Hotel Beau-Rivage, Geneva
More photosExpert reviews
“Boasting an evocative setting where the Rhône meets Lake Geneva and offering exceptional views across the lake to the Swiss Alps, the Beau-Rivage is a 19th-century jewel.”
“Founded in 1865, Beau-Rivage Genève is one of the rare luxury hotels in Switzerland that’s managed by the direct descendants of its founder. History and innovation run deep here — the hotel has hosted a long line of royals in the 19th century and also debuted Switzerland’s first elevator in 1873.”

Location was great. Arrived in the evening and left early the next morning for the airport, so didn't spend much time at the hotel. That said, staff was friendly, the building lobby was beautiful, and the room was spacious and bed was comfortable.
There was some noise from other patrons in the hallway in the evening, but eventually quieted down. Was a bit expensive for such a short stay/not spending much time in the hotel.

Historical value
The location is unique, and I like that it has a historical value, it tells a story.
There was no big variety in the breakfast bread.

everything was fine
it was overrated in room prices and the breakfast was poor in my opinion and not worth the price .
