Dubai, United Arab Emirates – 6 May 2018
Beau-Rivage Geneva, the oldest hotel in the city, has been a home for royals and celebrities since 1865 where every celebrity has left their mark. Renowned for its nostalgic charm, modern-day travellers can re-live the belle-époque era with the hotel’s historic suits and newly launched Celestial rooms at their rooftop floor with starry views from guest’s beds.
Vacation like a celebrity, whether you are looking for a family getaway or a romantic couple’s escape. With its prime location on the shores of Lake Geneva and three facades overlooking the mountains, lake and the city, it’s no wonder Beau-Rivage Geneva has been a holiday spot for many A-listers and royals for over a century. The iconic Sissi suite, named after the Austrian Empress, has a prime view of Lac Leman. Her room furniture has been kept intact, in keeping with elegant period furnishings and antique pieces from the hotel’s notable collection, guests are treated to a box of her favourite flavoured macarons. A long list of modern celebrities, fashion icons, artists and novelists have stayed at the iconic hotel where their testimonials and signatures sit on a large mural.
The family-owned hotel boasts their celestial rooms located at the hotel’s uppermost floors. The brand new prestigious suites are great for families as they reach up to 250m2 to feel like lofts with two-meter long windows to soak in nature’s views of the iconic Jet d’Eau. Equipped with modern technology and staying loyal to its vibrant baroque décor, guests can sleep under the starry sky or wake to sunrise as they control their ceiling views from the comfort of their own beds.
No Geneva stay is complete without a tasty indulgence at a Michelin-starred restaurant. Beau-Rivage Geneva is home to Le Chat-Botté whose chef, Dominique Gauthier, promises a unique culinary moment with his skilfully orchestrated seasonal menu. The hotel is keen on the Arab culture and offers tailor-made services that will excel the expectations in regard to the oriental values. A halal menu is available and the terrace is the perfect place to savour it; overlooking the lake, it delights the taste buds and the eyes.

About Beau-Rivage
Founded in 1865 by Jean-Jacques Mayer, Beau-Rivage has remained in the hands of the same family over five generations. Faithful to its founding philosophy, the family perpetuates the Beau-Rivage spirit with great passion in reverence to the grandeur that has been shaped over time by distinguished guests and eminent visitors. Along the coveted promenade of the shores of Lake Geneva, Beau-Rivage enjoys a privileged location in the heart of Geneva: close to the business district; five minutes from the Old Town with its famous cobbled streets and museums; and within ten minutes drive from the airport and international organizations. Since its opening, Beau-Rivage has cultivated an authentic art de vivre (lifestyle), and today it vaunts 80 splendid rooms and 15 magnificent suites, each of which are a real discovery.
