Presidents of the International Olympic Committee
Since 1994, Lausanne is recognised as the Olympic Capital; the Lausanne Palace was the residence of three presidents of the International Olympic Committee: Juan Antonio Samaranch (1980–2001), Jacques Rogge (2001–2013) and Thomas Bach (2013–2025).

In 2025, Kirsty Coventry became the IOC President and unlike her predecessors, she and her family are not living at the Lausanne Palace hotel. The cost of housing the IOC President at the hotel was €2,350 per night.Coventry: "It wasn't about power"
