Our hotels have been chosen based on their location, the facilities and value for money. Where possible we select hotels with individual style and character, preferably run by local families as we find this gives our hotels a friendlier, more personal feel. We have worked with many of our hotels for over a decade.

Vevey's 4-star Astra Hotel has been under the personal supervision of the Ming family for over 50 years. Located opposite the railway station and just a short walk from the shores of Lake Geneva, the hotel is an ideal base from which to explore Vevey and the surrounding area. The hotel is a consistent favourite with customers, winning GRJ's awards for food and service in 2008 and 2009.

The Astra Hotel features two restaurants and a Brasserie, a snack bar and the cosy Orient Express Bar, which has a theme of railways from a bygone age. It also has a brand new roof top Panoramic Spa overlooking the lush vineyards above the hotel. Its superb facilities include a sauna, solarium, fitness suite and jacuzzi.

The comfortable rooms have all been individually decorated and are well-equipped with a television, telephone, hairdryer, minibar, tea and coffee making facilities, safety deposit box and air conditioning. Upgrades to deluxe rooms and Junior Suites are available on request.

Typical meal arrangements when dining at the hotel:

• Breakfast: buffet-style continental breakfast, cold items only
