- 189 rooms and suites, Rhône and Old Town views
- Two restaurants including Yakumanka by Gastón Acurio
- Spa with hammam and indoor pool
- Five minutes on foot from the Pont de la Machine and the Old Town
The Mandarin sits on the right bank of the Rhône, a short walk upstream from where the river leaves the lake, and the rooms looking across to the Old Town are the ones to ask for. The house has been the group's Geneva flagship for years and the service follows the Mandarin code without local compromise.
Yakumanka, Gastón Acurio's Peruvian ceviche room, is the most interesting table inside any Geneva hotel right now and worth a dinner even if you are not staying. The spa is quiet, the pool is short but clean, and the location is the right one for the banking quarter and the Old Town in equal measure.
Book it for the working week in Geneva.
