De La Paix Hotel

Housed in a pastel-toned 18th-century building, the Hotel De La Paix is situated 200 metres from the lake and two kilometres from the city centre. The 131 guestrooms are traditionally decorated with patterned fabrics and wood furnishings, and come equipped with wireless Internet connections, satellite televisions with Internet access, direct-dial phones, clock radios, minibars, safes and bathrooms with shower/tub combinations and complimentary toiletries.
The hotel offers two dining options: the Neptune restaurant serves a range of international and Italian dishes in a traditional setting with a garden terrace, and Al Barilotto is an informal, rustic restaurant offering grilled meat, wood-fired pizzas and salads. Guests can sun themselves on the hotel's garden terrace, enjoy a relaxing dip in the outdoor pool, and round off the day with cocktails in the La Cupola bar. Those on business will benefit from a range of office- support services and conference facilities. Further practical amenities include a 24-hour front desk with a safe-deposit box, laundry facilities and a multilingual concierge service on hand to offer sightseeing assistance. The hotel provides both garage parking (surcharge) and complimentary outdoor parking. The Museum of Modern Art and the Swissminiatur open- air museum are both within five kilometres.
