Lakefront luxury in Geneva
Pulled practically up to the lakeside, overlooking the water and the iconic Geneva Fountain, the Fairmont Grand Hotel has snagged one of the best spots in the city. With a ferry terminal on the doorstep and a tram stop less than 10 minutes’ walk away, getting around could hardly be easier.
There’s plenty to see and do within walking distance, too. The Old Town and St Pierre’s Cathedral are about 15 minutes’ walk away, while the Museum of Art and History is just a few minutes further. The path to the Old Town takes you past the Jardin Anglais – a pretty green park on the site of an old harbour that’s known for its impressive collection of sculptures, as well as its flower clock.
Once you’ve racked up enough steps, head back to the hotel and treat your tired legs to the offering at Spa Valmont. Take a relaxing dip in the large indoor pool or see if the menu of massages can tempt you. There’s a sauna and hammam, too, so plenty of options for getting in some well-deserved R&R during your stay.
Dining at the Fairmont Grand Hotel is just as sophisticated as you’d expect. Choose from three restaurants, each with a distinctive offering. Lóu One specialises in Chinese cuisine served with a view of the lake and the mountains beyond, while Le Grill is a French steakhouse that champions locally produced fare. Finally, Il Vero deals in authentic Italian food, and great wine to go with it. There’s also an elegant lounge bar that makes the perfect spot for an intimate after-dinner drink.
