Gateway to the Swiss Alps
Known for its international diplomacy, Geneva is the gateway city to the Swiss Alps and contains many international organisations that lend the lake-side city a cosmopolitan flair. It is filled with the best in cuisine, diverse languages and people, and top 5-star hotels.
It's easy to fly in to Geneva Airport, and like the rest of Switzerland, the public transport system is incredibly efficient. And the antique shops and steep, cobbled streets of the Old Town can be explored by foot or bicycle.
Many of the sights are monumental buildings such as the St Pierre Cathedral, but you can escape the chilly winters inside museums and galleries displaying everything from the Renaissance to the Contemporary.
Even if getting out into the wilderness of the Swiss Alps isn’t an option, there’s plenty of nature accessible within the city limits. Parc des Bastions offers tree-lined walks and a game of giant chess and Parc de la Grange is a green space situated on the Lake Geneva promenade. Jet d'Eau, a 450 foot high fountain in the center of Lake Geneva is beautifully lit at night.
With over 90 hotels available, Booking.com ensures that whether you are travelling for business or pleasure you can experience the best accommodations Geneva has to offer.

I like that it’s a like a small safe town with cool subtle things to see: pretty streets with flags especially in old town (and snow), the UN/chair/WHO a bus ride away, mount Salève a 20min bus ride away (even though I still din’t know how to get to the very bottom/up it), small landmarks around the lake: jet d’eau, l’horloge fleurie, a small history of science myseum I like.

Lovely views on the lake and surrounding mountains.
Lovely views on the lake and surrounding mountains. Great parks, very green, and excellent public transport. Not the best for night life and very quiet on Sundays when most shops and many restaurants are closed.

The city it’s beautiful.
The city it’s beautiful. You see people are sad and in some cases are forced to have to smile. It’s like you are watching robots working in hotels and other installations. Everything it’s so expensive and it’s not really worth that money. There are other places that are a lot nicer and less expensive and people smile spontaneously. Here people seem to have a forced smile. and they keep their distance like they are aliens. I really think they should be more spontaneous to turists and be more nice. It’ makes the difference.
Such a beautiful place and people are so sad and rude.
They should have a university to teach courtesy and smile to turists and even to themselves.
It was Christmas . Imagine if it was another day! OMG I left desperately. Sad the saddest city in Europe during Christmas. Poor people.

Geneva is a wonderful multicultural city with a lot of nice places and restaurants to go. The scenery is really nice and check out the Korean barbecue restaurants!!
Also shopping there is really nice.
“No nonsense minimalistic design. It just works fine for a short stay. The hotel provides free transportation pass for the zone that covers downtown Geneva”
“I stay for two nights and it was the best teo nights in Switzerland.
It's the best location in Geneva you don't need to user you car when you stay there. They will provide you a free just and boat tickets where you can used whole you are there. They have a very good restaurant call Le Grill you should go there and eat. Also, they have good views to the to the lake and the fountain ”
“Great location near airport / Palexpo with frequent shuttle and screen showing arrivals and departures. Short walk to bus with many lines running into city centre. Gorgeous rooms well equipped. Great heated pool and excellent large gym. Good food in restaurants. Offer rooms with connecting door - great for families! Helpful courteous staff. One of the best places we have stayed at in Geneva.”
“Hostels are the way to stay in expensive places like Switzerland and esp. Geneva, without breaking the bank. (ie. this place is not cheap; but alternatives are expensive).
Modern and well-arranged building, if minimalist. Breakfast included. Great location within walking distance of the lake and Paquis (bathing place) and short tram/bus rides of major sights. Free TPG travel card each day is a great bonus.”
“actually, I can´t complain at all... I arrived very early but the gentleman at the counter said "no worry, we have a clean room" and gave it to me at no extra charges (it was 8h30 AM) - checkin is normally at 3...”
“This hotel was perfect for our 2-night stay in Geneva. It was an easy walk from the train station, a delicious falafel restaurant across the street, and many other restaurants/bars in easy walking distance.”
“The hotel is a stunning, impeccably maintained, historical beauty and the staff are utterly exceptional, from the front desk manager, concierge, and maintenance staff (who immediately took care of a small issue) to the...”
“The room was spacious with every amenity. The turn-down service was excellent and discreet. And the concierge and front desk was most helpful, even at early hours in the morning. Location was perfect for our needs.”
“Great location, loved having a kitchen, lots of space including dining table, rather than having to eat on the bed or desk or something. Great view of the station. Travel card included is a nice bonus.”
“This property radiates hospitality, service and opulent decor with stunning views of jet D'eau. It stands for the traditional Swiss 5 star luxury. We did not miss having a spa or a pool.”
