Hotel Mona, formerly known as the Eurotel, stands as a prominent architectural landmark in Montreux.
Constructed between 1965 and 1967 based on the designs of architect Roland Gonin, the triangular hotel tower was a significant addition to the city’s skyline. At its inauguration, the Eurotel boasted 320 beds across 16 floors, making it the largest hotel built in Switzerland since 1920, reflecting the period's expanding tourism industry.

Rebranded as the Hotel Mona, its new name pays homage to Montreux’s ancient roots, derived from "Monasteriolo", meaning "small monastery", the earliest known written mention of the city dating back to the 11th century.
