Hôtel des Trois Couronnes

Henry James set Daisy Miller here — the novella's protagonist stays at the Trois Couronnes, and the hotel's terrace overlooking Lake Geneva and the Alps is described with the kind of precision that suggests James was working from memory, not imagination. Tsar Nicholas I rented the entire hotel for a winter. The building dates to 1842 and is a registered cultural property of national importance, its neoclassical façade one of the most distinguished on the Swiss Riviera. 55 rooms in Vevey, between Lausanne and Montreux, with the Chaplin's World museum and the Nestlé headquarters nearby.
