Geneva hotels
As an international center, Geneva is a master of hospitality ready to cater to the highest of tastes to the lowest of budgets. There are over 14,000 beds in the city center ranging from student hostels to luxury five star resorts. Despite having the largest hotel capacity in Switzerland, reservations are recommended as hotels do fill up quickly, especially during the summer months and holidays. Major conferences and city exhibitions during the year may also make finding a room difficult if you don’t plan ahead.
Areas
Most of Geneva’s most luxurious hotels are located along Quai du Mont Blanc on the western shore of Lac Leman. At the center of this area, the Beau Rivage (www.beau-rivage.ch) at Quai du Mont Blanc 13, is the oldest and most famous hotel in Geneva, catering to heads of state from around the world and other celebrities since 1865.
The Old Town is the site of many quaint hotels and is a popular choice due its central location. Most of the hotels are converted residences offering old world charms and a unique alternative to the traditional hotel experience. The greatest concentration of hotels in Geneva is located around the central station at Gare Cornavin and consists mainly of budget and tourist class hotels. For the cheapest option, head to the Paquis to one of Geneva’s two youth hostels.
