Tralala Hotel Montreux
Old Town music theming, five hundred metres from the lake
About this hotel
Tralala Hotel Montreux leans fully into the town's music heritage, with each room dedicated to a different artist who contributed to Montreux's reputation as a city of music, a genuinely distinctive touch compared with a standard hotel room layout. The Old Town position sits 500 metres from both the lake and the train station, close enough to keep the daily Aquaparc commute simple while still offering a slightly different neighbourhood feel from the busier lakefront strip. Many rooms offer a lake view despite the short distance from the water, and flat-screen TVs feature throughout for a quiet evening in after a full day of slides. The Tralala bar downstairs gives an on-site evening option with the same music-themed character carried through from the rooms, useful for parents wanting a drink without arranging a babysitter or venturing further into town.

Our take
Tralala Hotel suits families who appreciate genuine music theming and Old Town character, five hundred metres from the lake with an easy walk to the station for Aquaparc days. Families wanting a completely neutral, minimalist room aesthetic without a specific theme might prefer a different Montreux property instead, since the artist theming runs through every room here.
- ✓Ask about the artist theme for available rooms when booking, each one is genuinely different rather than a superficial label.
- ✓Use the Old Town position to explore a slightly different neighbourhood feel from the busier lakefront strip on a rest day.
- ✓Try the Tralala bar downstairs for an evening drink without arranging childcare or venturing further from the hotel.

Why guests love itOur kids loved trying to guess which artist their room was dedicated to before we told them, a small touch that made the hotel stay itself feel like part of the holiday rather than just a place to sleep between Aquaparc days. Five hundred metres from the lake was close enough to walk easily, and the Old Town setting felt like a genuine change of pace from the busier lakefront hotels.
