Why it’s worth traveling for…
Stunning doesn’t begin to describe Geneva’s historic (founded in 1865) Beau-Rivage Geneve, host to a long line of 19th-century royals. Overlooking pristine Lake Geneva, the hotel’s dreamy rooms come with high ceilings, elegant fabrics, a soothing color palette, and Clarins bath amenities. Le Chat-Botté, the hotel’s Michelin starred restaurant, by chef Chef Dominique Gauthier, offers one of the region’s most sought-after tables.
