Beau-Rivage Hotel.

Dating back to 1862, the Beau-Rivage Hotel occupies a prime position on the Esplanade du Mont-Blanc, directly bordering Lake Neuchâtel. This Relais & Châteaux property blends its historic 19th-century mansion architecture with views that stretch across the water to the Alps, all while remaining a short walk from the city's medieval old town. The 60 rooms and suites are styled with understated elegance, but the real draw is how the hotel integrates its lakeside setting into the daily experience, particularly at the veranda bar and the terraces. Dining is anchored by O’Terroirs, where chef Mickaël Lavoisier pairs local Swiss ingredients with Mediterranean influences. A well-equipped wellness area, the B-Spa, rounds out the amenities with a hammam and steam room.
