The Genevan palace that has seen kings, diplomats and spies pass through since 1865, facing the jet d'eau.
Beau-Rivage Genève
From
1,136.443 €
“Right-bank location, quai du Mont-Blanc, with direct view of Lake Léman and Mont Blanc on clear days.”
Le Beau-Rivage Genève has held the quai du Mont-Blanc since 1865, and we quickly understand why the address remains a landmark for diplomatic and affluent clientele. The rooms overlook the lake or the old town, polished parquet, classic furniture, white marble bathrooms. The palace has kept its 19th-century soul without turning into a museum, regular but discreet renovations. Impeccable service, never obsequious, in the image of the city. From 1 136 € per night, a coherent rate for a historic palace facing the Léman. We recommend a lake room, the price difference is justified upon waking ✨
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the Beau-Rivage to travellers seeking a historic palace without ostentation, diplomatic and private banking clientele, mature couples. The hotel suits business stays (meeting rooms, assured discretion) and romantic weekends with lake view. Families are accepted but the clientele remains predominantly adult, intimate atmosphere.
