The oldest family owned hotel in Geneva, the Beau Rivage has adapted to a changing world for over a century without losing its air of tradition and serenity. The imposing exterior conveys a strong impression of opulence. The atrium-style lobby contains a small fountain, Italian frescoes, statues, fresh flowers and antique furniture, creating a soothing atmosphere.
The 97 palatial guestrooms feature period furniture, original frescoes, plush bathrobes and a pervading sense of romance. It's very much a comfortable elegance mixed with modern technology. They are all clean and well maintained, as are the bathrooms.
Overlooking the lake and serving gourmet French cuisine, the hotel’s Le Chat-Botté ("Puss in Boots") Restaurant subtly blends tradition and creativity. The menu is accompanied by fine wines from a century-old cellar and a selection of rare cheeses. There’s also the Patara Restaurant, which serves fine Thai cuisine, and the relaxing L’Atrium Bar, which offers English teas, drinks and light snacks.
