The Swiss mountain world is unique - the gorges, valleys, rock massifs and peaks reaching up to over 4,000 metres accompany the holiday guest in Switzerland practically at every turn. The numerous Swiss lakes can easily compete with this splendour. They are lined with vineyards, charming towns and villages, forests and Mediterranean gardens, elegant promenades - and fine hotels. Romantik Hotels & Restaurants can be found on some of Switzerland's most beautiful bodies of water: Lake Geneva, Lake Maggiore, Lake Lucerne and Lake Lugano, for example.

Small jewels in exclusive locations

Hotels on the lake in Switzerland not only shine with an exclusive location, they are little jewels in their own right. Spend your holiday in a 200-year-old patrician house at the gates of Lugano, a small castle in Ascona or a historic winegrower's house at the foot of the vineyards. Or descend into a snow-white palace right on the lake promenade. Enjoy the view of the surrounding mountains, the sailors on the lake and the flowering shores. Let the chef of your Romantik Hotel & Restaurant spoil you with specialities - fish dishes, Mediterranean cuisine, Italian-influenced culinary art or haute cuisine. The wine to go with it may grow right next door: for example on the slopes of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Lavaux on Lake Geneva or in Switzerland's smallest wine-growing region on the slopes of Lake Murten.

Explore the Swiss lakes from your hotel by the lake

The excursion options available from your lakeside hotel in Switzerland are as spectacular as the views: On Lake Geneva, for example, the newly opened Museum Chaplins World in Vevey beckons, where the life and work of Charlie Chaplin are presented in the former villa of the film legend. From Lake Lucerne, don't miss a trip to the Rigi, the Swiss queen of the mountains. Wonderful hiking trails await you on Lake Lugano, taking you to fantastic vantage points and picturesque villages. On a clear day, the view here stretches far into Italy - all the way to Milan! But first look ahead to your next holiday - and book your Swiss hotel on the lake right here.
