As you might expect from a city which plays regular host to top-level suits on unlimited expense accounts, Geneva has no shortage of stratospherically expensive hotels – the Quai des Bergues and Quai du Mont-Blanc in particular are shoulder-to-shoulder with them.  | Beau Rivage *****
Dreamy classical-style
palace, drenched in luxury redolent of its 1865 foundation. The same
family tends to the hotel’s guests now as then, and a farther cry from
international business-class anonymity you couldn’t find. If Paco Rabanne
enjoyed it here, so can you. This was the hotel were austrian Empress
Sissi stayed before her brutal murder by an italian anarchist in
1898.

 | Des Bergues *****
Oldest of Geneva’s palace-style hotels, this much-loved 1834
landmark was recently renovated to glittering international standards,
yet retains its atmosphere of discreet and unassailable opulence. Its
history, which takes in – quite literally – the crowned heads of
Europe, seeps from the tastefully draped walls.

| Intercontinental *****
A vast Sixties high-rise out near the UN, some rooms boasting
spectacular lake-views, that is the favoured choice of politicos and
visiting international delegations. Cosy decor softens the generic
interior, but sombre, world-affairs formality is the tone. The
visitors’ book reads like a rollcall of history, running through the
last half-dozen US presidents, King Hussein, Fidel Castro and Nelson
Mandela, to name a few

 | Angleterre *****
Known as
the most expensive hotel in Geneva, it is also, for many, the best. Small
but not tiny, this intimate hotel is located on the Right Bank,
facing the water jet.

 | Noga Hilton *****
Huge
glass and metal mammoth on the Right Bank, right in front of the water jet,
the Noga Hilton was built by the genevan financier Nessim Gaon (hence the name Noga) in the 1970s - and financial dire straits
kept him from engaging into a long-overdue overhauling. That's a pity for
such a nicely located business hotel. We found both the chinese and french
gastronomic
restaurant overrated.

 | Richemond *****
Formerly
on the of the best palaces in Geneva, the Richemond has seen several
changes in the ownership and directions and this reflects very badly on
the service and room quality. If somebody recommends you this hotel, you
should ask him when was the last time he slept there. If that was 5 years
ago or more - ask somebody else.

 | Les Armures *****
Seventeenth-century building in
the heart of the Old Town; characterful rooms with wood beams and frescoed decor. Clinton and Carter
slept there. The restaurant has a lot of character but we
can't recommend the food..
