Astra Hotel, Vevey

Vevey's 4-Star Astra Hotel has been under the personal supervision of Christophe and his family for over half a century, and their friendly and welcoming service has delighted GRJ customers for many 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 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 roof top Panoramic Spa overlooking the 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
• Dinner: three-course dinner with a choice of main course

The hotel is a consistent favourite and has won many of our hotelier awards, with recognition in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. In 2012 it won the GRJ Silver Award for excellent customer service across the Switzerland and Austria region, following this up in 2013 with a Gold Award for best food.
