Hôtel Palafitte connects the quality tastes of the discerning Swiss, with something a little bit different - rooms built directly over Neuchâtel lake, with private terraces and ladders dipping into the water for guests.
Although the Swiss are known worldwide for their fine chocolate and engineering excellence, unusual hotels do not immediately spring to mind.
All the lakeside apartments are staggered so that they have an unobstructed view of the lake - from just about everywhere in the room - even the bathtub! Your privacy is assured as none of the rooms have direct views of the other rooms.
The night view of the moon shimmering on the lake with the alps in the distance is very impressive and the morning sunrise is stunning. While the rooms on the shore are perfectly adequate, it is worth the additional cost of the lakeside room to enjoy the view and private terrace.
