Hôtel du Grand Lac Excelsior

I lived in Montreux for 16 years and here is your ultimate guide on where to stay when visiting, either for a few days or just flying by. 1. The Historic Hotels 2. My Top Picks 3. Entire Homes 3. On a Budget Montreux is not a huge city and very walkable (but steep). The center of Montreux is pretty much next to the train station and going down to the Lake. The Old Town is situated in Les Planches, a little bit higher (yet you will probably need less than 10 minutes to reach the Lake).
