Landmark hotel facing the Palais des Nations and the UN district, favoured by diplomatic delegations; trams and buses link it to the centre in 15 minutes.
InterContinental Geneva is a large landmark hotel at Chemin du Petit-Saconnex 7-9 in the Petit-Saconnex area, directly facing the Palais des Nations and the United Nations district in Geneva, Switzerland. The hotel was built in the 1960s to serve diplomatic delegations and remains a favourite of those attending UN and international organisation meetings. Trams and buses link it to Cornavin station and the centre in about 15 minutes, and Geneva Airport is a short drive. The nearby Botanical Garden and Ariana Museum are within walking distance, and Lake Geneva is a short ride away. The architecture is a mid-century modernist tower with spacious, recently refreshed interiors. Rooms include Classic Rooms, Club Rooms with lounge access and Executive Suites, with upper floors looking toward the Jura or the Alps. Dining includes an all-day restaurant, a bar and a breakfast buffet that serves international guests. The hotel has a pool, a fitness center and a business center, along with extensive meeting and banqueting space. Service is business-oriented, with multilingual staff, a concierge desk and parking on site. Rates usually run from CHF 300 to 800 per night and climb during UN sessions and major conferences, when rooms sell out. Families can use the pool and ask for adjoining rooms, though the atmosphere remains primarily professional.
