Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel Ambassador

Editor's Note: This property is currently undergoing renovations.

Terra-cotta stucco and peaked dormers set off this petite hotel on Nyon's main thoroughfare. Request one of the "under the roof" rooms; these have hand-hewn dark wooden beams, floral bedding, and compact modern baths. The quiet garden terrace with its view of the castle (which is illuminated at night) is an exquisite spot for a glass of wine or a light meal.
