If you want to lap up a little luxury in Geneva Switzerland this winter, here are three excellent options worth exploring.
Regal hospitality on the shore of Lake Geneva. Dating back to 1872, wonderfully located overlooking Lake Geneva, the Hotel d’Angleterre specializes in a style of service where old world charm meets new world service.
Opulently luxurious guest rooms set the tone; majestic views of the Jet ‘Eau, Mont Blanc and surrounding mountains reinforce the exalted ambience, and provide a spectacular backdrop to dining in the renowned Windows restaurant. It is located in the heart of Geneva’s shopping and financial districts, 15 minutes from the airport and five minutes from the railway station, and an hour away from superb Alpine skiing.
Beau Rivage comes from four generations of The Mayer Family. The hotel’s antique furniture and Italian Frescoes have been lovingly restored. For example, take a look at one of their suites.
Then, there’s the Four Seasons in the heart of Geneva, which is the city’s first hotel – and still the first choice of world statesmen and global travellers. It has been a landmark on the Rhone since 1834. Located on Geneva’s best lakeside location overlooking the majestic Alps, right in the city center and only 4 km from Geneva International Airport. The Financial district and the shopping are just steps away.
