The River Rhone and snow-capped mountains are the idyllic setting for the seven-story Mandarin Oriental – once the Hotel du Rhone. With its preserved Art Deco style, the elegant hotel was the first hotel built in Europe after WW2 and deserves a place in the history books.
With the opulence of modern art flourishes and warm color schemes, you’ll find locals, visitors, and prominent guests – from royalty to musicians – gathered for innovative cocktails and upscale dining. As imperial as it is, the spacious rooms (181 guest rooms and 35 suites) styled by Sybille de Margerie and Buz Design, Hong Kong, evoke a warm feeling emphasizing comfortable luxury.
Suites, like the Riverview Deluxe Suite, are calmed by neutral hues, an abundance of light, and sweeping views of the River Rhone. The private retreat feel is also equipped with Bang & Olufsen television and audio equipment or Bose Bluetooth speakers for unparalleled picture and sound. Elevate to the Rooftop Junior Suite to take in the breathtaking views on your 20-square-meter outdoor terrace.
Those seeking sumptuous comfort and spectacular views opt for MO’s 325 sqm Royal Penthouse – one of the most oversized suites in Geneva designed with contemporary elegance. It boasts a splendid 175 square-meter terrace, panoramic vistas, a master bedroom with hammam shower, two further en-suite bedrooms, and a spacious living room carefully zoned into separate dining and lounge areas and with a cozy setting next to a fireplace.
Given the abundance of French dining, the Mandarin Oriental extends its culinary journey to offer modern Japanese signature dishes at Sachi for an intimate 10-seater Omakase bar and a zen garden terrace for a majestic setting on the Rhone waterside.
Savor an authentic cebicheria (ceviche restaurant) at Yakumanka, headed by the renowned Chef Daniel Galvez Estrada. Guests can take in the inviting, marine-accented surrounding as they gaze at chefs preparing cebiche and tiradito or indulge in the relaxing view over the Rhône from the covered terrace, subtly styled to transport you to the heart of a typical Peruvian cebichería.
When you decide to leave the hotel, the Old Town is but a few steps away with designer boutiques that line the streets of Geneva. It continues to be a playground for the wealthy, exuding all the refinement and elegance of a world-class luxury hotel and the embodiment of legendary Swiss heritage and Asian hospitality.
There’s no better way to enjoy luxury.
