The house
YOTELModular glass hub
Two interconnected glass buildings form a tech-led launchpad pairing automated efficiency with expansive Scandinavian-style dining spaces.
What it’s good at
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Founex sits along the A1 motorway between Geneva and Lausanne, keeping the lake shore a short drive away.
The rooms
Motorized SmartBeds fold upright into sofas to free up space, and adjustable lighting shifts the room's tone.
HVGGE Restaurant
Traditional Danish smørrebrød and seasonal Swiss dishes fill the menu at wooden tables beside floor-to-ceiling windows.
HVGGE Place Bar
Local Swiss wines and barista coffee are served at the counter beneath brass pendants and suspended glassware.

Our shorthand
How we rate hotels.
The medals

Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.

Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
Bronze
They did this well. You’ll notice.
Listed
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Design
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.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
