Sleeping in Lausanne

L'Agora is our conference hotel.

The Hotel Agora Swiss Night has been completely reconstructed in 2012. The newly designed Agora Swiss Night offers you a truly swiss experience with an international 4 stars standard. Though it is located in a very quiet neighbourhood Agora Swiss Night is only 300 meters from the main Railway station and in close proximity to the lake Geneva and the metro line(m2 Grancy at 90 m).

The breakfast is served in a panoramic room on the top floor of the hotel. From there you have a flabbergasting view on the Alps, Lake Geneva and the Jura Mountains. A state of the art Fitness centre complete with Sauna is free of charge for the guests. Parking available on site.
