Über Genf

Geneva is a world capital, without being one: it is not the capital of Switzerland, but it is home to the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the World Bank and the Red Cross, among others. It is, therefore cosmopolitan and rich. But for most of us, these things take a back seat to the fact that Geneva is chocolate box picturesque, on the shores of beautiful Lake Geneva, from which you can see the Swiss Alps. But it is the "world capital" aspect that has the most impact on Geneva's accommodation supply. There are plenty of hotels and rooms, but the city is known for being luxurious and expensive.

Geneva is beautiful, and its old town is one of the largest in Europe — a national heritage site comprising cobbled alleys, hidden courtyards and small elegant squares. It's where you'll find a host of small cafes, bars and antique shops, quirky museums, and gorgeous architecture, alongside charming boutique hotels, luxury chocolatiers and jewellers and high-end boutiques. During the summer season, the lake becomes the main attraction; all year round, it is bustling with yellow water taxis, but in the summer, it is dotted with boats from dawn to dusk.

Hotels in Geneva are busy all year round, which is part of the reason why this city has a reputation for being expensive. This is also why our recommendations for the best places to stay in Geneva can be very useful. If you accept the idea of paying a little more, we can not only recommend very special hotels but also places to stay at good prices, great hotels for families, and even hotels where you can take your pet!

Remember that the city is always very lively, so if you want to be sure to have a bed in one of the best places to stay in Geneva, get organized and book well in advance.

The best places to stay in Geneva

For a view of the lake

The Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues is one of Geneva's grande dames, elegantly located on the waterfront. Its 115 rooms and suites, of classic or palatial elegance, are decorated with brocade and toile de jouy in soft blues and greens; the best have a private balcony and incredible views of the lake. There is also a rooftop pool with a terrace, and another terrace, by the bar, which is definitely a place to see and be seen.
The Hotel Restaurant du Parc des Eaux Vives is an elegant 16th-century mansion located just off the Parc de la Grange, on the other side of the old town, and offers magnificent views of the lake that you can admire through the trees of its beautifully manicured gardens. There are only seven suites, designed as mini-apartments. The hotel's impressive restaurant is worth a visit, even if you're not staying there.

For a city break

The Hotel Longemalle is an elegant Belle Époque building located in a beautiful location in the old town, just a few blocks from the lake. The location can't be beaten, especially when you factor in the hotel's rooftop terraces and views from the top floors. The hotel has 58 rooms and suites, decorated in a Baroque style, with chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings, huge mirrors, mahogany panelling, period furniture and impressive paintings. There's no restaurant, but a hearty breakfast buffet is served on the terrace or in the dining room.
The Hotel D'allèves is a charming 46-room hotel situated near the basilica, in the heart of town. The building dates back to the 18th century and has plenty of charm and quirky features, but the décor is contemporary, with rooms in a variety of styles.
A hotel inspired by oriental design won't suit everyone, but we recommend the Eastwest Hotel for its size (41 rooms and suites) and amenities. It has a small gym and sauna, as well as a fusion restaurant that spreads into a simple courtyard.
The Tiffany Hotel is a luxurious Art Nouveau property in a central location, with 65 elegant rooms decorated in warm colors and adorned with contemporary artwork. The restaurant is well regarded and the bar is glamorous.
9Hotel Paquis is an elegant three-star hotel in the Paquis district, close to the Central Station and the United Nations buildings. It is primarily seen as a business hotel, and certainly has many quality amenities, but it is also very stylish, with luxurious bathrooms and great views from some rooms. The hotel also has an indoor pool and a small spa.

For romance

The Hotel de la Cigogne is a beautifully appointed family hotel in the heart of the old town. Its 52 spacious rooms and suites are individually decorated with carefully chosen antiques, lovely furnishings and interesting works of art. The romantic restaurant is mahogany panelled, which sets an intimate, Belle Epoque tone.
Les Armures is best known for its restaurant, Restaurant Les Armures, which is in a fantastic Old Town location, right next to the cathedral. The restaurant, which preceded the hotel, is a local landmark, serving typical Swiss cuisine — think raclettes and fondue galore. Upstairs, 32 rooms and suites are decorated with a mix of traditional and contemporary furniture and details. They are not large, but the atmosphere is warm, and the location is unbeatable.
The Hotel D'Angleterre is an elegant five-star property with an enviable lakeside location, overlooking the Jet d'Eau. It has 45 rooms and suites, individually and opulently decorated with all kinds of antiques and beautiful and varied treasures. It's the kind of hotel that offers a wide range of dining options, and has a glamorous bar for the evenings and afternoon tea. A luxurious and memorable stay.

For families

Small and private, with just three contemporary rooms, the B&B Le Jour et La Nuit is a stylish spot outside central Geneva. It is an ideal place for families or groups, thanks to the shared kitchen, the garden and the terrace with barbecue. However, there are several good restaurants nearby, so you don't have to cook if you don't feel like it.
The Edelweiss Hotel is a typical Swiss hotel and restaurant, like a Swiss chalet transported to the centre of the city, with a fondue restaurant and yodellers. The rooms are decorated with wood, fireplaces and long alphorns hanging on the walls. Family rooms and babysitting services are offered and, let's face it, your kids will probably love it!
Relatively close to Central Station, the Kipling Hotel is a bright and modern 62-room hotel with exotic influences. Some rooms have kitchenettes and Nespresso machines, and kids get free breakfast. You're just an eight-minute walk from the lake and beach. It's also great value for money.
La Réserve is an ultra-luxurious yet family-friendly hotel, set in beautiful landscaped grounds in Bellevue, along Lake Geneva. It has 102 warm and welcoming rooms and suites, as well as a choice of resort-style swimming pools, a heavenly spa, tennis courts, a children's playroom and many activities.

For great value

Chez Maman is a 20th-century inn located in a trendy part of the city, close to shops and restaurants. There are only 11 rooms, decorated simply in a pale gray color scheme, with exposed beamed ceilings, large windows and wooden floors. The hotel also has a garden, with lovely places to sit and enjoy a drink and tapas at the trendy bar.
The Auberge de Confignon is a gastronomic inn nestled in a village just above Geneva. The setting and the view of the mountains are spectacular, but it is the cuisine that makes the reputation of the establishment. The fourteen rooms are simple but comfortable.

Some of the best hotels around geneva

Domaine de Chateauvieux is a lovingly restored old winery in the middle of vineyards surrounding Geneva. The 12 rooms have a rustic charm and offer views of the Rhône and Jura rivers.

Travel information

Geneva Airport is just four kilometres from the city centre and is easily accessible by bus, train or taxi. The train transfer takes only six minutes to the central station. A taxi will take you about 25 minutes.
If you want to rent a car — which we advise if you are staying in Geneva and want to discover the lake and the Alps — we recommend that you visit our online partner, Rentalcars.
Many people pass through Geneva on their way to the local ski resorts, so winter is almost as crowded as summer, which, as in most countries in Europe, is the busiest time for visitors. Summers by the lake are sunny and dry, the spring is very beautiful, but there are still night frosts in April. Autumn cools down quickly, but starts comfortably in September, and winter is cold and beautiful, with the snow-capped mountains as a backdrop.
