A small, historic hotel with access to sumptuous amenities, Villa Toscane offers a quiet retreat just outside the bustle of Montreux. The Art Nouveau building, with curly wrought iron railings, ornate carved-stone balconies and arched windows, is conveniently located within walking distance of both the lake and the main part of town.
The hotel is operated by the Royal Plaza Montreux & Spa across the street, which gives you access to restaurants, spa facilities, a fitness room and a pool. A continental breakfast, plus the Royal Plaza’s Café Bellagio, Sinatra’s Bar and Sunset Bar are all available for dining and drinks, steps away from your hotel.
Each of the 45 rooms retains original features, like high corniced ceilings, while providing simple yet comfortable furnishings. This historic property lacks air conditioning but provides floor fans, and a cool breeze often blows from the nearby Lake Geneva.

The hotel offers five room categories, each with some features of the original building such as high ceilings, cornices, French windows and old fireplaces. The furnishings are uncomplicated but comfortable, and all rooms come with a TV, Wi-Fi and floor fans. Additional touches like bathrobes and slippers are available upon request.
Single and Standard rooms are smaller, while Superior rooms are more spacious, with seating areas and desks. The family rooms have a small kitchenette, while all other rooms have minibars and kettles for tea and coffee.
The hotel also offers a two-bedroom apartment, suitable for families or larger groups of friends.
The hotel is slightly away from the central part of town but is in easy walking distance of the train station, waterfront and restaurants. Its indulgent sister spa and hotel, which offers its facilities to the Villa Toscane’s guests, is located just steps away across the street.
Although this hotel is simple and in places a bit dated, it offers excellent value for money by offering the extra facilities of its sister property across the street.

You’ll find Belle Époque grandeur and airy modern style at the Grand Hotel Suisse Majestic, located in the heart of the Montreux Riviera. Across from both the lake and the train station, it offers peaceful rooms, fine dining and panoramic views in a convenient location.
