Hotel Des Trois Couronnes & Spa

Hotel: Hotel Des Trois Couronnes & Spa
Address: 49, Rue D’Italie, 1800 Vevey, Switzerland
 
Time of visit: February 2021
 
Equipment
There’re dumbbells and kettlebells and well as pin-loaded machines if you’re looking for a weight-based workout.
Cardio-wise, there’re treadmills, cross-trainers and stationary bikes.
 
Does the hotel gym offer complementary towels? Yes.
Does the hotel gym offer complementary water? Yes.
 
Comments
The hotel gym is open 24/7.
Although the hotel gym itself is quite small, it’s probably the only hotel gym with chandeliers in the ceiling?
 
Dumbbells range from 1 to 20 kgs.
There’re isn’t any barbell option – but at least there’s a Smith machine with limited plates.
There’s a cable-machine with different handles, a lateral pull-down machine as well as shoulder and leg press machines.
 
In terms of powerlifting, it’s not ideal for compound movements. You can replace it with dumbbell exercises although options might be limited with the range of dumbbells available.
As for bodybuilding, it’s not bad – a bit limited in terms of weight/resistance options but you can decide to go higher on the number of reps.
If you’re looking for a solid cardio session, you’re all set.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes! Although this hotel gym probably won’t cause your results to skyrocket, it’s surely ok if you want to stay in shape for a few days or a week of relaxation.

Comments
Equipment is decent.
Lack of towels may be due to the Covid-19 situation.
I was there on a Sunday so it is not quite as clean as I would hope a gym to be but perhaps they are down staffed.
Being in Miami, I am only going to use the weights and do my cardio outside as there is no view in the gym.
