Step aboard for a different view of Neuchâtel

As soon as the warmer days arrive, the lakeside comes alive. Cruises, crossings, private getaways and sunset rides: the lake becomes an open stage, where Neuchâtel performs a serene and radiant scene.

Here are a few experiences to enjoy:

  • Classic cruises (CGN & LNM) – perfect for exploring the lakeshores, stopping off in Cudrefin, Estavayer or Murten, and admiring Neuchâtel’s diverse landscapes.

  • Themed or gourmet cruises, often organised in summer, combining fine dining with breathtaking views of the city.

  • Boat or pedal boat hire – enjoy the lake at your own pace, as a couple or with friends.

  • And of course, the magical evening moments, when the sun sets behind the Jura and the reflections dance on the water.

One of the simplest yet rarest privileges of Hotel Beaulac is its direct connection to the port.
No transfer, no detour, no waiting: the boats are just outside the reception.

In the morning, you can watch the first departures from your room. In the evening, you’re only a few steps from boarding.

This unique setting makes Hotel Beaulac the ideal starting point to see Neuchâtel from a new perspective – before returning to a haven of peace and comfort.

From some of the rooms and suites, the lake appears like a living painting. The light shifts hour by hour.
At the Waves restaurant, the panoramic terrace lets you soak up the lakeside atmosphere while enjoying refined, locally inspired cuisine.

In the evening, the lights of the boats cross paths with those of the city – and you realise that you don’t just sleep in Neuchâtel. You experience it.
