Hotels in Geneva

Billed as Geneva’s first hotel, the Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues Geneva has been standing on the shores of Lake Geneva since 1834. Modern highlights include a spa and fitness facilities, but the real pull lies in the chance to sample the charm of a bygone era. If you’ve got the cash, this is arguably the finest hotel in Geneva.

Just a short walk from Lake Geneva, Hôtel Edelweiss is a sensible budget option in Geneva. Decorated in the style of a Swiss chalet, the hotel offers 42 rooms and a Swiss-style restaurant, where evening entertainment and folk music are provided for the guests. All rooms are en suite and equipped with telephone and mini-bar. There is also a small business centre and free Wi-Fi access.

This modern 4-star Geneva hotel, just a short ride from the airport, offers 308 guest rooms. Other facilities include a sauna, bike hire and fitness room. International cuisine is served at La Récolte, brunch at Le Jardin and snacks at the Marco Polo bar. The hotel has an extensive range of conference and banquet facilities for up to 1,200 people and also offers a free shuttle service to and from the airport.

Hôtel Les Arcades is a small hotel with a reasonable location, and by Geneva’s standards one which doesn’t cost the earth. It actually occupies what was formerly an office building, but if you can get over the slightly odd layout, it offers good value for money. Rooms are small but functional, and there’s no shortage of shops and eateries in the surrounding area. Warning: it can be a little tricky to find.
