It\u2019s a form intimately associated with the Maldives or Southeast Asia. It\u2019s hardly what you&#8217;d expect from Switzerland. <\/p>\n<p>Yet at Hotel Palafitte, with the Alps in the distance, ladders drop down from elevated private terraces into glass green waters. Giddy honeymooners drop into Lake Neuch\u00e2tel for morning swims. Here, just a 45-minute drive from Bern, the inspiration for stilted dwellings didn&#8217;t come from the tropics. They date back to prehistoric times, when farmers lived in raised houses above this very lake. A nearby museum walks guests through that proud architectural heritage.<\/p>\n<p>Lake Neuch\u00e2tel lies in the foothills of the Jura mountains in a setting known as the Three Lakes region. In the surrounding landscape, factories build the most prestigious watches in the world and visitors enjoy a robust selection of wineries, cycling routes, and plenty of snow and ice in the winter.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s excellent news then that Hotel Palafitte \u2014 open 11 months a year, including all but December \u2014 doesn&#8217;t try for a one-to-one replica of the Maldives. Its rooms are much more high-tech, much more contemporary, than they are the rustic, open-air bungalows on the Indian Ocean.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20241123-Palafitte\/palafitte-5.jpg\" alt=\"H\u00f4tel Palafitte\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But if we\u2019re talking history, let\u2019s talk the Eiffel Tower and the Ferris Wheel. Both were the first buildings of their kind, both built to impress travelers en route to a world\u2019s fair. Palafitte has the same lineage, built to draw stares at 2002\u2019s Swiss National Exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel was so ahead of its time it still looks cutting edge two decades later. Developed in collaboration with students from the EHL Hospitality Business School in Lausanne, steel stilts hold up futuristic boxes, each with unobstructed views of the lake. The 14, earth-bound Shore Pavilions, set back from the water, are more or less identical, adding views of the Swiss Alps to go with those of the lake. In summer, guests rent kayaks and paddle boards, water-skis, and boats. In winter, they enjoy the hotel\u2019s MICHELIN restaurant, glittering views, and in-room spa treatments.<\/p>\n<p>The hotel is in the process of adding a permanent spa, along with more technological improvements in the spirit of its cutting-edge history. But for some, this is a European hotel in the true spirit of the tropics: the location\u2019s enough.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<em>Scroll down for a full <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"#faq\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FAQ<\/a> about <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/neuchatel-hotels\/hotel-palafitte\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">H\u00f4tel Palafitte<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20241123-Palafitte\/palafitte-1.jpg\" alt=\"H\u00f4tel Palafitte\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20241123-Palafitte\/palafitte14.jpg\" alt=\"H\u00f4tel Palafitte\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20241123-Palafitte\/palafitte-13.jpg\" alt=\"H\u00f4tel Palafitte\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" \/><br \/>\n<a name=\"faq\"><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Nuts &amp; Bolts<\/h4>\n<p><em>A bite-sized breakdown of your most frequently asked questions about <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/neuchatel-hotels\/hotel-palafitte\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">H\u00f4tel Palafitte<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Who comes here?<\/strong><br \/>\nGuests \u2014 often couples \u2014 looking for a few days of rest and relaxation on the lake. This is also a top hotel for corporate and business travel, often welcoming business people in the area to visit the local watch factories.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When\u2019s the best time to visit?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe hotel\u2019s open all year round, with a month or so break for the Christmas holidays. The summer appeal of the setting and its many water sports is obvious, but even in winter the hotel is a special spot for a tranquil escape in a unique corner of Switzerland known as the Three Lakes region. In fall, the nearby town of Neuch\u00e2tel hosts the F\u00eate des Vendanges \u2014 an open-air wine festival that\u2019s one of the most celebrated in Europe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What else is there to do in the area?<\/strong><br \/>\nVisit the vineyards, take a boat ride, explore the little towns peppered around the lake, enjoy cycling tours, and do all the water sports you\u2019d expect on the largest lake in Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best room for a solo traveler? A couple? A family?<\/strong><br \/>\nThere\u2019s only two room categories: Shore and Lake. The latter are the stilted rooms set over water, but the Shore rooms are just slightly removed from the water, and make up for any lack of novelty with views of the Swiss Alps in addition to the ones over the lake. Rooms are envisioned primarily with couples in mind, but each fits three guests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s a design feature I would miss if you didn\u2019t tell me about it?<\/strong><br \/>\nRegular guests know the differences between each room, and build their subsequent trips around them. For instance, one pavilion may be particularly well suited for sunset views, while another has a privileged look at a favorite landing spot for the lake\u2019s many species of birds. You can always ask the Tablet Hotels customer service team for help selecting a room.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20241123-Palafitte\/palafitte-12.jpg\" alt=\"H\u00f4tel Palafitte\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Anything to say about sustainability, equality, and community?<\/strong><br \/>\nWith so much of its appeal vested in the natural setting, Palafitte commits to many sustainability initiatives to give back and operate responsibly. Among them: the hotel runs on 100 percent renewable hydropower, sources herbs for the restaurant and bar from their own garden, and works with a local company to transform kitchen waste into renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are there some standout amenities you&#8217;d recommend?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe bathrooms all have adjustable wood partitions that allow for views of the lake and landscape while you relax in the tub. You can arrange to have massages and beauty rituals performed directly in your room or on your private terrace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Without further ado, what&#8217;s there to eat?<\/strong><br \/>\nLa Table du Palafitte is the hotel\u2019s MICHELIN-selected restaurant, with its large waterfront terrace and Mediterranean menu. Le Cadran is the cocktail bar with a tapas menu and weekly live music, and Le Summer Bay opens in May for outdoor drinks on the water.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the final word?<\/strong><br \/>\nLocation, location, location \u2014 one of the most architecturally creative hotels in Europe makes incredible use of its spectacular setting, and introduces travelers to the joys of Lake Neuch\u00e2tel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:#6F4685;\"><em><strong>Book <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;color:#6F4685;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/neuchatel-hotels\/hotel-palafitte\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">H\u00f4tel Palafitte<\/a> on Tablet Hotels.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: underline;color:#6F4685;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/neuchatel-hotels\/hotel-palafitte\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.prod.r53.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20241123-Palafitte\/palafitte15.jpg\" alt=\"H\u00f4tel Palafitte\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div style=\"height:1px;border-top:3px double #ccc;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:60px;display:block;clear:both\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five thousand years ago farmers built stilted houses above the waters of \u2014 not a Maldivian atoll \u2014 but Switzerland\u2019s Lake Neuch\u00e2tel.
