BEAU
RIVAGE GENEVA
Little Grand Luxury Palace on Lake Geneva
The
historic Beau Rivage in Geneva is the one of the great grand hotels
of the gilded
age and the
oldest privately owned hotel in Geneva. Intimate in scale, but
like a little palace of marble on the lakeside. First opened in 1865
the
Hotel
Beau
Rivage
has been host to princes, celebrities and
world leaders since its beginning. King Ludwig II of Bavaria, King George
I of Greece and 
the
Japanese Emperor Hirohito have stayed within its suites. Aside from world
class luxury and service the hotel is rich with
history. In 1873, Charles the Duke of Brunswick endowed the city of Geneva
to erect a monument to himself in view of the lakeside windows of the
hotel on the Quai Mont Blanc. In the 1890’s the Empress Elizabeth
of Austria was assassinated by an Italian anarchist on the hotel lawn
while heading for a boat on Lake Geneva. Today, you might run into Princess
Caroline of Monaco or Catherine Denueve staying in the lake view suites.
Sothebys auction house in Geneva has a base in the hotel.
The Beau Rivage has the intimate and elegant style of a period past with
the modern updated amenities expected of the great 5-Star luxury palace,
with an exclusive 73 rooms and 18 suites. The magnificent marble rotunda
atrium greets you upon entering, letting you know you’re in a special
place. The hotel’s internationally recognized restaurant Le Chat
Botté and the L’Atrim Bar offer dining elegance and relaxed
comfort. The hotel’s Chef de cuisine, Dominique Gauthier has been
honored by Gault Millau with “Top French Swiss Cook of the Year” for
extraordinary dishes of a rich originality and the world class wines
from the 100 year old wine cellar. In the summer, the suspended terrace,
overlooking the lake and the snowy peaks of the Mont-Blanc mountains
presents a magical atmosphere. At the Beau-Rivage in Geneva, those privileged
enough enjoy a stay at Geneva’s first in luxury property can say
life is indeed royal. Weekend packages at the Beau Rivage Hotel Geneva
