Lausanne Palace

What Lausanne Palace does

Lausanne Palace is a luxury heritage hotel inaugurated in 1915 and located at Rue du Grand-Chêne 7-9 in central Lausanne, Switzerland, overlooking Lake Geneva. The property operates 187 employees and is owned by the Fondation des hôtels Sandoz as part of a portfolio of six Swiss luxury properties (including Beau-Rivage Palace and Hôtel Angleterre). The hotel's core offering comprises rooms and suites with Lake Geneva views, six distinct in-house dining and bar venues (La Table fine dining, La Brasserie du Grand Chêne Parisian brasserie, Le Côté Jardin breakfast/brunch, Matcha Picchu Japanese-Peruvian Nikkei, LP's Bar, and Bar 1915), a full-service spa with sauna, hammam, global-inspired rituals, and a dedicated Head Spa, plus flexible meetings and events spaces.

Revenue is generated through a multi-stream mix: room and suite rentals (direct booking via Synxis and OTAs), F&B covers and beverage sales across six venues, spa treatment bookings, corporate event and private celebration venue rentals, seasonal ticketed events such as Summer Brunch (CHF 110/person) and Swiss National Day 26-canton buffet (CHF 135/person), FIFA World Cup 2026 screenings at LP's Bar, and digital gift vouchers sold via the e-guma platform. GTM motion is direct-to-consumer, augmented by consortium distribution through Leading Hotels of the World, Swiss Deluxe Hotels, and Leaders Club, alongside standard third-party OTAs. Customer segments span luxury leisure travelers, corporate/business clients, and local patrons attending special events and dining.

The underlying technology stack is industry-standard: Synxis for booking, BowoHQ for newsletter capture, e-guma for gift voucher e-commerce, and a multilingual (EN/FR/DE) website CMS. The hotel carries EarthCheck Silver and Swisstainable sustainability certifications and operates within an affiliation-driven marketing structure that emphasizes its 110-plus-year heritage, Olympic capital setting, and curated local experiences such as Lavaux vineyards, the Olympic Museum, and the Plateforme 10 arts district.
