Le National — Designer Residence, Montreux
Montreux · Swiss Riviera · Vaud
Set within the prestigious Le National residence in the heart of Montreux, this exceptional apartment offers a highly distinctive interior, panoramic views over Lake Geneva and the Alps, and access to one of the finest private residential wellness facilities on the Swiss Riviera.
Originally designed as a 6.5-room apartment, the property was entirely reconfigured by its former owners in collaboration with the renowned interior architect Richard Ferbach. The result is an expansive 3.5-room residence conceived around generous volumes, bespoke craftsmanship and a highly individual decorative concept.
Italian decorative painters commissioned by the architect created an elaborate interior composition featuring hand-painted frescoes, classical figures and Mediterranean-inspired motifs across the walls, ceilings and custom-made furniture. The centrepiece of the main living room is a spectacular handcrafted ceramic stove with an open fireplace, created by an Italian artisan according to the architect's original drawings.
The apartment offers approximately 209 m² of living space and a weighted surface of approximately 219 m². Its spacious living room of around 53 m² opens onto a south-facing balcony of approximately 20 m², enjoying uninterrupted views across Lake Geneva and the surrounding mountains.
The principal bedroom has been designed as a private and peaceful suite, opening onto a generous terrace and featuring two large glazed openings, a bespoke painted dressing table and a custom-made multifunctional unit at the foot of the 240 cm bed, incorporating a concealed television operated by remote control.
The guest bedroom is finished with specially treated leather wall and floor coverings, while the connecting corridors use mirrors, hand-painted surfaces and Mediterranean garden motifs to create additional perspective and visual depth.
A particularly striking feature is the exceptionally spacious private bathroom and wellness area. Conceived around the owner's desire for a hotel-style retreat, it includes a hammam, jacuzzi bath, bespoke cabinetry and handcrafted mosaic artworks individually cut and assembled by hand.
Owners at Le National benefit from access to approximately 350 m² of private spa facilities, indoor swimming pool, hammam, sauna, jacuzzi, fitness room, landscaped communal park, residents' lounge and concierge service.
