Montreux Hotels and Accommodation

Montreux, in western Switzerland, is a resort community that has often been described as the jewel of the Swiss Riviera. Montreux began to develop as a tourist destination early in the 19th century when it captured the attention of such people as Lord Byron and Hans Christian Andersen. Today Montreux is, among other things, home of the annual (July) Montreux Jazz Festival. Whether you come here for a vacation or just to spend a weekend, Montreux is bound to be a great experience for you. Here you can attend a concert in the Auditorium Stravinsky, or stroll along the Lakeshore Promenade and see the statue of pop star Freddy Mercury, who loved Montreux and died here in 1991. Guests staying in Montreux hotels can shop the market in the Place du Marche, which was built in 1891.
