<![CDATA[ <img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3873/widder_hotel.jpg" class="imgborder"> <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/maps/Hotels-Near-Eurail-Stops"><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/3/widderhotelmap.jpg" align="right"></a> You can fly around Europe cheaply now or you can really see something by taking the train, and the best Europe-wide ticketing agency <a href="http://www.eurail.com/">Eurail</a> has just relaunched their website. A very popular Eurail stop is Zurich (it seems everybody wants to stop in Switzerland, since it's right in the middle!). And for somewhere to stay in Zurich, the <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/WIDDER+HOTEL/ian/179880">Widder Hotel</a> has a lot going for it. It's been created by renovating eight historic houses and turning them into 42 rooms and seven suites and it's filled with modern furniture from all the big name designers - the only downside here is that some might think the ultra-modern interior is too

<![CDATA[ Cubicle Dreamin' is a feature in which we ask the hotel mavens to take some time out of their busy work day, surf the Internet, and tell us what hotel they wish they could beam themselves to right that very second--all on the slave driving companies dime, of course. Oh, like these people aren't surfing aimlessly anyway--at least now their purposeless clicking will be cobbled together into useful hotel stories--we hope. Have a destination hotel you are just dying to leave your cube for? <a href="tips@hotelchatter.com">Send the story our way</a>.

Montreux: Suisse Majestic Has 'Delicious Wood Floors'

[Ed. Note: Hotel Maven Ann recently spent some time at the Suisse-Majestic in Switzerland and has written us, lavishing praise upon the "heavenly" hotel. Sample phrase? "Delicious wood floors." Here's the experience from start to finish]

My husband and I wandered down the escalators at the Montreux train station. I knew that our hotel, the Suisse-Majestic, was somewhere near the station. I asked a woman if she knew where it might be - she immediately wheeled around and pointed across the street to the hotel, about 15 paces away. And so began our delightful stay in this superb old hotel that is indicative of Swiss cordiality, promptness, and old-world charm.

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/palace_lausanne.jpg">If you're staying in a palace, you can expect a little luxury. And since this isn't yours or your friend's palace, you can also expect some big prices. Especially since the location we're talking about is in the not-so-cheap land of Switzerland. But if you want a weekend away in beautiful surroundings and deluxe quarters, the <a href="http://www.lausanne-palace.com/f/index.html">Palace Lausanne</a> is your place. So what can you expect in a palace? Free WiFi for starters proves this place isn't stuck in the past. Rooms have individually controlled climate remotes, terry cloth robes, stereo sound in the bathroom, and just more good ol' luxury. The hotel also has a spa and restaurant. But in all of these incredible reviews, we

<![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/admin/chalet_daniela.jpg">The <a href="http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/travel/peak_fare_travel_chris_bunting.htm">New York Post</a> has come up with some ways of escaping the city before the glorious summer break is over. If you haven't gone to the Hamptons and are still in need of your getaway, try their Swiss suggestion. The Post advised skipping the Matterhorn but, opting for rest of the hiking trails around Zermatt. This way you can live to tell your tale. Zermatt is one of those typical Swiss towns where you'll feel like putting two braids in or wearing suspenders. The only place you could really stay in a town like this, would be a chalet. So, voila the <a href="http://www.zermatt.ch/daniela/">Hotel Daniela</a>, described as such by a past guest: <blockquote>A little gem in a
