Domaine De Divonne

hotel is located at the border of geneva/france in a small town. while the grounds are lush and the view lovely, the hotel itself has not been well maintained or updated... old school elevators that barely fit three people and have to be pushed open, window frames with paint chipping, carpet that needed replacing ions ago... these are a few things that would turn off a more seasoned traveler... most definitely not a modern hotel and not conveniently located if one is planning to spend time in geneva... also, they don't offer tours though the concierge was helpful in pointing out some key facts and places to visit... my opinion - this is an ideal location for a business traveler who just needs to spend a night or two and be off... the property grounds are certainly nice but if the hotel itself could catch up to the modern world on the inside, it would go a long way!

Stayed there because of motor show, tired hotel could, and should be considering the prices, a very very good hotel ned a bit of updating. Avoid casino restaurant and eat in town or at the chateaux. I hope you have deep pockets

This was the second time we come and it was a much better experience since the first time some 4 years ago. Now everybody is nice! even the bell boys which used to be the worst part. We decided to come back because now they have a breakfast buffet which was the only reason why we went somewhere else in Divonne. You have to go just to enjoy the view of the pine trees from the room's windows, the best luxury one can find nowadays, and the restaurant Quatre Saison in the Casino.

it was within walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The grounds were beautiful and the rooms were quiet.

Lovey art nouveau art deco hotel - all original features. Excellent restaurant La Terrasse but you need to book at least a week in advance and its closed on Sundays/Mondays so not helpful if you're there for a long weekend. Pool area needs a bit of attention. Someone had started to clean it but given up about a quarter of the way through. Pool restaurant has a limited but adequate menu. Good choice for breakfast but rather expensive. This is France so no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. Adequate mini-bar, though ours was not re-stocked on consumption. Staff are pleasant but not overwhelmingly helpful. Very easy drive from Geneva, Swiss or French side. Not a five star experience but stunning decor if you're a fan of art nouveau/art deco. Like being in an episode of Poirot. Also distant views of Mont Blanc, weather permitting.

Wholly satisfactory. The restaurant La Terrasse was as good as always and Wilfrid the Maitre d' s advice about the wine and the food was as helpful as ever.

Because we had a rather pleasant stay at this hotel last year, I and my wife decided to return this year; but it seems that staff of this hotel do not value a returning client, they gave us a hard time when checking in on 14 Jul 2012, assigned us a small room with a fan, (no A/C no balcony as should be normally), when we rejected they reassigned a reasonably normal room but made us wait 2 hours, as we kept complaining and asked to speak to the manager, they in a hurry assigned another normal room but kept us waiting in the room for about 15 minutes without a key to even turn on the lights. I told the staff of my wish to complain to the management about the treatment and the attitude and they informed that it will have to be after the week-end. When we came in our room on Monday, we found an apology memo from the management for being inconvenienced at the time of checking in. Also a plate of pealed (over ripped) fruits was placed in the room. I think management heard a one sided story and treated lightly with a little memo and over ripped fruits. We didn't want to bother to ague further or to extend our stay as previously planned.

Definately worth staying considering the fact how much other hotels charge.

The hotel is pleasant and apart from the fact that I was woken by telephone at 1:00 a.m. by the desk clerk, who conveyed a wholly incorrect accusation that my T.V. was too loud, is efficiently run. My T.V. was not even on. The main restaurant is excellent and merits praise.
