The Hôtel des Trois Couronnes in Vevey, Switzerland, is a historic hotel that dates back to 1842. It was constructed on the site of the former "Belles Truches" castle, following a Neo-classical design by Swiss architect Philippe Franel. The hotel was inaugurated on May 3, 1842 under the name "Hôtel Monnet" after its original owner.
Originally, the hotel boasted direct access to Lake Geneva, a feature that was lost in 1863 with the construction of the lakeside promenade.
