EXPERIENCE SUMMER AT HÔTEL PALAFITTE

Whether you are visiting or from the region, summer is an invitation to slow down,
reconnect, and savour the simple pleasures of the season.
Discover the experiences and highlights awaiting you in the coming weeks.


Farniente

The luxury of having nothing planned.

A coffee in the sun, a dinner that lingers into the evening, an spontanous swim in the lake.
At Hôtel Palafitte, summer invites you to slow down and fully embrace your surroundings.


La Table du Palafitte

A table straight to the lake.

From terrace lunches to sunset dinners and brunches with friends, La Table du Palafitte accompanies the rhythm of summer from morning to evening.

The seasonal menu, Chef Ludovic Pigeat’s tasting menu and the Sunday brunch favourites, created with his team, invite you to savour each moment in a unique setting.

 


The Summer Bay Bar

Summer evenings have found their perfect destination.

Summer evenings start on the deck. 

From sun-drenched afternoons to shaded moments, cocktails, tapas and light bites are shared in a relaxed atmosphere, overlooking the lake.


Lakeside activities

Neuchâtel, beyond the usual route.

By boat, paddleboard or canoe, the landscape reveals itself in a new light, where reflections deepen and each moment feels more vivid.

A place where it becomes almost natural to leave the shore behind for a momen.


"Reflets du lac, échos du monde" exhibition

The watercolours of local artist Aloys Perregaux capture light, reflections and open horizons.

A natural extension of the landscapes that surround the Hôtel Palafitte.


From Hôtel Palafitte

Summer invites you to explore the surroundings from a different perspective.

Whether by bike, electric scooter or on a spontaneous day trip, exploring Neuchâtel from the hotel is effortless.

Vineyards, charming villages and scenic routes open up a landscape to explore freely, at your own pace.

 


A season of events

Open-air concerts, cruises, festivals and cultural events bring the lakeside to life throughout the summer. In July, the NIFFF celebrates fantastic cinema in the heart of the city, while in August the Buskers Festival fills the streets with live performances and street music.

At Hôtel Palafitte, summer days unfold gently into the evening.
Outdoor dining, moments of relaxation and special evenings shape the season, balancing calm interludes with highlights such as the Swiss National Day.
