On the Lausanne waterfront, Château d'Ouchy rises beside Lake Geneva in a neo-Gothic former castle with a distinctive tower and steep red roofs. Contemporary rooms and suites soften the historic shell through pale timber, muted colour and generous windows, several looking towards the lake and Alps. The restaurant, bar and garden terrace occupy the lower floors, while an outdoor pool, sauna and hammam add relaxed facilities close to the promenade. Boats, trees and the small harbour surround the property, with the castle façade reflected in the water immediately beyond its grounds.
