A view of Hôtel Byron, between Chillon and Villeneuve on Lake Geneva, which was the largest hotel on the Riviera when it opened in 1841. However only two years later it was up for sale by auction. It reopened in 1849 but closed for renovation soon after. The Wolff brothers took it over in 1861 and by 1870 Gustave was the sole proprietor. He could not make the hotel pay and sold up, and his successor failed also. It then became Chillon College, a school for British colonials, described by the Singaporean newspaper The Straits Times described it as the 'Eton of Switzerland'. The building burned down in 1933.
