St-Georges

Overlooking Lausanne's harbor from a 1920s building of cream stone and art deco ironwork, this hotel brings a cosmopolitan air to the lakeshore. Fifty to one hundred fifty guests gather in a reception room whose floor-to-ceiling windows offer unobstructed views toward Evian and Mont-Blanc. The ballroom's original molding and sconces suggest dignity without ostentation. A private terrace cantilevered over the quay provides ceremony space where water laps at the margins. It serves couples seeking urban sophistication with lakeside amenities.
