10 Top-Rated Hotels in Geneva

August 7, 2022 Russell Mellin

The shores of Lake Geneva have attracted visitors and invaders for millennia. The cheerful city of Geneva sits on the lake's western shore, lofty snowcapped peaks creating a gorgeous backdrop on all sides. The city is perfect for exploring on foot; rent a bike to venture further. The top of any itinerary should be visits to Geneva's lakefront and its famed water fountain, the Flower Clock in the English Garden, St. Peter's Cathedral, Reformation Wall, Place Neuve and the birthplace of the U.N.

A Precious Jewel on Lake Léman

Reviewed By chillyinphilly

I rarely write reviews but felt compelled to do this one. I had read great reviews about Hotel d'Angleterre and decided to book it for a 4 night stay during a conference in May. I would like to start out by saying that this place surpassed all my expectations!!! I had contacted the hotel about an early check in. My flight arrived at 6:00 a.m. and while they could not accommodate me that early, they communicated it prior to my arrival and made very effort to get me a room as soon as possible. In fact, even before I entered the hotel , the doorman greeted me by my name and the staff offered a much needed warm welcome after a long international flight. The hotel is perfectly situated by the lake and I was able to take a nice long walk along the lake while I waited for my room. The room and bathroom were elegant, updated and impeccably clean. The Hotel is engulfed in history and houses tasteful artefacts. The concierge and staff are fabulous. Service went far above and beyond. After a busy conference day, it was like coming home to a houseful of friends. Although not commercially advertised , this hotel offers a rare but very special leisure activity. I was able to book a cycling trip around Lac Léman with François who is the engineer for the hotel but is also a professional cyclist and has his own racing team. François made every arrangement possible for the unprepared tourist- right from organizing a racing bicycle (for a rather short person) to the right shoes with toe clips and he may even have arranged for the perfect weather. I had a tight timeline but he made sure that we had a safe and most enjoyable 75 km ride and was then met by the affable and gracious general manager Jean-Vital Domezon who drove me back to the hotel so that I could make my next meeting. While Geneva is a great city, the reason I would come back to it is to stay at Hotel d'Angleterre one more time, and perhaps ride the whole Lake Lac Léman circuit with François. This is a gem of a place!

Very nice

Clean and comfortable rooms, exceptional staff. The bed was very comfortable, but the rooms were not soundproof - I could hear everything around me - although this didn't diminish my experience all in all. Only breakfast could have had more options.

Thoroughly enjoyable and very friendly

Reviewed By stuartb845

Spent 31 May to 3 June at the Hotel D in Geneva. I arrived at about 830 in the morning after a 20-hour flight from Bangkok, fully expecting that I would need to wait until the afternoon for a room to be ready. However, Tommy at the desk found a room and made me feel super welcome, and I was able to get a bit of rest before my meeting the next day. For the remainder of the stay, the staff were friendly and flexible. The breakfast is comprehensive and tasty. The location is right downtown; two minutes walk from the central train station and three minutes walk from Lake Geneva. Thoroughly recommended for business or pleasure. Thank you

Beautiful Hotel with fabulous staff

Reviewed By Lizzielee

We walked up at 9pm on a Sunday after our BA flight was canceled at the last minute. The staff were super nice and found us a room with a free upgrade so we could have an extra bed for our little guy! our frowns were literally turned upside down in a matter of minutes! The room was beautiful - fully renovated with a marble bathroom, Molton Brown soaps and creams, fluffy towels, robes, slippers and comfy bed. It was the perfect combination of modern and cozy. And much larger than anticipated. The location is perfect - right next to the lake and a short walk to the train station. There is a spa in the basement with spotless clean hot tub, sauna and steam - also a small gym. Really a brilliant hotel full of charm and sophistication with all the modern comforts - without being snobby. Love it! Thank you - we hope to be back soon!

Eastwest Hotel

A few steps from the lake, close to the business and shopping areas, Eastwest Hotel is the ideal home away from home to make the most of your stay in Geneva. The old town and the international organizations are a few minutes away.

A really great hotel, and a great location - with a minor caveat

Reviewed By yaell_12

The hotel was great! Service, rooms, upkeep, cleaniness, breakfast - superb. Very very nice. The location is also great - 6 minutes walk from Cornavin train station, and a short (10min) and lovely walk to the old town. The one small caveat, is that the short walk from the train station to the hotel passes through a couple of "red light district" streets. The hotel is on the border between the train station area - always a bit iffy, and the really nice 'touristic' area. During this short walk, as 2 adults in daytime - while a bit unpleasent, we felt completely safe. However, if this is a concern for you, reconsider.

Fantastic Boutique hotel in heart of Geneva

Reviewed By awni

We are a family of Four (kids are in their early 20s). Loved this hotel! Centrally located. 5 min walk to lake 2 mins to the train station. Rooms as well appointed, and European sized. Added bonus was the pool/Sauna/hot tub. Stay was amazing! The best was Charlie the bartender! So friendly and fun with an amazing sense of humour. Makes wicked cocktails!

Perfect Location. Big Rooms. Clean

Reviewed By Lucas O

Hotel is probably the closest hotel to the train station. They give you free train/bus/boat validation pass so that's a big plus. Room is spacious and shower is nice. One morning there was on hot water, but they were able to get it up and running rather quickly. BIG PLUS less than 5 minutes away you can get FREE Rapid Antigen Testing.
