Accommodations in Lausanne

The Prix de Lausanne doesn’t recommend specific hotels. We advise you to use hotel search engines such as www.hotels.com, www.booking.com or www.airbnb.com, TripAdvisor or Trivago may also help you to compare the best offers among these different search engines. You can also find a detailed list of hotels and bed-and-breakfasts as well as complimentary information on the City of Lausanne Tourism website: www.lausanne-tourisme.ch

Tips on finding a hotel in Lausanne:

Choose a hotel in the city center of Lausanne. Bussigny and Crissier are suburbs, and you will need a car to reach the Theater if you stay there. You can also check the Postal Code/ZIP code that should be between 1000 and 1018. Keep in mind that Lausanne is a small city and most of the hotels in the center provide easy access to the Theater. Nearest bus stop: Beaulieu (lines 2 and 21)

Special discounts:

We have special rates in two different hotels, subject to rooms availability.
Please communicate your needs to the chosen hotel and specify that you are coming for the Prix de Lausanne, before 8 December 2023, in order to make the reservation.
A free ticket for public transport will be offered and is valid for the whole stay.
