Hotel zz TO BE DELETED - La Pinte du (Murten)

The Relais & Châteaux hotel Le Vieux Manoir is set in extensive grounds on picturesque Lake Murten. It was built 100 years ago as a romantic country house for celebrating life in all its easy-going fullness. This appreciation of exceptional hospitality lives on here. Why not find out more about what we offer? Discover country life in whatever way suits you best - through gastronomy, culture, active pursuits, on land or on water. Above all, we offer rest and relaxation.

The well-known magazine 'Geo Saison” named Le Vieux Manoir as the 'best country hotel in Europe 2012”. This unique boutique hotel is managed by Daniel J. Ziegler, one of the most successful Swiss hoteliers.

The 36 remarkably themed rooms are miniature artworks in their own right. They are the unique work of renowned interior designers Jasmin Grego and Stephanie Kühnle and a number of artists. Behind their euphonious names - Floral Pink, Koi, Jardin Rouge, Coeur à Coeur - lies a world of Haute Couture par excellence. High-quality materials and fabrics imbue the guest rooms with distinctive style and verve, as does the blend of designer furniture and handcrafted objects. Each of the 21 double rooms, 10 junior suites and 3 suites, the Glass Diamond - a comfortabe guest house right by the lake, amongst the trees, high above the ground - and the lake house with private access to the lake, open whole new vistas to our guests.

Culinary Director Franz W. Faeh and his team feature an eclectic cuisine in the light-flooded restaurant Juma while the rather more rustic 'La Pinte de Meyriez” offers traditional dishes combined with the lightness of modern cooking.

The Le Vieux Manoir is located near the picturesque mediaeval city of Murten in the municipality of Meyriez, directly on Lake Murten —or between Geneva and Zurich on the A1, nestling in the idyllic Fribourgian countryside not far distant from Fribourg, Neuchâtel, Avenches and just 20 minutes by car from the federal capital, Berne. The Lake Murten region and Lakes Bienne and Neuchâtel make up the versatile and inspiring Three Lakes Region with its many vineyards, and all the savoir-vivre of French-speaking Switzerland.
