An original and magnificent hotel. The rooms, beautiful and overlooking the water, are relaxing and peaceful. I really appreciated that I could keep an eye on my son who was in the adjoining room. The staff were very helpful.

This is the 2nd time I stay in this property. Undeniably its originality is remarkable and worth seeing. This hotel is unique. On the other hand , the staff is efficient, friendly always with a touch of humor , we enjoyed it . Only downside, the air conditioning was ineffective.

Hôtel Palafitte

Neuchatel, Switzerland

Hotel information Explore the map

With a series of pavilions jutting out into Lake Neuchatel, Hôtel Palafitte is a far cry from the conventional lakeside hotels in Switzerland.

For a start, it’s built over water (the only hotel of its kind in Europe) and most rooms have been designed by architect Kurt Hofmann to take advantage of their glorious outlook over the lake and the Alps with yacht-like decks. For guests brave enough to climb down the ladder of their balcony and into the water, Lake Neuchatel is yours to enjoy any time of the day. For the less adventurous souls, the graceful picture of swans and moorhens bobbing on the water below is the next best thing. At Hôtel Palafitte, there is magic and beauty in everything and you’ll be hard-pressed to find a Swiss hotel with a better or more romantic setting to let go of your everyday life.
