What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
behind that classic facade, there’s a bit of black lacquer and red velvet in the fashionably minimalist guest rooms, and some deluxe rooms are divided with shoji-style wooden screens.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Gare Cornavin and Lake Geneva are both a short stroll away, and the Old Town is ten minutes on foot.
The rooms
Sliding timber partitions shape the larger layouts, finished with dark lacquer details, rich upholstery, and quiet courtyard views.
The gym and sauna
Technogym equipment and wooden wall bars sit beneath skylights in the fitness room, and a sauna is on site.
Restaurant
The Library
A long wooden table sits beneath paper lantern pendants, surrounded by shelves of books and warm wood paneling.
At the table
The restaurant draws on fresh market produce, and drinks move between the dark timber bar and courtyard tables.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
