Conference venue

Hotel Beau-Rivage Palace, 5*****
Lausanne, Switzerland

Located in 10 acres of parkland, on the banks of Lake Geneva in Lausanne, the elegant belle epoque buildings of the Beau-Rivage Palace command breathtaking views across the lake to the majestic French Alps beyond.

The hotel has built a reputation for being one of Europe's favourite hotels thanks to its service and high quality.

Sumptuous architecture, antiques and fine reproductions steep guests in the glorious past in both public and private spaces. On the other hand, guests feel instantly at home, thanks to the warm and attentive staff, which includes Switzerland's only female chief concierge.
