A hotel between the lake and the vines
The Hôtel Lavaux is a four-star hotel on the cantonal road from Lausanne to Vevey, on the way out of Cully towards Epesses. In front it has Lake Geneva and behind it the World Heritage vineyard terraces. It is a modern building, without the inn feel of the villages, and its advantage is practical: many rooms face the lake, you park free at the door and Epesses station is two minutes' walk away.
It has 64 rooms in eight categories. It is one of the largest places to stay in Lavaux, so it is usually easier to find a room here than in the small village houses.
The rooms
- Single, 20 m², with or without lake views.
- Double, 22 m², with a double bed or two beds. Those on the north side face the vineyards and those on the south, called "vue lac", the lake; some have a balcony.
- Deluxe double, 24 m², on the third and top floor, with a panoramic terrace over the lake and the Alps.
- Family, 40 m²: two rooms connected by a door, for two adults and up to two children under 12.
- Suites, 35 m², with bedroom, bathroom and living room, facing the lake and with a balcony or terrace.
- Apartments, in three sizes, with kitchenette and views of the lake and the Alps.
All have air conditioning, a safe, satellite television and a tea and coffee tray. The website does not publish prices: you see them in its booking engine when you choose a date.
Breakfast and services
Breakfast is a sweet and savoury buffet from 7:00 to 10:00. It is booked at reception and costs CHF 18 from age 13, CHF 10 for ages 4 to 12 and nothing for under-3s with their parents. Reception is open 24 hours. There is free wifi throughout the hotel, a small gym, a corner with books and games for children and a room with old photographs of Lavaux. The website does not mention a restaurant of its own, so for lunch and dinner count on Cully, a stroll away, or on Epesses, up the slope.
Getting there and getting around
By train, get off at Epesses, on the lake line, two minutes on foot; Cully station is about 15 minutes away. From Geneva you reach Cully in a little over an hour, with a change at Lausanne. By car, the hotel has about 30 free spaces in front, without booking, and there is public parking nearby. It is a good starting point for the terraces route, which passes above it, and for the Lavaux Express, which leaves from the Cully jetty. The CGN boat also stops at Cully.
