Hotel Métropole Genève

Hotel Métropole Genève is a five-star lakefront hotel at Quai Général-Guisan 34, at the foot of the Old Town in Geneva, Switzerland. Dating from 1854, it is one of the city's oldest grand hotels and sits between the English Garden, the Jet d'Eau jetty and the shopping streets of the Rive district. Cornavin station is about 20 minutes on foot or a short tram ride, and the lake boat landings are close by. The building is a classic nineteenth-century facade with elegant, traditional interiors that were updated while retaining period character. Accommodation spans Classic, Superior and Executive Rooms and Suites, with lake-facing rooms offering views toward the fountain and the Salève. Dining centres on the Le Grand Quai brasserie, a restaurant with a terrace on the quay, plus a bar; breakfast is a full buffet. The hotel has a fitness center, and the concierge assists with theatre tickets, excursions and boat cruises. The service character is traditional and business-friendly while welcoming leisure travellers, and meeting rooms are available for small events. Prices typically run from CHF 450 to 950 per night, with higher rates in summer and during trade fairs. The location makes it easy to walk to the Old Town, the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre and the Jardin Anglais flower clock.
