A modern interpretation of a grand hotel – how the Villars Palace combines alpine grandeur with modern elegance. What was opened in 1913 as a classic grand hotel is now a style-conscious reinterpretation of Alpine elegance. Here, Belle Époque meets contemporary design and discreet luxury with a cosmopolitan vibe.
The surroundings – panorama with postcard character
Villars-sur-Ollon towers over the Rhone Valley like a box seat of nature. The Vaud Alps spread out in broad lines, snow-capped peaks alternate with lush green alpine meadows. On clear days, the view stretches as far as Mont Blanc, while vineyards and small villages in the valley exude Mediterranean flair.
