grandeur across from the train station
About this hotel
Grand Hôtel Suisse Majestic occupies a genuinely central position on the shore of Lake Geneva, right across from Montreux train station, making it about as convenient a base as exists for families running the daily Aquaparc commute. Built in 1870 by the architect Eugène Jost and recently renovated, the Belle-Epoque building pairs historic grandeur with modern comfort rather than choosing one over the other, air-conditioned rooms sit inside a building with genuine period character throughout its public spaces. The restaurant's lake-view terrace gives dinner a proper occasion feel most evenings, useful for a family holiday that otherwise revolves around water park logistics. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout the property, and the direct proximity to the station means the trip to Aquaparc starts within a couple of minutes of checking out each morning rather than a longer walk or taxi ride first.

- Directly across from the station
- Lake-view terrace restaurant
- Recently renovated rooms
Our take
Grand Hôtel Suisse Majestic suits families who want genuine Belle-Epoque grandeur combined with unbeatable proximity to the train station for daily Aquaparc trips. Families on a tighter budget, or those who prefer a quieter setting away from the busiest part of central Montreux, might find a different property a better fit.
- ✓Book a lake-view terrace table for dinner at least once, the restaurant setting is a genuine highlight of staying here.
- ✓Use the direct station proximity to minimise morning transit time before an early Aquaparc departure most days of the trip.
- ✓Request an air-conditioned room specifically in high summer, the historic building benefits from confirming this feature at booking.

Why guests love itBeing directly across from the station meant our Aquaparc mornings started calmly rather than rushed, a genuine difference from a previous trip where we stayed further out. The lake-view terrace dinner on our second night felt like a proper occasion, a nice break from the practical rhythm of a water park holiday, and the air-conditioned room made a real difference during the hottest part of our stay in Montreux.
