Beau-Rivage Genève

Lake Geneva

Built-in 1865, Beau-Rivage is the last property in Geneva to remain in a single family for five generations – tradition is their strong suit and it shows. The 150-year old property is an icon of luxury and grandeur in one of Switzerland’s most desirable destinations. A meticulous renovation in 2010 saw a modernization of rooms and suites, along with a restoration of the hotel’s frescoes, marble columns, and grand façade.

The 23 rooms and suites are elegantly styled with high ceilings, lavish furnishings, and spacious, sleek bathrooms.

When the weather is fine, gourmet meals can be enjoyed at La Terrasse by Dominique Gauthier. Delicious breakfast buffets, divine lunches on the terrace, and food cooked on the grill on Sunday lunchtimes are also an option.

On the fourth floor, you’ll find the spa offering a portfolio of innovative treatments and bespoke therapies.

Why we recommend Beau-Rivage Genève

We immediately fell in love with the history and the magical setting of Beau-Rivage Geneva. Surrounded by Lake Geneva and the Alpine peaks, this is one of the most prestigious hotels in Lausanne. Being quite the Grande Dame, it offers outstanding dining and services but still feels welcoming and relaxed. The Michelin-starred chef Dominique Gauthier creates inventive and contemporary French cuisine, and should not be missed.
