Hotel Righi Vaudois
The Hotel Righi-Vaudois has been a Grand Hotel in times of the Belle Epoque. The hotel is located in Glion,a village in the municipality of Montreux, that was the equivalent of the health resort Rigi-Scheidegg in the canton of Schwyz.
It started as a little chalet in 1854 built by Jacques Mirabaud ( a Genevan financier and co-founder of the Swiss private Bank Mirabaud). Ten years after the opening a second larger building was built in addition to the chalet.It became the first hotel located in the high altitudes above the Lake Geneva.
The hotel facility included a bathhouse, several gardens, lounges, as well as a private telegraph line.
The view onto the Lake Geneva is absolutely stunning.
The Righi-Vaudois closed almost 20 years ago, and has been taken over in 2020 by the Saudi Arabian Investment Group Saba & partners.
