Review
The Mandarin provides the ultimate comfort for the modern businessperson in Geneva, while appealing to leisure travelers as well. The Swiss Tourism Board even named it the most welcoming luxury city hotel in Switzerland in 2014. Small details like uber-fast Wi-Fi (the hotel claims it is the fastest in the city), allows business travelers to work efficiently and in comfort. Each room even contains a mini bar which the staff can restock from the outside, so as to never disturb guests.
The hotel boasts several restaurants, including the casual Café Calla and MO Bar, which are popular amongst local business people for lunch, dinner and drinks. The hotel is also home to Rasoi, an innovative, one-Michelin-starred Indian restaurant. The Mandarin’s common spaces are great for work functions and parties alike. Located on the edge of the business district, on the banks of the Rhône River and just a short walk from the Old Town, the hotel allows guests easy access to all of Geneva’s main sites.
The hotel has 169 rooms, including 27 suites, all of which are decorated in a contemporary style (the best feature stunning views of the Rhône River). The highly coveted suites on the 7th floor all have access to their own private terraces, which provide sweeping views of the city and Rhône and are perfect for summertime cocktails. Indagare Tip: Request a room on a high floor as the lower floors are subject to the noisy streets.
Who Should Stay
Those looking for top notch service and comfort, especially business travelers.
