Room Amenities
Dining
Le Grand Quai - All the splendor of the Belle Epoque awaits diners here whether for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The walls are enlivened by gentle trompe l'oeil rural scenes, heavy red and gold taffeta drapes hang voluptuously from the ceiling and all lit up by a grand chandelier. In summer tables are also set up outside on the cobbled square. Cuisine is mainly classical French.
Bar - This quiet low lit piano bar opens onto the right side of the lobby, separating it from the Le Grand Quai restaurant. Guests plunge into leather armchairs or perch on a bar stool, gently accompanied in the evening by a some melodious tinkling on the grand piano.
Le Bistropôle - Opened in May, 2004, this reaturant offers sandwiches and wines by the glass in a contemporary setting.
Recreation
Lake Geneva offers an impressive range of summer water sports options, including sailing, boating water-skiing, fishing, rowing, windsurfing, and even swimming. For those feeling less active, a variety of lake tours are also an option.
The recreational activities listed below are available either on site or near the hotel; fees may apply.

“Geneva Trip”
Great location but the rooms are tired
“All right hotel”
The hotel is OK by Geneva standards. The rooms still sport old fashioned TVs and are small-ish, at least the one I was in. The location is great. Overall it's OK but can use some renovation.
“Hotel: Swissotel Metropole”
Hotel very good but feel it was too expensive for the type of room I had

Rues Basses - Old Town, Geneva, Switzerland: A former slum, Rues Basses is now home to banks, jewellers, watchmakers, department stores, and designer boutiques. Shoppers not wanting quite the extravagance of Rue du Rhone (the main street) should head to neighbouring blocks that run parallel to the main street, which boast fine shopping with less stratospheric prices.
