Kofi Annan paid tribute to the ancestral hospitality expertise and splendour of this family home, in his words “There are luxury hotels and then there is Beau-Rivage!” Beau-Rivage Genève is one of those magical places that remain engraved in one’s mind, nourishing the memories of those who one day chose to stay here….

The legacy of Beau-Rivage Genève began in 1865 when pioneers Albertine and Jean-Jacques Mayer, visionaries of their time, wrote the first chapter. Gifted with the boldness and intuition of those who succeed, the couple commenced the story of our family-run hotel, page after page, passing on their passion and excellence on to future generations.

Geneva: a world city on a human scale
Geneva is the city of 23 international organizations and 250 non-governmental organizations. It is the most important center of international cooperation in the world, along with New York.

Geneva is also home to 40 public and private museums and a large number of art galleries. Equipped with sumptuous libraries and lively theater and music scenes, Moreover, Geneva is a green city: 20% of its territory is dedicated to parks and gardens! It is also a city that can be easily visited on foot, using the tramway if necessary.

Left Bank
The left bank of Geneva is dedicated to arts. The districts of Les Bains and Plainpalais are two emblematic places : Mamco – museum of contemporary art, the Library of the City’s Contemporary Art Fund – FMAC -, numerous art galleries, the Grand Theatre and the Victoria Hall animate the district night and day.

In addition to many shops, visitors will be charmed by the parks and green spaces that punctuate their visit: the English Garden and the Flower Clock, the Bastions, the Treille, the Eaux Vives, the Pine, Observatory and Grange parks.

There is something for everyone, from a peaceful walk to a hardy jogging. The emblematic point of Geneva will remain its 140-meter water jet, highlighting the famous shores of the Geneva Lake.

Right Bank
The right bank of Geneva is also remarkable. It is considered to be more dedicated to organizations, among which the most famous are probably the United Nations and the Red Cross. It is reached by crossing the Rhone with the Mont-Blanc Bridge, famous for its flags displayed throughout the year at artistic and official events in Geneva.

The Pâquis district is home to the Baths, appreciated by all self-respecting Genevans. One can of course enjoy bathing or nautical activities, but also artistic ones.

The right bank is also green. In addition to the Brunswick Mausoleum, we recommend the discovery of the Ariana and Mon Repos parks, as well as the magnificent Botanical Garden, and more particularly its Zen garden.

The Old Town
Geneva is also a charming city. Its old town is dominated by the Saint-Pierre cathedral of Geneva and framed by the university, the English Garden and the Museum of Art and History. Lively and shopping center, it offers superb luxury boutiques all along the streets of the Rhône, the Croix d’Or or the Madeleine.

The old town also has a very specific atmosphere, offering a diverse architecture that is worth a visit, according to the established formula. We will gladly linger on the Promenade des Bastions to visit the Wall of the Reformers, so emblematic of Calvin’s city, then we will climb the Promenade de la Treille to dominate the city and sit on the longest bench in the world.

Around Geneva: a sumptuous countryside between Switzerland and France
The surroundings of Geneva are structured by the Geneva Lake. Its majestic shores are stunning and a boat ride will allow you to discover the landscapes of the Swiss Jura, the Bas-Chablais and the French Alps.

The lake will also offer you, in addition to pike or trout, its finest fish: the fera or whitefish, to be tasted why not with a small Swiss wine like an Aargau Auenstein or a Basel Riesling-Sylvaner.

In the north of Geneva, there is no lack of charming little towns. Nyon, an ancient city with a castle overlooking the lake and a remarkable museum dedicated to Lake Geneva, is worth mentioning.

Further north, Lausanne, a major international university center, will charm lovers of the 7th art with its Swiss Film Library, and, as the headquarters of the IOC, sports enthusiasts with its Olympic Museum. You will also linger in the fortifications to discover the Saint-Maire castle, the cathedral or the Town Hall.

On the eastern side of the lake, charming little villages dot the shores up to Evian. We recommend a visit to the picturesque village of Yvoire – classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France – which will take you back to a medieval and flowery time. Do not miss the beautiful jazz festival in July.

A stone’s throw away, Thonon-les-Bains is a city of theater and festive events all year round. The “Chapelle de la Visitation” will make you wonder about the modes of expression explored by contemporary artists.

At the Chablais museum, you will dominate the whole lake with a splendid view on the Swiss Jura. Finally, Evian, the city of water, will let you enjoy all the pleasures of a sumptuous spa town, with its world-famous springs, its golf course and its casino.

As the European headquarters of the UN and the capital of high-end watchmaking, Geneva well and truly has an international profile. In spite of this, the city still boasts old-world charm with its cathedral (a major site of the Reformation), its luxury boutiques, its museums, its parks and its markets.

Located in the old town just a stone’s throw from the shops and restaurants of the Rue du Rhône, the Hotel Longemalle is the perfect place from which to set off on foot to explore the lakeside area with the Jet d’eau in plain sight as well as wonderful views of the water, greenery and mountains.

SAINT-PIERRE CATHEDRAL
The protestant Saint-Pierre Cathedral, which dates back to the 4th century, is the main religious building in Geneva. It is renowned for its neo-classical façade and numerous capitals and frescoes which are stored in the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire.

This has resulted in it being listed as a European Heritage site. The underground archaeological site, the Musée International de la Réforme and the Calvin Auditorium round off the visit.

HORLOGE FLEURIE
Geneva is world famous for its clock and watchmaking, so it may surprise you to know that its most famous clock also happens to be a masterpiece in gardening – the aptly named “Horloge Fleurie” (Floral Clock).

Made up of eight dials, this unusual flowerbed in the Jardin Anglais has a 2.5m long second hand and hands that change colour with the seasons.

THE JET D’EAU
An icon of Geneva, the Water Jet shoots up 140m from the centre of the Bay. Originally installed to relieve pressure in the municipal water system during the evenings, it continues to flow to this day and attracts thousands of visitors. The Bains des Pâquis beach is an ideal vantage point to admire the show.

THE PALACE OF NATIONS
Located in Geneva’s Parc de l’Ariana, the Palace of Nations was built at the start of the 20th century for the League of Nations and now houses the United Nations (UN).

With an annual schedule of around 8000 meetings, hosting several offices including UNESCO and the Human Rights Council, the Palace of Nations is an important stronghold of international relations.

It is on these smouldering remains where the foundations of the building were laid for its current form, which then became a restaurant in the 1970s. Taken over by Philippe Chevrier in 1989 and cherished ever since, the iconic venue went on to achieve new heights.

At Châteauvieux, warmth is the key word, found in the smallest detail, at the centre of everything. And this is why several personalised spaces are available to maximise your discovery and to make your stay unforgettable.

The Salon Parquet, meanwhile, is an elegant room with original 19th century flooring and golden chandeliers, with the fittingly awe-inspiring backdrop of the lake just outside.

With magnificent views of the Jet d’Eau
Set in the heart of the picturesque Swiss city of Geneva, the hotel combines the joys of a central location – the complimentary boat shuttle service leaves from just outside the hotel – with the relaxing atmosphere of a lakeside retreat.

The Place du Bourg-de-Four, in the very heart of the Old Town, has been a thriving commercial centre since Roman times. Houses were built here to accommodate exiled Protestants, and it is still one of the city’s favourite meeting places.

There’s a lovely 18th century flowered fountain in the centre with tables and chairs outside the cafes and bistros – a wonderful spot for a coffee while you admire the handsome 16th, 17th and 18th century buildings.

The Place du Molard
The Place du Molard is also well worth a visit. In the heart of Geneva’s left bank, surrounded by a rich array of department stores, luxury boutiques and restaurants, it has a lovely octagonal fountain with a marble obelisk dating from 1771, and an impressive tower which was originally part of the city’s defensive wall.

Saint Peter’s Cathedral

These include the English Garden, Botanical Garden, Parc des Eaux-Vives, Parc de la Grange, the Perle-Du-Lac, Ile Rousseau, and Parc des Bastions, the former botanical garden with its lovely promenade in the heart of the city littered with monuments, fountains and statues.

Flanked by a patchwork of vineyards
Geneva is flanked by a patchwork of vineyards, patterned with vines in smart, serried ranks. Most of these farms are centuries-old, family-run enterprises, and they produce some of the finest wine in Europe.

Indeed, the Canton of Geneva produces Switzerland’s third largest wine output, and consequently, guests at Hotel d’Angleterre are never far from an excellent glass of something special. Here, we journey to the most beautiful vineyards near Geneva, each less than an hour’s drive from the hotel.

Satigny
At first glance, it’s a sleepy patch of Switzerland, its vast sweeps of cultivated land dotted with pretty farmhouses. But, for those in the know, Satigny is the country’s largest wine-making municipality and home to several of the most celebrated vineyards near Geneva.

Make sure to visit Domain du Paradis. This sophisticated vineyard has a beautiful vaulted wine cellar, where introductory tastings offer an excellent initial foray into the area’s best grapes.

La Cave de Genève
Known the world over for its quality wine and award-winning bottles, La Cave de Genève is another exceptional vineyard near Geneva. Its dedicated team continues to set the benchmark for not only regional wines, but for Swiss wines, too.

Domaine de Trois Etoiles
Recognised for its distinctive contribution to L’Espirit de Genève—a red wine blended from regional grapes personally selected by the winemaker. Each of the 19 local producers of L’Espirit de Genève offers a slightly different variation, and the blend from this vineyard is well worth sampling.

Russin Vineyard
Less than an hour from Satigny, the verdant pastures of Russin await—and so does Domaine des Molards. Experts in the field, the Desbaillet family have been producing wine near Geneva for over 650 years and their legendary vineyard welcomes visitors to an annual show for the Caves Ouvertes.

This festival is the one day of the year whereby the picturesque vineyards near Geneva throw open their doors and invite oenophiles to taste the year’s vintage, alongside more mature wines.

Just large enough to accommodate six guests, Domaine des Molards’ unique bar area provides fantastic tastings year-round. Enter a converted 11,000-litre barrel for wonderful wines and fondue.

Terraced Vineyards – Jussy
Jussy served as a vassal town of the Bishop of Geneva in the Middle Ages, and Château Du Crest was constructed on his land around 1220. This impressive castle has a long and chequered past, from feudal conflicts to noble visits, to falling to ruin in the 16th century.

The estate was restored to its original grandeur in 1624 when it came under the possession of Jacques Micheli. Generations down the line, his family and the spectacular farmlands surrounding the castle yield some of the best wine in Geneva.

Switzerland’s reserves

Oenophiles at Hotel d’Angleterre can join professional sommelier Landry Tissot for an introduction to Switzerland’s signature reserves. With a plentiful cellar, stacked with carefully curated bottles, Landry’s wine list offers a taste of the very finest vintages from across the country.

Discover timeless Swiss watchmaking
Take a special tour of the world-famous Patek Philippe Museum. The Collection focuses on watches from 1839 onwards, looking at the company’s 175-year heritage, including the Caliber 89, the most complicated watch ever created.

Explore medieval Gruyères
Discover the charming medieval village of Gruyères, surrounded by the picturesque Swiss landscape. Our Bentley Arnage 2001 will take you to the beautiful castle and after you have walked around the village, savour the famous cheese fondue or raspberries with local double cream.

Tea on Lake Geneva

Then take your catch back to Executive Chef Michael Coquelle, who will prepare a sublime dish for you to enjoy in Windows Restaurant overlooking the lake and the Jet d’Eau.

Cigar masterclass
Visit the renowned Cigar Bank in Geneva, where you will be immersed in the world of cigars. You will find out what makes a truly fine cigar and learn about the different varieties.

Then, return to our stunning Cigar Lounge, where you will discover the art of lighting a cigar and taste three different cigars.

Trained in the Michelin-starred kitchens of several well-respected hotels, his cuisine spotlights products, seasonality and authentic tastes – values he inherited from a childhood spent deeply rooted in the earth.

The son of a vegetable farmer based in Northern France, Chef Vasseur was initiated to quality from a very early age. It became the basis for his craft. And in order to find that quality, he cultivates an extensive network of farmers and suppliers, establishing longstanding friendships with them.

For the Jiva Hill Resort, he imagined several new concepts, with menus that will change five times a year to reflect local harvest seasons.

Since 2012, Jiva Hill Resort is pleased to host an exhibition of the New York photographer Roberto Dutesco, whose collection of works intitled “The Wild Horses of Sable Island” presents unique shots of wild horses living on the Sable Island, a small Canadian island located 290km southeast of Nova Scotia coasts, in the Atlantic Ocean.

For 20 years, Roberto Dutesco observed and studied these animals which would have been abandoned right after a shipwreck in the 18th Century and which are now protected by the Canadian government.

Stunning photographs, unprecedented collection of extraordinary moments in a site without human settlement, where horses roam freely. Roberto Dutesco depicts the beauty of these animals and the bareness of these virgin lands, creating a photographic memory that seizes the mind and soul.
