Nicknamed the ‘City of Peace’, Geneva is located in a scenic bay overlooking the Rhone and Lake Geneva. It’s also packed with cultural highlights and is perfect as a stylish stop-off on your way to ski the Alps. Ideal for lake-side sunbathing, spa trips, shopping and dining, a visit to Geneva on a luxury holiday is always a good idea.
Known for its bathhouses and spas, Geneva is the ideal place to unwind. Visit popular spots like the Bains des Pâquis, perched on a pier and offering bathing in summer and saunas during winter, or try one of the town’s luxurious spa resorts where you can soak your cares away while taking in spectacular views.
Plan a boat trip on the town’s iconic lake and see a different side of Geneva. Visit one of the smaller towns nearby or take a pleasure cruise and drink, dine and relax as you take in scenic views of Swiss villages, vineyards and, of course, the Alps.
This romantic island can be found in the middle of Lake Geneva and has been transformed from a historic stronghold to a welcoming public park. The island, named after philosopher and writer Jean-Jacques Rousseau, can be reached by public walkway, and you can stop for a coffee or glass of wine as you enjoy tranquil views.
It may be located just over the border to France, but people like to call Salève Geneva’s local mountain. Here, you can hike, paraglide or simply sip a coffee in one of the mountain-top cafés. However, if you're feeling game, head for the summit, where you will be treated to panoramic views of both the lake and the city.
You’ll find many flourishing parks and elegant gardens waiting to be explored in Geneva. Parc de La Grange hits the top of the list thanks to its rose garden and outdoor stage, whilst Parc de La Perle du Lac boasts dramatic views and the Jardin Anglais features a flower clock and a fountain dating back to 1862.
We believe that true luxury is only possible when all the details – the ones that really matter to you – are taken care of personally, professionally and to the highest standard.
