The Luxury of Authenticity & Historic Excellence

160 Years of Independent Family Hospitality on Lake Geneva

Presiding majestically over the Quai du Mont-Blanc since 1865, Beau-Rivage Genève is one of Switzerland's most celebrated independent grand hotels. With sweeping views across Lake Geneva, the iconic Jet d'Eau fountain, and the distant snow-capped Mont-Blanc mountain range, this private palace combines 160 years of family heritage with peerless contemporary luxury.

Founded by Jean-Jacques Mayer and cherished across five generations of the same founding family, Beau-Rivage has stood at the crossroads of European history. It is where Empress Elisabeth of Austria (the beloved Sissi) chose her Genevan sanctuary and where Czechoslovakia's independence declaration was signed in 1918. Today, its 52 rooms and 43 lavish suites preserve rich historic architectural details—from hand-painted ceiling frescoes to period furnishings—seamlessly integrated with state-of-the-art entertainment and private in-room spa wellness systems.

At the heart of the hotel rises a spectacular six-story neo-Pompeian atrium illuminated by a grand stained-glass skylight. Exceptional gastronomy awaits at the renowned Michelin-starred Le Chat-Botté, where Executive Chef Mathieu Croze crafts masterful contemporary French menus, complemented by the lively terrace ambiance of Rivage Café and the elegant teas of Albertine's Lounge.
