About Hotel Masson

In a quiet location surrounded by a large garden and century-old trees, the family-run Hotel Masson looks out over the deep blue waters of Lake Geneva. If you love history and culture, this hotel is for you - it's the oldest hotel in the area and a member of Swiss Historic Hotels. The picturesque Château de Chillon is nearby, and you'll get one free entrance per person per stay.

This elegant Belle Epoque-style hotel dates back to 1829 and is in a peaceful spot between the lake and mountains, so there's a variety of walking trails nearby. Make sure you're back at the hotel for sunset - the garden gets an incredible view. Enjoy a warm welcome, exceptional hospitality, and delicious meals

The sights and sounds of Montreux's bustling centre are a pleasant stroll along the lakeside path - it's a musical city famous for the Montreux Jazz Festival in July, and being the recording location for many of Queen's albums - look out for the huge Freddie Mercury statue on the edge of the lake.

Discover Montreux

  • Wander through the UNESCO World Heritage Lavaux Vineyards
  • Take the Chocolate Train for a unique, culinary day out
  • Stroll along the lakeside promenade and hop aboard a scenic cruise

Montreux sits on the north-east shore of Lake Geneva, between bright blue waters and the forested foothills of the Alps. Visitors have long been drawn to the mild climes here – from the monks who first planted the Lavaux vineyards to the well-heeled tourists and rock stars who have stayed in the belle époque mansions and stylish hotels. Trains climb into the mountains, exploring food routes and heading up to high alpine footpaths and viewpoints. The mild climate also fuels the food and drink scene; the whole Montreux Riviera is famous for its wine and cuisine.

Music lovers might spot the Freddie Mercury statue on the promenade—a nod to Queen and other legendary artists like Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones and David Bowie, who recorded at Montreux’s Mountain Studios. For the full experience, visit during the Montreux Jazz Festival.
