Royal Plaza Montreux
Five-star lakefront comfort with spa access included
About this hotel
Royal Plaza Montreux sits directly on the Lake Geneva shorefront, close enough that the panoramic lake and Alps views extend from the public spaces into most private balconies across the elegantly appointed rooms and suites. Free access to the spa area with an indoor pool is included in the standard rate rather than sold as an upgrade, a genuine practical benefit for families who want a rest-day swim between Aquaparc visits without a separate admission cost. The five-star service level extends to the family-suite configurations available here, giving multigenerational groups genuine separation between adult and children's sleeping areas rather than a single oversized room. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout the property, and the lakefront position keeps the train station and central Montreux restaurants within easy reach for evenings after a water park day.
- Lakefront five-star hotel
- Free spa and indoor pool access
- Private balconies
- Alps and lake views
Our take
Royal Plaza suits families who want five-star lakefront comfort with genuine included spa access, and who value private balcony space over budget-hotel savings. Families on a tighter budget who mainly need a bed and a short walk to the station should look at a more modest Montreux property instead, since the five-star pricing here reflects the scale and service level on offer.
- ✓Book a family suite well ahead for peak summer, the multi-room configurations here sell out faster than standard doubles.
- ✓Use the included spa pool on arrival or departure day rather than only during a dedicated rest day mid-trip.
- ✓Request a balcony room specifically if the lake view matters, most but not all rooms include one as standard.

Why guests love itHaving the spa pool included meant our arrival evening, before Aquaparc was even on the schedule, still felt like part of the holiday rather than a travel day to get through. The balcony room let us watch the sunset over the Alps each evening, a genuinely different experience from the courtyard room we had on a previous Swiss trip elsewhere.
