Accommodation - Switzerland - Geneva

the
SophisticatedTraveller*
* the ultimate travel reference guide for discerning individuals

 

 

The centrality of Geneva relative to Europe’s major cities has endeared its appeal as the location for a vast number of conferences, seminars and conventions. And it is this focus on servicing the needs of the business traveller that has ultimately directed the development of the city’s hotel scene over the last half century.

With the emphasis on corporate accommodation, serviced mostly by the large multinational affiliate groups, there remains a distinct shortage of quality boutique and smaller hotels of any distinct charm. Recommendations by default are directed towards the traditional classic luxury hotels, offering world class accommodation at comparable world class prices.

Due to the erratic influx of tourists arriving on mass to Geneva it is advisable to confirm one’s accommodation requirements well in advance. Discounted rates are often available for weekends and during non event periods, the greatest savings to be found amongst the premium luxury establishments anxious to maintain occupancy levels.
