Hotel Splendid Montreux, in front of Lake Geneva (Lac Leman). It was built at the end of the 19th century and its opening was in 1904. It was in 1934 that the establishment was re bought by Mr. Vital Hausmann. Since then, it has stayed within the family. The third generation of this family started to renovate the building in the year 2000, getting the inspiration from the documents dated at the beginning of the 20th century in order to bring back the charm of that time and at the same time integrating the last technologies such as Satellite TV and Internet by Wi-Fi which was the first Hotel in Switzerland to get it and it is free for the guests of the Hotel.
Many historic characters have had a stop at the Hotel Splendid in Montreux. Among them, Vladimir Lenin (in 1908), Charlie Chaplin, the Yes, the Rolling Stones and Eddie Constantine also Claude Nobs Foundator and general manager of the Montreux Jazz Festival, without leaving out the numerous famous names of jazz and of music in general who wither live in this region or who come regularly for their festivals.
