Nineteenth-century frescoes, marble columns, a murmuring fountain, and a pervading sense of romance set the scene at this hushed, genteel, and family-owned Victorian palace. Suite names and period details—from tiles and lithographs to chandeliers and tasseled drapes—keep the building's copious history alive; plasma screen TVs, triple phone lines, glassed-in showers, plush bathrobes, and lots of space keep all accommodations resolutely up to date. Suites and Deluxe rooms face the harbor and the sunrise; the first floor terrace, where breakfast is served outdoors and to which the Chat Botté transfers its diners in summer, makes the panoramic alpine view available to all.
