Choosing the right arrival point for your journey to Montreux depends largely on your balance between flight connectivity, budget, and travel time. None of the listed airports are located within Montreux; all are in neighboring cities. EuroAirport Swiss Basel Mulhouse Freiburg (BSL) and EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg (MLH) function as the primary gateways for travelers coming from Northern Europe, offering efficient, albeit multi-hour, rail connections to the Swiss Riviera. For those arriving from Italy, Milan Malpensa Airport (MXP) and Turin Caselle Airport (TRN) provide access via the trans-Alpine routes. These are ideal for visitors combining an Italian excursion with their Swiss stay, though they require longer, scenic transit times. Grenoble Airport (GNB) is typically chosen by travelers focusing on French ski destinations who wish to add a stopover in Switzerland. Travelers should prioritize the Swiss rail network for consistency, while budget-conscious visitors often find value in regional coach services. Always verify seasonal train schedules when crossing borders, as some mountain routes may fluctuate.

Great location with a bus stop just a minute’s walk away, which makes getting around very convenient. You can tell the hotel is a bit old, but it’s still well maintained. The staff were very nice and friendly, which made the stay more pleasant. Overall, it’s a good place to stay, especially for the location and service.FromUS$188

Location: Great lakeside location with beautiful lake views from the higher floor rooms.
Facilities: Well-equipped facilities.
Cleanliness: The cleanliness was poor; there were even spiderwebs on the balcony.
Service: The female staff I encountered were generally very good, enthusiastic, and attentive. However, two middle-aged male staff members (I forgot to ask their names) were overly 'sharp' in their service. They kept aggressively pushing the hotel's paid parking and refused to provide details about the public parking lot next door. It only took a young female staff member a couple of sentences to explain it clearly.FromUS$199

This has been the most satisfying hotel of my trip to Switzerland so far. Check-in, check-out, and breakfast were all handled at the Royal Plaza Hotel across the street. We arrived early, and the front desk immediately processed our check-in, saving us from waiting until 3 PM. We were given two rooms with excellent locations and orientations, practically the best rooms available, both with air conditioning, and one even had a balcony. I'd like to thank Trip.com for communicating with the hotel on our behalf. Based on our request, the hotel arranged air-conditioned rooms for us, which was a lifesaver as it's been scorching hot in Switzerland these past few days.
The hotel itself is quite historic, having once hosted Mr. Charlie Chaplin. Despite its age, it doesn't feel old-fashioned at all. The rooms are clean, tidy, comfortable, and spacious. The Royal Plaza Hotel is a star-rated establishment situated by the lake, offering beautiful scenery. The hotel's pool and gym are available for free use.
The only minor drawback was the limited breakfast selection. It was a simple Western breakfast, lacking items like vegetable salad, eggs, and pasta. However, the dried sliced bread and capsule coffee were quite good and stood out.
The hotel entrance is right next to a bus stop, making it very convenient to get to the train station in just a few minutes, or about a fifteen-minute walk. To visit Chillon Castle, you also take the bus towards the train station; just hop on bus 201 from the hotel entrance, and it's only a few stops past the train station. Very convenient! I've included photos with bus stop and schedule information for reference.
If I ever have the chance to visit Montreux again later in life, I will definitely stay at this hotel.FromUS$128

The hotel front desk also thoughtfully provided complimentary bus tickets, which was a very nice touch. It made things especially convenient for first-time visitors, as it saved the hassle of purchasing tickets and made it easier to explore the surrounding area.
In addition, the city tax is 25 Swiss francs, which does not need to be paid at check-in; it can simply be settled upon check-out. Overall, these details reflect the hotel’s attentive and considerate service.FromUS$137

Location is about 15 minutes walk on the hill, but if you take the bus, you will arrive in front of the hotel in 4 minutes. We ended up walking because the train arrival time was past the last time of the bus 😭
The service was also very polite, and we were able to flexibly respond to the storage of food in the refrigerator and the lending of umbrellas.
The hotel also managed a bar, but we missed it, so I would like to be able to use it next time.FromUS$127

Excellent location, about 9 minutes’ walk from the train station and 1 minute’ walk from the casino where Freddie Mercury’s music studio is. There’s food options and migros near the Freddie Mercury statue. The area is quiet.
The hotel staff is friendly and helpful. When my room doesn’t have a fan, the staff quickly went to find a strong portable fan.
The view from the hotel room is nice too! I like the big windows. The room is spacious. The bathroom shower head has an interesting design, and water flow is smooth and strong.
Overall a good experience and highly recommended for travellers.FromUS$116

Old-World Grandeur Meets Modern Luxury – Grand Hotel Suisse MajesticMy stay at Grand Hotel Suisse Majestic, Autograph Collection was truly memorable. This hotel delivers on the “Suisse Majestic” name.Location: Unbeatable. Right on Lake Lucerne with direct views of the water and Mt. Pilatus. 5 min walk from Lucerne station and the boat piers, and Chapel Bridge is just across the Seebrücke. You step outside and you’re in the postcard version of Switzerland.The Hotel & Room: The building itself is stunning — a historic 1870s property with Belle Époque charm, but the interiors are fully updated. We stayed in a Lake View Junior Suite and the balcony views were worth every cent. High ceilings, elegant furnishings, marble bathroom, and a super comfortable bed. Quiet, despite being central. Housekeeping was flawless.Service: This is where Autograph Collection standards shine. Staff were polished, warm, and genuinely attentive. Concierge arranged a private lake cruise and dinner reservations without any fuss. Turn-down service included handwritten notes and local chocolates — small details that feel luxurious.Dining: Breakfast at the AMMOS restaurant was outstanding. À la carte + buffet, with great coffee, fresh pastries, Swiss cheeses, and hot dishes made to order. We also had dinner at TAO’s — the Asian fusion menu and lake-view terrace at sunset are a must.Facilities: The small spa/sauna with a plunge pool is a nice retreat after hiking. No full gym, but the location means you’re better off walking the lakeside promenade anyway.Vibe: Refined and romantic without feeling pretentious. Perfect mix of history and modern Marriott luxury. You see couples, business travelers, and multi-gen families all feeling at home.Minor notes: As with most historic lakefront hotels, room sizes vary — ask for a lake view if you can. Valet parking is expensive, but typical for Lucerne. The elevator is a bit slow, but that’s part of the old-world charm.Overall: If you want a special-occasion stay in Lucerne with true Swiss grandeur, this is it. More character than a standard chain hotel, with service to match. Rating: 5/5

The room looks nice, but it's old which needs renovation. Also, air-conditioning is really needed when it's about 30 degree Celsius. It's hard to sleep when it's this hot! For the hotel restaurant, I certainly don't recommend it as the staff was not nice and helpful. They asked us to get our seats in the restaurant and so we did. Afterwards, they asked why we didn't sit at a certain place. A bit angry here!FromUS$194
