Breakfast
At the Beau Rivage Hotel, breakfast has garnered mostly positive feedback from guests. Many have praised the varied and plentiful options available at the breakfast buffet, noting the high quality of the food and the exceptional service. The breakfast experience is enhanced by beautiful views of the lake with some guests enjoying their meal in the garden or a veranda setting. The inclusion of high-quality products, such as salmon and scrambled eggs, has left a lasting impression on patrons.

However, a few reviews pointed out that the breakfast could be somewhat expensive with some guests opting to dine outside the hotel for a more affordable alternative. Additionally, the cut-off time for breakfast service at 10 AM was considered too early by some, especially for those on holiday. Despite these minor drawbacks, the general consensus is that the breakfast at Beau Rivage Hotel is top-notch with guests appreciating both the variety and the quality of the offerings.

Dinner
Beau Rivage Hotel offers a noteworthy dining experience that has garnered mixed reviews yet leans towards the positive. The tasting menu and the accompanying wines stand out as a popular choice, praised for high-quality products that justify the cost. Both the main restaurant and the brasserie corner are frequently highlighted for providing excellent meals, making them a favorable option for guests seeking quality dining.

However, the dining options can be limited, especially if the main restaurant and bar are booked for private functions. In such cases, guests are directed to a more casual bar menu consisting of burgers and club sandwiches served in the breakfast room. Despite the occasional lack of creativity and quality that some guests noted, the kitchen comes recommended overall.

It's worth mentioning that while the cuisine generally meets high standards, some guests have found the food prices to be relatively expensive with others citing that the menu may not always cater well to meat lovers. In summary, dinner at Beau Rivage Hotel is predominantly well-received, balancing amazing dining with a few areas for potential improvement.

Many rooms include wonderful views, whether it's over a lake, a terrace or the park, adding to the charm and appeal of the stay. Guests frequently describe the rooms as beautiful, superb and fantastically located.

However, a few guests have noted that the rooms, while charming and reminiscent of another century, can feel a bit dimly lit and exhibit some outdated features, particularly in the bathroom plumbing.

Nonetheless, most visitors find the beds very comfortable, contributing to an enjoyable experience at Beau Rivage Hotel.

Parking
The Beau Rivage Hotel offers the convenience of both valet parking and a directly adjacent public parking garage. The public covered parking is located just below the hotel, making it an accessible option for guests. However, many guests have noted that the parking cost is relatively high for the city with fees around CHF 35 per day for outdoor parking.
