Stay away if you are expecting any 5 star service.
Pros:

By far the worst Fairmont Property we have stayed at. Stay away. We booked since it was advertised as a 5 star property. Close to 3k for 3 nights. There is zero service. No one gives a xxx . No one greats you with a smile or genuine about hospitality. First night we dined at the Jazz Cafe as recommended by the front desk since we arrived around 7pm. Once seated we waited 20 min for service and the person who took our order never showed up again. The same level of service at concierge where the guy wouldn't help with dinner recommendations. At check out they held our bags until evening and just brought 6 bags to the lobby and no help loading. They just are arrogant and classless for a supposedly 5*.

And finally AC. Don't expect much we had the temp set to the lowest they would allow 18.5 and felt more like 23.
When raised the issue the manager came to the room and unlocked thermostat and set it for 17. Still didn't solve the problem. He said maintenance would show up the next day and no one did. They just left us a fan.

We have been diamond member for a few years will AllCor and decided to try Fairmont again. Never going again. We are done with the Fairmont brand.

Brilliant Hotel
Pros:

Brilliant hotel. Although preparing for the annual Jazz Festival to hotel was a good location.
The big plus is the quality of the staff and their great attitude. Valet parking so simple and straight forward. The hotel was vibrant.
Breakfast must be one of the best I experienced in Europe. Both evenings we eat in the Jazz Restaurant where the food and service were exceptional.

Beautiful
Pros:

The hotel was spotless, beautifully maintained, and the room was comfortable, bright, and thoughtfully designed. Every member of the staff was genuinely welcoming, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. The service was efficient, the atmosphere was warm, and every detail reflected a high standard of hospitality. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the area.

Lovely Hotel
Pros:

The Fairmont was a beautiful and well-maintained hotel in Montreux. Beautiful wide hallways led us to our lovely room that had an amazing view. Some fruit and water were placed on the bedroom table for us to enjoy.

We were able to walk a short distance to dining and the Freddie Mercury statue by the water. We walked there early in the morning before the day got too hot.
