business hotel under renovation
This hotel seems to be mainly a business hotel on weekdays and fill the room on weekends with mostly European tour groups. Pros: the hotel rooms are as modern and clean as advertised; near Lausanne train station (steep uphill 1 block from it); near water front (4 blocks steep uphill). Bathroom is spacious and more importantly--clean. The shower had great water pressure and drains well (personal pet peeve). The tap water tastes as good as any bottled water I’ve tasted--the source of Evian water apparently is across the lake from Lausanne. negatives: as of 5/22/09 under major renovation on some floors of the hotel. We had to walk on plastic tarps at parts. However, because it was over the weekend, no one was working. Parking is next to hotel--I believe cheaper parking can be found by the train station. The hotel service staff is stoic and detached, which seemed strange until I realized that is reflective of Swiss culture.
Traveler's tip on dining
For first time travelers to Switzerland, be prepared for sticker shock on eating out. But have fun!

Great location, Average comfort
Great location just around the corner from city center. I went for Business and was expecting in room internet service, a nice gym, and variety of TV channels. Was a little bit disapointed because non fullfil my expectation. For a leisure traveller I really recommend this hotel.
Traveler's tip for business travelers
If you expect in room internet service, like going to the gym in the mornings and watch a little TV just before ending your day, this is probably not the best option.
