Pelerin Palace

Pelerin Palace (also known as Hotel du Parc) is a Belle Époque style hotel built in 1906 in Le Mont-Pèlerin, Vaud, Switzerland overlooking Lake Geneva. The opening of the Vevey–Chardonne–Mont Pèlerin funicular railway in 1900 facilitated the development of the location as a resort. Pelerin Palace was the third major hotel built in the locality following Hotel Belvedere (1902) and the Grand Hotel (1904). It was built on the initiative of Henri Fatio, a Geneva-based financier who attracted investors based in Vevey. The original hotel suffered serious damage in a fire in 1917 which destroyed the roof. Hotel du Parc was the venue of the founding conference of the Mont Pelerin Society in 1947. Due to the hotel's poor condition, the fiftieth reunion of the Mont Pelerin Society was held in the neighbouring Hotel Le Mirador (formerly the Mon Repos medical establishment) on 9–12 April 1997 and attracted around 100 people.
