Geneva is a sparkling city, rich in history and embedded in gorgeous scenery. The rolling Alps and beautiful lake are views you will never tire of. But it's also a small enough city to get to know quite quickly. After a leisurely breakfast, just take bus no. 5 in front of the hotel, direction Bel-Air, right to the heart of Geneva's historical district where you can admire three of Geneva's cultural landmarks: the Grand Theater, the Music Conservatory and the Rath Museum. The architecture is breathtaking and should also give you a sense of the place, and the influences under which the city has evolved. Afterwards, take a walk through the Parc des Bastions and discover the famous Reformation Wall that shows the four great figures of Calvinism, an integral and symbolic part of Switzerland's history. Walk up the hill to the Old Town where you can enjoy an authentic Swiss lunch at Les Armures. With a bit of luck, you can have the table where President Clinton first discovered the real taste of Swiss cheese fondue. Alternatively you can return to the hotel for lunch at the Woods restaurant, where you can taste a huge array of great wines.

After lunch take a walk to the Botanical Garden, 10 minutes away from the hotel, where you can discover 15,000 different plant species from all over the planet. The imagination of Mother Nature is always humbling to behold. Then, take a well-earned rest on the magnificent terrace of the Perle du Lac, an idyllic spot for an afternoon to melt into an evening. Enjoy a glass of Pinot Noir with the magnificent view of Lake Leman front of you.

Finish your evening with a little adventure by visiting Casino du Lac, just five minutes away from the hotel by car. Have a whirl on the tables and if you're lucky, you may leave Geneva with more than just wonderful memories.
