CHATEAU D OUCHY Hotel | LAUSANNE Switzerland | Online Hotel Reservation

Built around 1900, this first-rate hotel uses a medieval (12th-century) tower as its core. The chateau has housed countless travelers throughout the 20th century. Many of its die-hard fans consider it the best location in all of Lausanne, across from the flower-bedecked pedestrian walkway of the lakefront. Its once-fortified tower, ideal for a honeymoon, is capped with a black-and-red-tile roof and surrounded by wings, dungeons, Renaissance-style gables, and Romanesque arches -- all crafted from gray stone. Massive renovations have upgraded the restaurants and public areas. Your opinion of this relic will depend almost entirely on what room you're booked into. Some are faded and in need of renovations; others are exquisite. Request to see the rooms before checking in, if possible. All units come with good-size bathrooms. If you're in a romantic mood and would like to stay in a castle, and if you aren't too demanding about your modern comforts,
