Family Friendly Hotels in Lausanne

With its terraced streets spilling down to Lake Geneva and the French Alps rising across the water, this city is a study in elegant contrasts. Lausanne is the Olympic Capital, home to the International Olympic Committee and the superb Olympic Museum in Ouchy. The historic Cité district, centered around the Gothic Lausanne Cathedral, offers winding medieval lanes, while the Flon neighborhood pulses with contemporary art galleries and nightlife in a converted industrial zone. A funicular railway connects the upper town to the lakeside, making it easy to explore all its layers.

The city is a strong fit for both culture-focused travelers and business visitors, thanks to its international organizations and university. Couples will appreciate the romantic lakefront promenades and fine dining in the old town. For easy access to everything, look for hotels in the city center near the main train station or down by the water in Ouchy, which has direct boat links to towns across Lake Geneva. Lausanne’s compact size and excellent metro system make getting around straightforward.
