Geneva’s grand historic hotel

VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Founded in 1865, Beau-Rivage Genève is an iconic hotel in the heart of Geneva that embodies both history and contemporary luxury. With an exceptional location facing the city’s famous Jet d’Eau, this landmark property has welcomed royals and dignitaries from around the world since its early days. It was also home to Switzerland’s first elevator in 1873. Step inside and discover an atmosphere that blends timeless décor with a warm welcome and meticulous attention to detail, making you feel like you’re entering a refined private home rather than a bustling city hotel

Guests come here to feel part of Geneva and participate of the living history that the hotel represents. Here, Empress Elisabeth of Austria took her last breath after being attacked nearby in 1898, Czechoslovakia was signed into presence inside the hotel’s salon and Sotheby’s auctioned off the Duchess of Windsor’s jewelry collection.

Our Inspector's Highlights

Situated on Geneva’s waterfront, the hotel’s views of Leman Lake, Mont Blanc and Jet d’Eau is one of the biggest reasons high-profile guests have visited here again and again throughout history.
It’s also ideally located in the center of the city, five minutes from the main railway station and a 15-minute walk from both luxury shopping and the banking district.
At the hotel’s signature restaurant, Rivage Café, local produce takes center stage in a menu crafted by chef Mathieu Croze. From refined weekday lunches to elegant evening dinners, the cuisine blends tradition with creativity in a relaxed yet sophisticated setting.
Beau-Rivage’s six penthouse suites offer breathtaking views over the lake and city. These elegant duplexes are uniquely designed to reflect the hotel’s architectural heritage, combining refined comfort with contemporary sophistication

The Rooms

Each of the 90 rooms is uniquely decorated. Whether it is the colors, the furniture or the objects inside a guest room, all have been artistically placed to tell a story.
As a living museum, the luxury hotel boasts rooms with antique furnishings and rich heritage — think crystal chandeliers, cascading drapery and gilded accents.
Most of the 19 suites have a private terrace where you can appreciate the breathtaking views the location has to offer. Bathrooms are covered with white marble and are equipped with vintage-style hardware; although everything is renovated and brand new, it feels like an opulent 19th-century bathroom with modern comforts.
Technology inside the rooms has also been updated considerable, with personal iPads on which to order room service or to use for various other requests. When possible, the television is hidden behind a mirror to preserve the travel-back-in-time ambiance that permeates the property.
