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.

From all the areas around the lake, the city of Geneva was not our favorite. Like any other city, it's crouded, busy, noisy and with more graffiti than expected. If you like big cities, this may be right for you, but if you want to see what life on the lake is in a more relaxed atmosphere, chose another smaller one like Vevey or Nyon, you can cross from there to the very charming medieval town of Yvorie on the French side and return on the ferry boats, or if you want to spend a night there, we highly recommend Hotel Le Pre de la Cure, you will be amazed by what this 3 star hotel offers and their Cusine is out of this world.

My favourite spots are around the lake, it's bustling with loads of places to have a drink and eats. The old town is very quaint and the square is a great spot to hang out and watch the world go by.

Geneva is a really cool place.
Geneva is a really cool place. Only had half a day here but probably needed another full day. The lake is really nice with boats part of public transport. They give you a free transport ticket to get to the city when leaving from the airport.

Go to the Mövenpick Ice Cream Gallery located by the waterfront. It has the best ice cream on the planet.
Swim in the lake at your own risk. You may get Duck Fleas and itch for several days.
Take the train to Zermatt...you won't regret it!
Take the boat from Ouchy to Chateau de Chillon.

Geneva is a very nice city although not a lot of attractions...
Geneva is a very nice city although not a lot of attractions, the lake is wonderful. A lot of good restaurants and cafes.
Negative to me is I couldn't find a parking in the city center for the multi van as it was about 2 m hight although there are a lot of parking areas for smaller cars
“The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location quite near to the main train station and shopping areas.
It's also one train stop away from Geneva airport.
The free public transportation pass presented by the hotel is fantastic.
The housekeeping is wonderful.
My stay was awesome 👍”
“Although the hotel is near airport, you still can go to Geneva Downtown by taking Bus number 10. Not a big problem. Hotel is fully air-conditioning.And room is very clean. Great.”
“New rooms, very clean, good design, very spacious for Switzerland. My wife, who has lots of allergies, had no problems. Staff was very nice. Windows opened so we could get fresh air in the room. Easy access to train station and then, via a single train, to Geneva airport. Took all of 15 minutes door-to-door.”
“The property is just as featured in the pictures. It is nicely decorated located on an island like block with a grocery store down the street and a restaurant behind the hotel. The hotel itself has a restaurant but we only ate breakfast there once. Two metro stations very close "a stones throw away". So getting to the center from the hotel who gives you a free bus pass is no problem and staying further out saves you money. Switzerland is very expensive.”
“We always stay here first when we arrive for a trip in Switzerland. It is a nice, modern hotel with a friendly staff, fluent in many languages.
The location was the best for us because it was right across from the train station and we were on Swiss Rail Passes for 2 weeks.
The rooms are very clean, and the breakfast buffet is quite good. I have stayed here about a 1/2 dozen times and the service and hotel are consistently good.”
