The Best Hotels To Book In Geneva's Old Town

Situated on the lovely Place de Longemalle, on the edge of the Old Town, Hôtel de la Cigogne offers guests a magical experience within an historic setting. With its authentic fire places, 18th century-style furniture and luxurious rugs, it transports visitors to another world. Guests would also do well to sample the gourmet restaurant, in a setting that is no less grand than its beautiful rooms, including an impressive selection of more than three hundred wines.

True to its name, Hotel Central Genève is indeed extremely central, within walking distance from almost all the main attractions of Geneva, including the striking Jet d’Eau of Lake Geneva itself, situated just a few hundred feet away. This family-owned boutique offers guests a personal, comfortable experience and several rooms include very pleasant balconies overlooking the picturesque streets of the city. The breakfast is also lovely and comes with particularly good coffee.

Just a couple of roads from the buzzing Place du Bourg-de-Four, Hôtel Bel’Espérance offers a modest yet comfortable stay in a charming, simple setting. It has an interesting history, originally being a women’s hostel run by the Salvation Army and although it was renovated in 1996, it still retains much of its historic charm as well as its Christian-inspired, welcoming attitude. It also offers lovely views of the city from its rooms, thanks to its superb location, not to mention a great breakfast spread.
