As per a previous thread I have found a Hotel in Vevey that could be suitable as accommodation for the start and finish of the trip - the nights of 10th and 18th September 2009.
Hôtel-restaurant les Négociants is right in the centre of Vevey's old quarter and has recently been refurbished.
I have just spoken to the Hotel and here are their 2009 prices per room including breakfast, VAT and service. CHF=Swiss Francs.
1 person in double room CHF 128.30
2 persons in double room CHF 169.60
They only have 1 single room which is already booked.
The crunch is that they will only allow me to book 10 rooms, because otherwise it would restrict their opportunity to have other guests stay for a full week. Nearly all their double rooms are actually twin rooms, but it is quite normal over here to have twin beds pushed together for couples.
Including loftyboy there are 20 of us, less myself makes 19 including 2 couples which leaves 15. That means all the singles except 1 would have to share a room and both couples would have their own room. This may not suit everyone and there could be a huge fight for the only room not shared. The upside is you save money as the shared room cost would be CHF 84.80 each. Summary - 2 rooms for couples, 7 rooms shared by 14 individuals, 1 room with 1 individual.
EDIT: Just remembered swissrob is based in CH so depending on what he wants to do there may be another room available for single occupancy. Perhaps you could confirm Rob? Summary - 2 rooms for couples, 6 rooms shared by 12 individuals, 2 rooms with 1 individual each.
As stated before there is no private parking BUT there's a large car park very close by with dedicated bike parking. As long as any soft luggage is removed you needn't worry about security. This is Switzerland remember.
If this hotel isn't deemed suitable by the group I'll have to look outside Vevey for alternatives. However, Vevey is quite suitable for your first and last night in CH due to plentiful bars, restaurants etc.
What do you think chaps?
