"This palatial hotel is a one-stop shop for travelers, with contemporary guest rooms, more than a dozen chic boutiques... and one of Geneva's trendiest nightclubs, the Java." Full review
Lonely Planet
"Ode to design is what this eight-storey, 1980s block screams... something of a one-stop shop, the vast low-ceilinged lobby doubles as boutique shopping mall." Full review
Star Service
"Once again a top Geneva outpost, edging out the InterContinental with an overall higher style quotient, and the lakeside setting and slightly superior service are also worth noting." Full review
Frommer's
"From the restaurants, lounge, and bar a view opens onto the lake with the Alps as a backdrop. The decor manages to be both contemporary and rather cozy." Full review

"This two-star hotel is a two-second flit to the Old Town and offers extraordinary value for a pricey city like Geneva. Rooms are quiet and cared for, and those on the 1st floor share a kitchen." Full review
