FAIRMONT LE MONTREUX

FAIRMONT LE MONTREUX PALACE Jazz on the shores of Lake Geneva A LUXURIOUS BELLE-ÉPOQUE masterpiece in the heart of the Swiss Alps, sitting prettily on the shores of Lake Geneva, Fairmont Le Montreux Palace has been a landmark of the city since 1906. The hotel – along with the city - found its passion in 1967 with the introduction of the Montreux Jazz Festival. The 236-room luxury hotel warmly welcomes visiting artists and jazz legends each year. Music greats such as Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye, Miles Davis, Freddie Mercury, Prince, David Bowie, Elton John and Stevie Wonder have frequented the festival. Every year brings new international artists and budding talents. Legendary composer and record producer Quincy Jones has made Fairmont Le Montreux Palace his home during the festival for decades, earning his own eponymous suite. Music aficionados will appreciate the sumptuous Quincy Jones Lake View Suite, equipped with a Bang & Olufsen sound system, two private terraces and artwork that tells the story of a music producer’s genius. The hotel’s restaurants and bars reverberate with the jazz vibe all year long, particularly the Montreux Jazz Café. A cool and casual place to dine, this popular spot is decorated in tribute to Claude Nobs, founder of the Montreux Jazz Festival.

THE SAVOY, A FAIRMONT MANAGED HOTEL A “who’s who” in the cultural heart of London SINCE OPENING IN 1889, The Savoy, a Fairmont Managed Hotel, has been a magnet for the wealthy, the famous, the glamorous, and even the notorious. A certain Princess Elizabeth visited the hotel with her then fiancé Prince Philip. Claude Monet and Pablo Picasso checked in for the inspiring views. Now, guests come for the iconic Afternoon Tea and stay for Gordon Ramsay’s Beef Wellington Masterclass. No other London hotel can rival The Savoy’s creative guest experiences nor its superlative location. Overlooking the River Thames, The Savoy is in the thick of theatre, the arts, the City and the luxury shopping of Knightsbridge and Mayfair. The 267 guestrooms are elegantly decorated in Edwardian or Art Deco style. Personality Suites evoke historically famous guests, such as Maria Callas, Frank Sinatra and Winston Churchill. The hotel recently unveiled The Royal Suite by Gucci – a tribute to the fashion house founder, Guccio Gucci, who worked as a porter there in his younger days. With five stars to its name, The Savoy is recognised with awards from Forbes Travel Guide to Condé Nast Traveler, and from World’s 50 Best Bars to Tales of the Cocktail.
