Suite of the Week: Coco Chanel at Lausanne Palace

Abelson Editors -

In this week’s "Suite of the Week," we step inside the Lausanne Palace to discover the Coco Chanel Suite, a luxurious homage to the iconic designer who lived in the hotel for several years.

“Coco Chanel rarely left her room at the Beau-Rivage, staying on her balcony and enjoying the view of the lake and mountains".

Chanel's refined aesthetic largely inspired the suite’s design, with its serene palette of sky blue and cream tones. Located on the 5th floor, the suite features a magnificent balcony offering stunning views of Lake Geneva.
