Hilton Geneva Hotel and Conference Centre

Hilton Geneva Hotel and Conference Centre stands at Route François-Peyrot 34 in Le Grand-Saconnex, in the airport and Palexpo area of Geneva, Switzerland. The location is close to Geneva Airport, the Palexpo exhibition centre and the international organisations district, including the United Nations, which makes it a standard base for trade fairs, diplomatic meetings and conferences. It is not a city-centre hotel: Cornavin railway station and the lakefront are some distance away and are reached by bus, tram or train from the nearby airport and transport links, typically in a short ride. This position is a strength for visitors with early flights or events at Palexpo, and a trade-off for those wanting the Old Town on the doorstep. The hotel is a large modern conference property with meeting rooms designed for business events. Room categories include Standard Rooms, Executive Rooms with added lounge benefits and Suites, with the usual comforts of a chain hotel. Amenities include a restaurant, a bar, wifi, a fitness centre, a pool and parking, the last of which is useful for visitors arriving by car. Breakfast is served as a buffet and the restaurant offers international dishes, while the area around the hotel has additional dining options. Service is business-oriented and efficient, with conference staff able to support events, and families and leisure travellers also use the hotel, particularly outside trade fair weeks when rates are lower. Rates run roughly CHF 220-550 per night, with the highest prices during major fairs and diplomatic gatherings. Visitors planning to see the city on a short stay may weigh the quiet, functional location against the transfer time to the centre.
