Seminar Hotel since 1964
The Hotel Continental was originally built for the Swiss National Exhibition in Lausanne in 1964.

The frescoes were inaugurated in 1964 for the opening of the exhibition in Lausanne.
Local Breakfast
Craving breakfast? At our sustainable Hotel Continental, we offer a hotel breakfast that is not only delicious and varied, but also climate-friendly and sustainable. Hotel Continental is proud to offer you a quality breakfast that is produced under the best conditions. We source our breakfast products primarily from local and regional partners, who themselves only source regional organic ingredients from their own or locally sourced farms. Incidentally, you can also have breakfast at our hotel at the railway station without being a hotel guest! The best thing to do is to book the day before.
