Midrange
Golf-Hôtel René Capt
Charming Belle Epoque-style hotel is outside the city center but close to the lakeside promenade.
Hotel Masson
Billing itself as the oldest hotel in Montreux dating from 1829, the Masson offers proximity to the lake and the outdoors, but is a bit of a hike from the city center. The location is a bit of a hike from town though near the Château de Chillon.
Villa Toscane
Charming Art Nouveau-style villa situated next to the lake. The hotel sits about 1km from the city center and 2km from the railway station. You can access free amenities such as a business center and spa in the Royal Plaza across the street.
Grand Hotel Excelsior
Victorian style four-star that overlooks the Swiss Alps and Lake Geneva. It sits about 2km from the city center, but offers a variety of spa and wellness facilities on site.
Hôtel Bon-Port
Quiet hotel that is only a few minutes walk from the city center. Unlike many of the hotels in Montreux, the Bon-Port doesn't have lake or mountain views, however it makes up for this with a extra-friendly staff and pleasant ambiance.
Vieux-Port
Nice apartment 50 m2 modern and tasteful furnishings in a little residential building. 30 m to the lake, near the bus, 5 min. walk from the centre. Living room, two sofabeds, one bedroom, two single beds, kitchen, television, DVD, internet connection, crockery, elevator. 1-4 pers.
Top end
Le Montreux Palace
A Belle Epoque-style building constructed in 1906, this recently renovated hotel is part of the Fairmont group previously owned by Raffles, offers the usual 5-star amenities, and overlooks Lake Geneva.
Suisse-Majestic
In a town of very fancy hotels the Suisse-Majestic stands out at least for its fine location. Also it's a four-star and as such not nearly as expensive as the five-stars further down the list, so given that it receives rave reviews this makes the Majestic a great value.
Mirador Kempski
A chateux-like hotel sitting in the foothills above Vevey and Montreux is currently under renovation and is scheduled to reopen for business in the summer of 2009.
Royal Plaza
This recently renovated hotel sits right on the shores of Lake Geneva and can offer you 5-star views of the "Swiss Riviera" - if you manage to get a room on that side of the hotel.
Hôtel-Restaurant de la Rouvenaz
The Italian restaurant in this family-owned hotel seems to get more attention than the actually building itself, however accommodations are an inexpensive bet near the city center. Groups of up to 24 can rent out the entire place.
