Fairmont Le Montreux Palace

This historic 5-star hotel from the Belle Époque has 236 rooms and is situated right on the shore of Lake Geneva. Built in 1906, it is a member of the “Leading Hotels of the World”. This is not only one of the most renowned hotels in the region, but in all of Switzerland. It has also gained fame in connection with the Montreux Jazz Festival, with countless international artists being regulars of the hotel. It is home to the legendary Funky Claude’s Bar, named after the founder of the Montreux Jazz Festival, Claude Nobs. The hotel offers several restaurants, event rooms with a ballroom, and an exclusive 2,000 m² spa area.

This contract included the renovation of 35 rooms, 5 suites and the L’Atelier, as well as replacing the carpets in the Grand Hall. VOGLAUER HOTEL CONCEPT was hired as general contractor for the completion of the interior. Challenges included the different floor plans related to the pre-World War II construction, as well as the stucco ceilings in the suites. The completion of the project had to be done while the hotel was operating with a minimum level of noise. The time frame was extremely tight due to the upcoming jazz festival, but the deadline was met with complete reliability.
