Hotel Beau Rivage Weggis

The location was in a gorgeous setting The lakefront seating The staff were working very hard to please everyone Parking lot was close

It needs a little TLC. A/C is needed

Location was 10/10 being right next to the lake and short distance away from bus stop and boat station. The cable car to Rigi was a 10 minute walk away. Room was huge with patio area overlooking the lake with views to the mountains opposite. Air conditioning unit kept the room temp comfortable given the outside temperatures of 35+. Bathroom was also spacious with modern walk in shower. The hotel had lots of character although some of the fittings needed an update. You could imagine in its heyday it was first class.

Check in and out was efficient rather than particularly friendly. We weren’t given much information and had to ask most things. Breakfast was very confusing. We were told 8a.m. upon check in (although the book in room said 8:30) and so arrived promptly the next morning @ 8 to discover that quite clearly a group had already eaten and there was nothing left. The 2 staff were frantically trying to replenish, we guess for 8:30. We had to ask for cutlery, coffee/tea, orange juice. The bread for toast was very dry, the croissants covered in icing sugar. We were so disappointed with the whole experience for the rest of the week we skipped the breakfast in the hotel and went across the road to the bakery. We eventually decided to give it another try hoping it was a one off. We arrived at 8:45 to allow staff time to get ready. It was worse!! What bread there was was being eaten by a sparrow which had flown in through the open doors. By the droppings on the back of some of the chairs we suspected it wasn’t the first time! There were no tables laid and again we had to ask for everything, if we could actually find a member of staff who were in the kitchen. As there is no official early breakfast if you need to get into the mountains early you’ll need to get your own elsewhere. As a result of our breakfast experience we decided not to eat in the evening at the hotel but the restaurant seemed busy most evenings. Cleanliness in the room was a bit hit and miss and we resorted to asking for things to be changed. Some of the fittings were dated and could do with upgrades. Overall there was no comparison to the other 4* hotels we have stayed at in this Swiss trip or previous.

Everything was exquisite!

This property, the views, the rooms, even the pillows are wonderful. Truly a luxury experience.

Location is stunning and convenient. Parking at the hotel.

Dated hotel, median breakfast.
