What they say
Michelin Selected

Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Lake Geneva sits a short stroll away. Just outside, the Pâquis district hums with casual eateries and neighborhood bars.
The rooms
Headboards carry painted quotes against pastel backdrops, offset by clean lines and bright blocks of color.
The gym
The gym has wood floors and mirrored walls, stocked with cardio equipment and a rowing machine.
Restaurant
Tag's Café
Red banquettes sit beside murals of railway tracks, serving espresso, burgers, and wine from celebrity vineyards.
At the table
Breakfast is laid out beneath a coffered ceiling, and N'vY Bar mixes evening cocktails over a bookshelf counter.
How it began
The 1974 building spent decades as the equestrian-themed Hôtel Epsom before a 2012 overhaul completely reimagined the space.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

A place apart: the property is the destination.
