Half a mile above Montreux-Vevey and overlooking the beautiful Lake Geneva, Le Mirador Kempinski offers high class luxury service in a breathtaking setting, with a simply magnificent view of the Alps above and lake below.
After 10 months of major renovations, the hotel reopened in 2009, offering more modern facilities and design to enhance the hotel’s high quality service and beautiful panorama. Thanks to this multi-million Swiss Franc renovation programme, the historical manor’s 64 lake view rooms and suites now combine state of the art equipment with sophisticated design and refined European flair.
Nestled in the hills of the picturesque village of Chardonne, it is a secure and intimate resort; stylishly appointed and offering royal comfort and elegance. The hotel’s 45 junior suites each offer a generous 50sq m of space in the south wing. Naturally lit through large picture windows which frame the beautiful landscape, the suites are elegantly decorated in warm tones, harmoniously contrasting with the vivid blue sky. Oversized beds and natural stone bathrooms ensure pampered relaxation, and large private balconies command further awe inspiring views of the Alps.
Modern facilities include high speed internet, free Wi-Fi in the hotel’s public areas, Logitech Dream-Fi iPod docks and full high-definition televisions – Le Mirador Kempinski is the first five star hotel in Switzerland to offer these. Grander suites – including the 190sq m Duplex Deluxe Lake View and the 250sq m Royal Suite – are also elegantly appointed.
The hotel offers a wide range of dining opportunities. The tables of Mediterranean restaurant Le Patio stretch out onto Le Mirador Kempinski’s stunning terrace, serving salads, delicate amuse bouche and authentically flavoured Italian cuisine. French gourmet Le Trianon combines lake-caught fish with seasonal flavours to create a distinguished gastronomic experience. Au Chalet, an authentic Swiss outpost moments from the main hotel building, provides rural feasts, while the new breakfast room L’Horizon distracts from a sumptuous buffet with its show kitchen and magnificent views. The exceptional Piano Bar Lounge, furnished with deep leather armchairs, offers a collection of exquisite champagnes and vintage whiskies.
With such breathtaking views and photogenic backdrops, Le Mirador Kempinski is an ideal destination for a wedding. The dramatic location is the perfect stage for a perfect day, and the hotel’s experienced wedding team can assist with all the meticulous detail. It is also a fine choice for an indulgent, relaxing getaway: the Givenchy Spa includes 11 treatment cabins, a new Givenchy boutique, hair fashion salon, relaxation room, and a new centralised reception which is shared with Le Mirador Medical Centre.
There’s also the new 90sq m Day Spa Suite: consisting of a sauna, Turkish bath, Jacuzzi, relaxation area and massage area for two. Signature treatments are Le Soin Noir – a complete beauty skincare renewal; and Oriental – an eastern fusion massage.
