The hotel business is above all about passing on the torch. Before 46a Appart’Hôtel, Cédric Fiora took over the family hotel, the Crystal Hotel in Lausanne, previously run by his father Pierre-Yves. It was a powerful human adventure, which unfortunately had to come to a reluctant end when the lease was not renewed.
But when one story ends, another begins. With the takeover of 46a Appart’Hôtel, Cédric is continuing this family tradition while breathing new life into it with a renewed vision: that of an independent, modern hotel focused on the well-being of its guests.
Coming from a family of hoteliers spanning two generations, Cédric Fiora grew up in the world of hospitality. He discovered the profession early on, gaining hands-on experience before training internationally and acquiring solid experience in various establishments in Switzerland and abroad.
This background has enabled him to develop a personal approach to hospitality: attentive, human, and pragmatic, where comfort, freedom, and quality of experience take precedence over the superfluous.
