Geneva's grand hotel since 1834, on the Rhône
City
115 rooms and suites on the Rhône where it leaves Lake Geneva, with a 2,800 m² spa and a Michelin-starred Italian restaurant.
The Hotel des Bergues opened on 1 May 1834 and was then called the largest and finest hotel in Switzerland. It was restored in 2005 under designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, with Louis-Philippe furniture and marble bathrooms.
It stands on the Quai des Bergues, a few steps from Lake Geneva, the old town and the banking district, 10 minutes' walk from the station and about 30 minutes by car from the airport. It has 115 rooms and suites, including sixth-floor suites in a Swiss chalet style with fireplaces.
On the roof, IZUMI looks out to Mont Blanc, and the Salle des Nations hosted a League of Nations assembly in 1920.
Accommodation
Dining
The hotel has Il Lago, a Michelin-starred northern Italian restaurant, and IZUMI on the roof for Japanese-Peruvian cooking with Mont Blanc views.
