The festival & the hotel

Information: Since 2024, the Festival has moved a little further east due to renovations at the 2m2c. As the format of 2026 remains a mystery, we invite you to follow the Festival’s news via their newsletter.

The Royal Plaza Montreux & the Villa Toscane are next to the festival entrance so do not hesitate to book your stay and take advantage of our ideal location. From the rooms on the Vernex park & lake side, you will be in the front row to attend the park’s stage* programme  & to enjoy Latin music on the famous “El Mundo” stage, set up directly in our gardens! The program includes dance classes in the afternoon, followed by fiery concerts and DJ sets in the evening. Additionally, please note that we host several private parties within the hotel every day from 3 PM to 11 PM, which are as festive as they are unique. A great atmosphere is on the agenda, & therefore a lot of noise is to be expected, especially in all rooms located on the Festival side!

As for parking, it’s essential that you reserve a space if you’re coming by car. Please note that in the evening car access may be disrupted & the price for parking during this period is CHF 40 / night / 24 hours for guests staying at the hotel.

*The “Super Bock Stage” is located before the renovations. The plan for 2026 has not yet been revealed. Stay informed in preparation for your stay in Montreux.
