New Partnership: The Swiss Rugby Federation and the Grand Hôtel des Bains Yverdon Join Forces
The Swiss Rugby Federation (FSR) is proud to announce its new partnership with the Grand Hôtel des Bains in Yverdon-les-Bains, which will host the Swiss men’s national team during the Rugby Europe Championship home matches next year in February.
With its ideal location close to the Swiss home grounds of Stade Municipal, excellent recovery facilities — including access to thermal baths and a fitness room — the Grand Hôtel des Bains offers the national team optimal conditions for preparation and recovery ahead of key fixtures.
Located just a short walk from the Stade Municipal in Yverdon, where Switzerland’s home games will take place, the Grand Hôtel des Bains offers the perfect environment and optimal conditions for the Swiss Nati — combining convenience with first-class facilities such as thermal baths for recovery and a fully equipped fitness room.
“We needed to find accommodation that met the needs of our athletes, to ensure they were in the best possible condition ahead of this winter's big matches against Georgia and the Netherlands. The Grand Hotel was the obvious choice, as it meets all our requirements. We are delighted to have the Grand Hotel as our partner,”
— Gilles Mariau, CEO of the Swiss Rugby Federation (FSR)
The FSR would like to thank the City of Yverdon-les-Bains for its active support in facilitating the connection with the Grand Hôtel des Bains and for its continued commitment alongside the Federation. This new partnership highlights the close bonds of cooperation between the FSR and the City of Yverdon, and demonstrates how Swiss rugby can count on a strong and supportive local foundation.
“Grand Hôtel is delighted to support the Swiss national team and welcome them for this season. We are very involved with sports clubs in the region, and it was important for us to help the local federation find accommodation that meets the standards required for the Swiss rugby team's level of competition,”
— Matthias Philipps, CEO of the Grand Hôtel des Bains Yverdon
As part of the partnership, the Grand Hôtel brand will be visible on the Swiss national team shorts, LED panels, and banners during official events, as well as on the FSR’s digital platforms.
This collaboration perfectly combines Swiss excellence in hospitality and Swiss passion for rugby, setting a strong foundation for future successes both on and off the pitch.
