Bern
This is the Capital of Switzerland and it is here you will find the Parliament Building from where Switzerland is governed. Bern is built on a peninsular formed by a meander of the River Aar and it is centrally located and easy to reach. This makes it an ideal starting point from which you can discover the whole of Switzerland by taking day trips. The Old Town of Bern has an interesting place to shop that is billed as one of the longest "weatherproof" shopping malls in Europe. Under these covered arcades filled with a mediaeval atmosphere are shops in the cellar vaults that are very interesting and unique. Bern also has many museums, theatres, landmarks, cafés, restaurants and shops - not to mention the weekly market (and the lovely Christmas market) - all of which can be easily reached on foot.

Lucerne

Click on Accommodations in Switzerland Listed by City to find information about hotels and other accommodations in Lucerne, or to make reservations in Lucerne or other cities in Switzerland.

This centrally located Swiss city is one of my favorite. I love the picturesque old town which is car-free and small enough to be explored on foot. Stop at a sidewalk cafe for a sweet and a cup of coffee and enjoy some people watching. Walk across the famous covered bridge, the "Kapellbrücke," that spans the Reuss river and take a look at the paintings. Hop on a ferry boat and explore the area on the water as there is deep blue water everywhere. Enjoy the museums, especially the famous Swiss Transport Museum. Take a steamboat to the steep and nostalgic mountain railways that lift you up high to one of the surrounding pre-alpine summits. But there is a lot more to see and do here than sightseeing. The people of Lucerne just love to party and this very same spirit has kept alive many different customs and traditions which, together with more recent events, shape the local cultural scene. You can experience some of this at one of the Swiss Folklore Shows. Lucerne is also filled with some great shopping opportunities. In fact, there is something for everyone and you will certainly feel at ease in Lucerne, the town with the highest quality of life in Switzerland! Click Here for lots more.

Montreux

FAIRMONT LE MONTREUX PALACE
Fairmont Le Montreux Palace is situated on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, overlooking the Alps. Built in 1906, this Jewel of Belle-Époque architecture offers a traditional and elegant atmosphere, and a personalized and attentive service in true Swiss style. "Pearl of the Riviera", Montreux-Vevey enjoys a particularly mild and pleasant climate thanks to its privileged location on the shores of Lake Geneva and at the foot of the Alps in Switzerland. The diversity of excursions and recreation, be it by bus, train or boat, and of sports (water sports, tennis, golf, horse-riding, hiking) as well as of entertainment offered by the region allows each and everyone, no matter what age, to spend their time ideally. There is always something happening on the Swiss Riviera, whether it be the international events punctuating the year: the Jazz Festival in July, during the winter season the theatre performances and the classical music concerts, and the Christmas market and the "Festival du rire".

Fairmont Le Montreux Palace has 235 rooms and suites, most of which overlook the lake, and thus offer a fabulous panorama of the vigor and freshness of nature, all drenched in light. Most of the rooms have a balcony or veranda--ideal spots to take advantage of the first rays of sunlight or the warm summer nights. Spacious and light, decorated in warm colors such as burgundy, royal blue or eggshell, the rooms have an elegant and classical feel. A few pieces of antique furniture--desk, chest of drawers or wardrobe--enrich a decor recently renovated in the Belle Époque spirit. Yet behind the sophisticated atmosphere lurk all the conveniences of the modern world: Public Wireless LAN connection, air conditioning, telephone with voice messaging, modem connection, cable television with Pay-per-View. Our hotel is no stranger to high technology!

When it comes to taste, we have something for everyone! Fairmont Le Montreux Palace has no fewer than four different restaurants. A quick snack or a gourmet meal? A quiet table on the lakeshore or a dinner with jazz music? It's up to you…Its four restaurants, two bars and nightclub offer a vast palate of choice for all its clientele. Begin your evening in an intimate atmosphere in the bar La Rose d'Or or with live music at Harry's New York bar. Enjoy your meal in a traditional French ambiance at La Brasserie du Palace or in the gourmet restaurant Jaan. Take advantage of the location of the terrace overlooking the lake and the Alps, open during the summer season.

My preferred hotel chain is Marriott. I have stayed Residence Inns, which are prefect for longer stays with all the comforts of home; Spring Hill Suites, which I have found nice for longer stays as the have up to 25% more room than comparably priced rooms; Towne Place Suites, again when I want more room or am on a longer stay; Courtyard by Marriott, which has everything the business traveler needs, as well as families; Courtyard, Fairfield Inn, which I find spacious, comfortable and affordable. Another great idea is to stay at one of the JW Marriott Hotels & Resorts where you can enjoy a new dimension for your vacation or holiday. and Marriott Hotels and Resorts and have found them all to be of consistent quality and service. I have also stayed at some of their Vacation Club properties and have enjoyed each visit. AAA members can get discount rates at Marriott, as can Seniors.
