Le Richemond

Le Richemond is one of the most prestigious hotels in Geneva, it is set on the banks of Lake Geneva, overlooking the famous Jet di??Eau, with the snow-capped Alps in the distance. The hotel has been a destination for international travellers since 1875, when it was an upmarket guesthouse. As its reputation for service and style grew, so did its clientele, which included some of the greatest names of the 20th century, including Charlie Chaplin, Louis Armstrong and Sophie Loren. In the last century, guests fell in love with Le Richemondi??s wrought-iron balconies, its views of Brunswick Gardens and Lake Li??man, and its discreet peace and quiet. These are still some of the reasons guests keep returning. This luxury hotel was renovated and refurbished when it became part of the Rocco Forte Collection. The historic building kept its old-fashioned charm, but was updated in a bold, contemporary style with colourful fabrics, classic furniture and large, marble-lined bathrooms. As well as new-look rooms and suites, a destination spa, highly acclaimed Italian restaurant and bar were created, making Le Richemond one of the most desirable five-star deluxe hotels in Geneva and Switzerland.
