Hotel Parc & Lac
Twenty metres from the lake, five from the station
About this hotel
Hotel Parc & Lac's position, 20 metres from Lake Geneva and a 5-minute walk from Montreux train station, makes it about as convenient a base as this trip gets for families relying on public transport to reach Aquaparc. The short walk to the station matters more than it sounds after a tiring water park day, when nobody wants to drag wet bags any further than necessary. Not all rooms have a balcony here, so guests who want one need to flag it directly when booking rather than assuming it comes as standard, a detail worth confirming before arrival to avoid disappointment. The Congress Centre sits equally close, useful context for families whose trip overlaps with a Montreux event or festival week. Free Wi-Fi throughout the property rounds out a stay built around practical, walkable convenience rather than resort-style amenities.
- 20m from the lakeshore
- 5 minutes to the station
- Near the Congress Centre
- Central Montreux position
Our take
Hotel Parc & Lac suits families who want the shortest possible walk between train, lake, and hotel door, and who are comfortable requesting specific room features rather than assuming they come standard. Families set on a guaranteed balcony without extra confirmation steps might prefer a hotel where every room includes one by default.
- ✓Request a balcony room specifically when booking, not every room at this hotel includes one as standard, so ask directly.
- ✓Use the 5-minute walk to the station to your advantage for an early Aquaparc departure, this is one of the closest options.
- ✓Confirm your room configuration for family size before travelling, standard rooms here are not automatically set up as suites.

Why guests love itTwenty metres really did mean twenty metres, we could see the water from the front steps, and the five-minute walk to the station made our Aquaparc mornings far less stressful than a previous trip where the hotel was further out. We had to ask twice about a balcony room, worth knowing before you book, but once confirmed the view over the lake made every breakfast feel like a small occasion in itself.
