Chateau d’Ouchy is a gorgeous, historic hotel in an exceptional location in Lausanne.
Pros:

Chateau d’Ouchy was a beautiful property, and the location on Lake Geneva, near the Olympic headquarters and about 1 block away from the Lausanne metro, was exceptional. The hotel itself did a wonderful job of keeping the look and feel of a historic property while providing modern comforts. I highly recommend staying here.

Pros:

Great place, beautiful lake just outside of the hotel, very paceful area.
Hotel itself is very elegant, breakfast is fresh and tasty (most of the products is kinda sweet like pastries/jams etc., so it may be a minus to some people).
Room with lake view was amazing - we got a place in the additional part of the building with huge panoramic windows all over the walls. Place is very clean, best offer of teas in the room I have ever seen :)

Cons:

In our room there was partially open bathroom concept - it will not be friendly for everyone - only WC was behind closed doors, rest was behind the wall with no doors. Not sure, if it applies to other rooms as well.
Also hotel is reserving 300 CHF deposit upon check in, which is given back at the check out - we didn't know about it, so it would be good to provide such information beforehand.

Magical and fantasy-like stay in old medieval tower
Pros:

Exceptional and magical setting, all the more in the special suites at the old medieval tower. We had the joy of staying in the Suite Chevalier and it was perhaps the most magical stay we ever had.

We loved it!
Pros:

We loved our stay at the Chateau! The rooms were warm and thoughtfully decorated. The location on the lake was beautiful and the hotel is across the road from the Olympic metro station so it was super easy to travel all over Lausanne. It was nice to stay somewhere peaceful and gorgeous but easily accessible to everywhere. The breakfast restaurant is lovely with a gorgeous view of the lake. We would definitely stay again.
