Royal Savoy Hotel & Spa Lausanne

What Royal Savoy Hotel & Spa Lausanne does

Royal Savoy Hotel & Spa Lausanne is a privately operated 5-star luxury hotel established in 1909, located on Avenue d'Ouchy in Lausanne, Switzerland, overlooking Lake Geneva. The 132-employee property is part of the Bürgenstock Collection, managed by Katara Hospitality Switzerland AG, alongside sister properties including Bürgenstock Resort, Hotel Schweizerhof Bern, and The Adria. The legal operating entity is Société Anonyme de l'Hôtel Royal (CHE-101.464.526), a Vaud-registered public limited company.

The hotel operates an integrated hospitality platform comprising five core product lines: Rooms & Suites (lake-view accommodations), Spa du Royal (indoor/outdoor pools, hammam, sauna, jacuzzi, fitness, and treatment rooms with seasonal menus), three distinct dining outlets (La Brasserie du Royal, Sky Rooftop – Cucina Italiana, and Lobby Bar & Japanese Gardens), Meetings & Events (10 flexible spaces including Lausanne's largest ballroom for up to 400 guests), and Weddings & Private Events. Revenue is generated through transactional room bookings, F&B sales, recurring spa memberships, per-event MICE and wedding pricing, and gift voucher sales via e-guma. Distribution combines direct booking (Synxis-powered website, phone, email), luxury consortia (Leading Hotels of the World Leaders Club, Virtuoso), The Fork for restaurant reservations, and dedicated in-house sales teams for events.

The technology stack is conventional hospitality SaaS — Synxis (booking engine), The Fork (restaurant reservations), TAC (spa bookings), e-guma (vouchers), Qualtrics and Revinate (guest feedback/CRM), Google Analytics 4 and Friendly Analytics (web analytics), Microsoft Teams (internal communications), and Friendly Analytics — with no proprietary platform or disclosed AI/ML capabilities. Sustainability credentials (Green Globe 2024, Swisstainable Level 3, LHW Sustainability Leaders 2023) are layered onto the core offering alongside international PR representation in the UK, USA, and Germany.

Brunch events are offered on Sundays. Dining reservations are bookable via The Fork.
