In 1840 the town bought a parcel of land on which to build a hostel entitled 'Chasseur des Alpes'. Over the following years this hostel was enlarged three times to become - in 1855 - the Hotel des Alpes. The main building was designed by Henri Chessex son of the owner and brother of Ami Chessex. The opening of the Hotel led to a tourist boom and in 1861 a railway line was opened between Montreux and Villeneuve calling at Territet. In 1875 a dining hall was added to the building and two years later Ami Chessex chose the architect Louis Maillard later joined by Eugene Jost to build the Grand Hotel beside the Hotel des Alpes. The decor was by Marcel de Chollet. The two buildings were linked by a corridor and soon formed a single structure. / Among the Hotel's many notable guests were Elisabeth of Bavaria who visited four times and Francis Joseph I of Austria in 1893. The Hotel built on this success housing the first telephone in Switzerland. In 1975 it closed and its main hall and dining hall were turned into a theatre whilst the Grand Hotel's bedrooms became the National Swiss Audiovisual Museum though this closed in 2008 and left the premises in 2012 to allow for their renovation. The two buildings are classed as cultural monuments. It suffered fires on 29 January 1984 and 28 September 2012. / This property is part of the ensemble Hotel des Alpes-Grand Hotel a monument of national importance. It belongs to Andre Regne better known under the pseudonym of "Dad" who was a key figure in the Montreux nightlife. The Alcazar a true Belle-Epoque jewel was built by the architect Eugene Jost at the end of the 19th century. Added pictures on request.
