The hotel is very popular with Americans. Many
American travelers visit Vevey in summer and a lot of them
stay at the Trois Couronnes. At this time, the town is full of
fashionable young girls in beautiful dresses. At night in the
hotel, you can hear the sounds of excited voices and lively
music. The voices have American accents and an orchestra
plays dance music. You can almost believe that you are in
America! However, the Trois Couronnes is a European hotel.
It has neatly-dressed German waiters. And in the garden
you might meet a Russian princess, or the son of a Polish
gentleman.
There is a wonderful view from the hotel. From its big
windows, you can see the top of the Dent du Midi—a tall,
snow-covered mountain. And you can also see the towers of
the Château de Chillon, an old castle which stands beside
the lake. All these things remind you that you are in
Switzerland, not America.
