History
Once upon a time… Victor Hugo, Camille Saint-Saëns, Charlie Chaplin, Coco Chanel, Gary Cooper, Sacha Guitry, Hirohito, Nelson Mandela, Hussein de Jordanie…
Stars in the history of the century, who have in common the fact that they walked up on the marble and velvet of the Beau-Rivage Palace. And this is no accident.
Closely linked to the development of the little port of Ouchy, the history of the hotel starts in 1857.
First years. Its huge lounges, with their 18th century frescos, were, from the very start, the scene of sumptuous balls and dinners. The exceptionally beautiful surroundings, the luxurious room furnishings and the highest standards of service soon gave the hotel an international reputation. And such was its almost immediate popularity that it quickly came to the point where the hotel had to expand.
In 1864, construction was started on an annexe, Le Chalet.
Then in 1908, in response to an ever-increasing demand, construction of the Palace was entrusted to the architects Jost, Bezencenet & Schnell. Their concept of a building that was exuberantly neo-baroque, with later art deco flourishes, is linked to the Beau-Rivage a rotunda of classical simplicity.
There was no question, of course, of saving on quality. The central dome of the main dining room is by Dickmann.
The Zurich painter, Haberer, created the fresco in the Rotonde. The bronze chandeliers and ornamental wall lights were supplied by Thiébaud of Paris.
The stylist Chiara was responsible for the design of the glass panels which decorate the lift and which are identical to those in the Paris Ritz. Neo-baroque is known for its highly ornamental decorative styling which certainly gave great pleasure to the hotel guests of that period.

Restaurants
L’Accademia
Restaurant l’Accademia, which you will find in the nearby Hotel d’Angleterre & Residence, offers authentic Italian cuisine, in a contemporary and avant-garde setting. For those who truly appreciate Mediterranean cuisine – and its finest wines L’Accademia is a must.
Anne-Sophie Pic
Following the complete refurbishment of the hotel and the creation of one of Europe’s most beautiful spas, the Beau-Rivage Palace embarked on a new chapter in its history in the spring of 2009, putting Anne-Sophie Pic in charge of its gourmet restaurant.
Anne-Sophie Pic has dropped anchor on the shores of Lake Geneva whilst remaining in charge in Valence, the birthplace of her eponymous restaurant.
Her long-awaited arrival at the Beau-Rivage Palace is first and foremost the result of the natural connection between two great institutions and their shared values:
- A long and prestigious history
- A unique, refined art of living
- A culture of excellence
Whilst the Maison Pic is celebrating its 120th anniversary and upmarket gourmet dining, with three generations awarded the famous three stars in the Michelin Guide, Anne-Sophie Pic, the youngest member of the dynasty, has decided to become the first to practise her art outside its walls.
In opening a new restaurant in Lausanne, Anne-Sophie Pic’s aim was to imbue the Beau-Rivage Palace with the spirit of the Maison Pic, which has inspired her family for four generations.
“For the restaurant at the Beau-Rivage Palace in Lausanne, a magnificent hotel whose culture of excellence I share, I have devised an à la carte and two set menus that convey family, love, nature, the freshness of a berry picked as you walk along a path, the powerful scent of mushrooms on the edge of a wood and the memory of the aromas of the family kitchen and culminate in a simple, pleasurable and authentic experience.”
Anne-Sophie PICGuided by her desire to share and be generous, Anne-Sophie Pic has created two “Emotions” menus that she reinvents with each passing season, based on her own inspirations.
The “Pic Collection” menu, in turn, offers a range of traditional family dishes – classic recipes that are all about passing on taste and values down through the generations.
Café Beau-Rivage
Our luxurious Brasserie, with its sophisticated and laid-back atmosphere, the Beau-Rivage Café stands out with its contemporary decor and its warm tones.
