Welcome to Montreux Riviera, a real corner of pa- radise, which has attracted so many artists, men of letters and travellers in search of natural beauty, peace and inspiration. Indeed, it was certainly not by chance that Charlie Chaplin chose to spend the last 25 years of his life on the hillside behind Vevey, or that Freddie Mer- cury immortalized Lake Geneva and the peaks of the Grammont on the cover of his album “Made in Heaven”, or that Stravinsky composed the “Rite of Spring” at Montreux, or that the singer Prince declared his love for Lavaux in a song called after the famous terraced vineyard, part of the UNESCO World Heritage.
How do you explain the attraction that Montreux Rivie- ra held for Hemingway, Nabokov, Sissi and so many ot- hers? Perhaps it’s the advantages of the microclimate, or the splendours of a lake that you cannot but admire, or the surrounding mountains, both impressive and re- assuring, or the sunsets that resemble the paintings of the masters…? No doubt all of these aspects! But whatever the reasons that attracted you to Montreux Riviera, we would like to wish you the most pleasant, relaxing and inspiring stay.
