Ritz-Carlton's Stunning new Hotel On The Shores Of Lake Geneva

Hotel de la Paix

, which occupies a 19th-century Italian-esque boutique hotel and offers views of the lake and iconic Mont Blanc beyond, is the first Ritz-Carlton property in Switzerland.

Following an extensive renovation and rebranding, the Hotel de la Paix features 61 guest rooms and 14 suites lavishly decorated in soft shades of grey and white. All rooms have views of Lake Geneva or Mont Blanc Square.

The elegant Mont Blanc suite impresses with its wooden floor, high ceiling, fireplace and two full bathrooms.

Throughout its public spaces, the hotel retains its original Italian architecture with the addition of contemporary details. The hotel centres around a beautiful and vast atrium with black-and-white marble floors and a dazzling, teardrop chandelier hanging overhead.

Hotel de la Paix, Geneva Living Bar & Kitchen is the hotel’s all-day dining restaurant, where Italian head chef Alessio Corda, of Spain’s El Bulli and Ritz-Carlton’s Okinawa and Osaka properties, offers “seasonal and creative” fine-dining with views of the lake outside. The hotel’s second restaurant is FiskeBar, a fanciful take on a traditional Copenhagen fish market that will be the first Nordic cuisine concept in Geneva when it opens later this month. Additionally, this being Switzerland, the hotel features its own delightful chocolate shop. The pretty Philippe Pascoët Philippe Pascoët offers a refined selection of the country’s most celebrated sweet.
