What’s the backstory

The La Réserve Genève, often referred to as the hidden paradise, was conceived by Michel Reybier. With its inception in 2003, the hotel was designed to meet unrivalled standards of luxury and style. Renowned Parisian designer Jacques Garcia envisioned an idyllic setting, effortlessly blending modernity with a distinct African charm that guides its unique aesthetic today.

Let's take a stroll down memory lane, shall we? Over the years, La Réserve Genève has left an indelible imprint on the hotel industry with its superior service, innovative features, and a holistic approach to hospitality. The lavish establishment seamlessly intertwines opulence with wellness, creating a resort that not only pampers but also rejuvenates.

Price Range

With its 5-star rating, sophisticated rooms and suites, Michelin-starred restaurant, and world-class spa facilities, it's clear from first glance that this hotel is not for the budget-conscious traveler. Nestled amidst 10 acres of lush parkland on the shores of Lake Geneva, the prices here can be as breath-taking as the views. Picture this - a classic room could set you back somewhere in the range of 500 to 800 Swiss Francs per night, and if you're eyeing one of their opulent suites, be prepared to see a number north of 2000 Swiss Francs.

Keep in mind, however, that the seasonal fluctuations and the type of package you opt for will significantly impact the final bill.
