Hotel d’Angleterre, Geneva
Expert reviews
“Impeccable taste, total discretion, and a passion for detail mark this stylish boutique hotel where thematic decorations stretch from African to baroque.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Geneva.
“Hotel d’Angleterre is one of the most unusual properties in the city. That it reduced the number of rooms in 1995 from 60 to 45 speaks volumes of the hotel’s commitment to meeting the needs and desires of its guests, as does the two-to-one staff-to-guest ratio.”
“Situated on the banks of Lake Geneva facing the Jet d’Eau fountain, this family-run hotel is a landmark in its own right. It’s been around since 1872, and is considered Geneva’s ultimate grande dame hotel thanks to its Old World elegance and A-list clientele.”
“Situated on the lakeshore, the palatial Hôtel d’Angleterre is the Beau Rivage’s smaller, more affordable neighbor and one of my favorite hotels in Geneva. Most rooms have lake views and the suites are especially plush.”
Featured as Frommer’s Exceptional Choice in Geneva.
“This grand hotel stands proud on Geneva’s lakefront, and has been welcoming royalty, heads of state and celebrities through its opulent doors since 1872. It’s five-star all the way, with a discreet ambience, silver service, and mood-lifting views of the Jet d’Eau and snow-capped Mont Blanc.”

A warm welcome on the banks of Lake Geneva
Fantastic lakeside location, easy walk / boat road to main downtown area, restaurants and train station. The service level is very high - staff were super helpful throughout, in a friendly rather than officious way. They were proactive, and requests were dealt with very quickly. Rooms are "grand" and spacious.
I found the bed uncomfortable, and on 2 or 3 occasions we had problems with our plumbing - toilet was running and we couldn't flush it. On the first occasion, someone came very quickly and resolved it, on subsequent occasions it eventually resolved itself. It's expensive, but not out of line for that class of hotel in GVA.

excellant service!
the service was great! we were only there for one nite but found the valet was very helpful, the front desk walked us through getting around town and recommended a great restaurant. we also loved the complimentary welcome champagne delivered to the room. all in all a very well run hotel with nice extra touches.
the room was maybe smaller, and we had an upgraded room with a small couch, then we expected but it was a decent size for a city hotel room and fine for one or two nites.

Charming
Clean rooms
Since the are not with LHW it’s a bit weird. They make everything difficult for nothing. The communication, I was told I got an email but I never did receive any email. And then she said via booking.com I went to check and there was nothing. Booking.com can confirm that. I guess I love the hotel to be back there

This is a beautiful hotel overlooking the lake with excellent facilities and charming staff.

Cupboard space in the dressing area was limited.

Totally superb in every way!
The staff team at Hotel Angleterre is outstanding! So professional, attentive, courteous ensuring visitors enjoy a fabulous 5* experience in keeping with the ambience of this superb waterfront hotel. The rooms are huge, impeccable and tastefully decorated with ‘turn down’ service. Breakfast was a delicious feast offering the best of Switzerland, while enjoying the wonderful vista of Mont Blanc, Geneva & the Lake. What a find! We simply can’t wait to return. Huge thanks to all the staff for such a fantastic stay!

Exceptional service. Hotel staff / concierge made us feel very warm and welcome, and were always smiling and ready to lend a hand. Will only ever stay here if we ever return to Geneva.

Top.
Amazing staff and location. The best hotel in town. 4s is posh but no soul. This has British soul with swiss heritage. Only address if you can afford it.
