Behind the scenes of the Beau-Rivage Palace hotel in Lausanne

 Last week the editor of  Living in Nyon went behind the scenes of the prestigious Beau-Rivage Palace hotel in Lausanne (member of the leading hotels of the world) on a Léman Events organised visit.  Those who had signed up for this event, were able to go down into the depths of the hotel to see its vast wine cellar - photo below just one small section of the "cave" which houses wines from around the world to cater to all tastes.

Visitors were also shown one of the hotel's bedrooms with view over the lake.

They heard how 10 world presidents had all been in the hotel at the same time and had eaten in the hotel's spectacular ballroom (during the G8 summit which  took place in Evian in France in 2003). Visitors on the tour saw the famous two Michelin star Sophie-Pic restaurant, the hotel's spa and they got the opportunity to ask the hotel's manager a variety of questions on the logistics and challenges of running such a hotel.

This was an interesting event and a full article on it will appear in the Spring 2013 issue of Hello Switzerland magazine. Click here to find out more about this magazine.
