La Réserve Genève: the lakeside palace in Bellevue
In Bellevue, outside the city, La Réserve offers a lakeside park, a spa and interiors by Jacques Garcia. Geneva's destination hotel, rated 4.7 from 1,900 reviews.
The verdict
La Réserve is not a hotel for rushing around Geneva, it is a hotel for slowing down. Its park runs down to the lake in Bellevue, and the interiors bear the signature of decorator Jacques Garcia.
Its Google rating of 4.7 from 1,900 reviews is one of the highest among the region's palaces.
Things to do there
The spa, the pool and the garden are the reason for the stay, with restaurants that also draw Genevans. In summer, the waterside terrace makes you forget the city.
The trade-off is distance: every outing into town needs a taxi or public transport, fifteen to thirty minutes depending on traffic.
Our advice
Choose it for a restful stay or a getaway for two, not for a week of meetings. When we checked, no rooms were offered on Google Hotels for the fair's public weekend.
