Hotel Beau-Rivage, Geneva
More photosExpert reviews
“Boasting an evocative setting where the Rhône meets Lake Geneva and offering exceptional views across the lake to the Swiss Alps, the Beau-Rivage is a 19th-century jewel.”
“Founded in 1865, Beau-Rivage Genève is one of the rare luxury hotels in Switzerland that’s managed by the direct descendants of its founder. History and innovation run deep here — the hotel has hosted a long line of royals in the 19th century and also debuted Switzerland’s first elevator in 1873.”

Historical value
The location is unique, and I like that it has a historical value, it tells a story.
There was no big variety in the breakfast bread.

it was overrated in room prices and the breakfast was poor in my opinion and not worth the price .

The location, the building, the service and the outdoor bar terrace
The value for money as no breakfast was included at such a high rate

A throughly enjoyable experience
Where to start. The location was excellent and the building was just divine. With an outdoor terrace with an exquisite bar menu I spent the evenings in utter bliss. The staff was very efficient and took care of all my needs.
Breakfast was not included in the rate although it was costing us quite a lot so I would say the value for money was where the hotel lacked.

Fabulous
Rooms are very noisy , we weren’t able to sleep one night because hotel staff and another customer were having conversations at 3 and 5 am at the hall and we heard them super loud inside the room

Absolutely fantastic place to stay!
Locations is just ideal in real center next to most beautiful part of lake. Very comfortable bad. Breakfast is great, but I prefer buffet breakfast where I can see how it looks and how much to take, and it save time.
It was not possible to order breakfast for concrete time in the morning.

Very enjoyable
Loved the terrace bar overlooking the lake
There was a very annoying bright blue light in the room (on the thermostat maybe) that kept us awake. In order to get to sleep we had to cover it with tape! But it was a small thing that didn’t spoil our overall enjoyment
