The Palace is still the best hotel in the world.
However, we felt that because of Covid, the restaurant was not staffed as normal.

Great hotel with very good service unfortunately they put us in a small room next to the kitchen exhaust and we smelled the kitchen our entire stay. When you book here make sure you do not get room 604!

It really is a Palace
From the moment you arrive you are surrounded by professional personnel. Friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Fantastic restaurant and terrace where the hectic of the outside world is forgotten. The variety of food is particularly note able. An Indian chef who would give some of the best known chefs in London a good run for their money. It's a Palace and as a guest you know it is. A great place to pamper yourself for a weekend and longer.
Séjour très agréable, en famille, dans un lieu exceptionnel, élégant, reposant. Confort absolu de la chambre, personnel globalement de qualité (très variable cependant au niveau des restaurants). Dommage qu'il ne nous ait pas été précisé au début que nous avions droit à un crédit repas journalier. Le spa est par ailleurs très esthétique, magnifique décoration!

Un Palace paradisiaque !
Accueil, gentillesse, services, tout était parfait! Nous étions hors vacances dans cet hôtel et je pense que c'est un avantage pour être mieux servis. Nous avons été surclassé aussi. Un endroit idyllique, que nous conseillons à Gstaad.
