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.

“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.

Traveler's tip
Hotel prices in Geneva vary tremendously due to all the UN-related activities. Don't be surprised if you occasionally pay triple what you normally pay otherwise.

Area:

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.
