How do we rate a property?
We rate all our hotels, resorts, and lodges using our own bespoke grading system. We'll only invite a property into our collection once it's been assessed by one of our specialists. If it doesn't impress us, it doesn't make the cut.
From the quality of the food served in the restaurant to the amenities offered in each bedroom, we carefully rate each property to make sure it meets our high expectations.

About This Hotel
Like at no other hotel in Europe, the bungalows at Hôtel Palafitte are built on stilts above the scenic waters of Lake Neuchâtel, and enjoy panoramic views of the Alps and Swiss countryside.
Being on the waterfront is nice, but sleeping in a luxury bungalow perched on stilts above the water? That's romance. Normally found in the South Pacific, these overwater accommodations are on a mountain lake in Switzerland, at Hôtel Palafitte.
Along with the unique setting, these bungalows sport some seriously state-of-the-art technology. In all 38 suites, every convenience is just a push of a button away. A single "SIM-pad" lets you lie in bed and control how warm or cool you are, what you watch on the plasma screen, and what song you play. The minibar and espresso machine may not be remote-controlled, but you can stand up and grab a beverage on your way to your private terrace with the mountain and lake view.
Depending on when you drop by "Le Bar" at Hôtel Palafitte, it can be a casual spot for lunch, or a cozy gathering place with a roaring fire. But no matter when you're there, the food is always good, the drinks plentiful, and vice versa.

Shore Pavilion
*Actual room may differ from image shown
Built on stilts on the edge of Lake Neuchâtel, the 14 shore pavilions offer a unique setting for relaxing holidays in every season. From the office corner, the spacious private terrace and – thanks to movable walls – even from the bathtub: the breath-taking view of the lake is omnipresent. Only a small path separates the bungalow from the lake where swimming is possible when the warm weather returns.

Lake Pavilion
*Actual room may differ from image shown
Like bubbles floating on Lake Neuchâtel, these pavilions radiate a romantic and magical atmosphere, allowing guests to reconnect with nature, with themselves and with loved ones sharing this inspiring stay. Beyond the large terrace, the neighbouring Alps form a unique horizon. Each of the 24 pavilions has an individual bedroom, a bathroom with movable partitions that allow a view onto the lake from the bath tub, a separate toilet, an office corner and a large terrace with only the neighbouring Alps to block the horizon. Direct access to the lake through a small ladder from their private terrace.
