Mussolini and Poincare here not only rested, but also engaged in politics. (in particular, в 1912 году подписывали Лозаннский договор, положивший конец войне между Италией и Турцией). Так и пошло: одно памятное событие за другим. Beau-Rivage что ни год, то получает по награде; становился, и не один раз, отелем года и лучшим отелем Швейцарии (по данным признанных travel-гидов, например престижного Travel&Leisure).

The hotel is over 150 years old. In 1861, with the suggestion of French architects, a building appeared in the spirit Napoleon III Style, magnificent and solemn. In 1908, the so-called palace wing was added - a bizarre mixture of neo-baroque and emerging ar-nouvo. In 1999, the hotel was reconstructed (assisted by specialists from the Swiss Bureau for the Protection of Monuments of Culture). Thanks to the efforts of the famous Italian designer Maurizio Papiri, who worked on the villas of Madonna and Sylvester Stallone, a variety of rooms appeared in a variety of styles: from verified classics with antiques to functionalism with Le Corbusier furniture.

The hotel’s main restaurant, La Rotonde, is currently being updated. In the spring of 2009, the premiere will be held here: the famous Anne-Sophie Pic, the only woman who can boast of three Michelin stars, will be the chef. Grab a snack in the brasserie Cafe Beau-Rivage, perhaps the most popular institution in Lausanne. The English Bar has a fine selection of cigars and brandies. The hotel has its own wine cellar (over 600 Grand Cru wines).

Since 2005, the hotel has a unique SPA center - Spa Cinq Mondes. The first such center appeared in Paris and is now considered the most modern in the French capital. Spa Cinq Mondes in Beau-Rivage - the conceptual center. The concept (received more than one award) is as follows: the methods of five regions known for their cosmetological and therapeutic traditions are used and mixed - Japan, China, India, Bali and North Africa (Morocco, etc.). The SPA-center has its own cosmetic line. By the way, he is recognized as one of the 10 most luxurious in the world according to Forbes lists.
