Beau-Rivage Genève

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.
