Dinner at Le 17
Le 17 cooks over a Josper grill, with the lake and the Jet d’Eau beyond the windows. Dinner is served every evening from 7pm to 10.15pm.1
Hôtel d’Angleterre
At the d’Angleterre I would choose the Bellevue Suite: 70 m² with a balcony on the lake, and the Jet d’Eau in the doorway. There are 45 rooms on the Quai du Mont-Blanc, and the Leopard Bar has live music 6 nights a week.
A week here, month by monthI would choose the d’Angleterre for a few nights with the lake in front and the evening at the Leopard Bar: from 16 to 27 January 2027 a night for 2 starts at CHF 563. For a holiday built around a spa and a pool, I would look for a larger hotel.

The room on the lake
I would ask for an Exclusive Lake View: 37 m² on average, with a bed of at least 180 by 200 cm and the lake in front. The Classic Queens face the courtyard, so for the view I would skip them.
January nights
From 16 to 22 January 2027 every night costs CHF 563, each taken on its own. The night of 5 March 2027 reaches CHF 1,006; for March I would try a few dates before choosing.
The car with the valet
Arriving by car, I would allow CHF 55 a night for the valet. The car goes to an underground public car park with a 1.9-metre height limit; with a tall van I would find another option.
The boat by the door
The free boat shuttle leaves from just outside the hotel, and the digital transport card covers buses and trams for the whole stay. I would forget about taxis.
What the d’Angleterre is
It suits a couple who want the lake outside the window, the service of a small house and a bar that keeps going late. For the view I would start with the 37 m² Exclusive Lake View: the Classic Queen faces the courtyard.12
There is no spa, pool or gym in the building: guests use the fitness club 50 metres away free of charge, with a sauna and hammam. Anyone planning a wellness day will be happier elsewhere.12

The 5 things that matter, as guests tell them
What do d’Angleterre’s guests say? They write it in their reviews, even those who only came for a drink or dinner: we read every one and tell the 5 things that matter, from the location to the bill.
Location
Nearly every guest who mentions it is happy with it. Guests write about the lake outside the door, with the Jet d’Eau and Mont Blanc on clear days.
Room
8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests like the classic, well-kept rooms; those in the smallest ones find them tight, and some would like the furniture refreshed.
Staff and service
9 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests remember the staff by name, from the front desk to afternoon tea; one guest has made a birthday here a yearly tradition.
Breakfast
8 in 10 guests who mention it are happy with it. Guests like breakfast facing the lake; those who find it small still say it has everything you need.
Price
Few guests write about the price: those who find it fair talk about the service, those who find it high about the smaller rooms and the tea.
How we count
| What | Guests’ score | Guests who mention it | Happy |

| Location | 8.6 | 114 | 96% |

323 guests said so on Google, from 21 October 2012 to 11 October 2026. The other hotels are the ones weighed for a stay in Geneva: for each we read its latest 500 Google reviews with text, or all of them where there are fewer, as of 20 October 2026. The score is the average of what they say, from 0 if they speak of it very badly to 10 if they speak of it very well. Where only a few mention something, the score stays close to the guide’s average: a handful of voices does not make a reputation.
The hotels we weigh it against in Geneva:
- Beau-Rivage Genève
- The Ritz-Carlton Hotel de la Paix, Geneva
- Four Seasons Hotel Des Bergues
- The Woodward, Auberge Collection
Price: for 2, the night of 14 January 2027, from 563 CHF on Google Hotels on 20 October 2026.
What a night costs, period by period
From December 2026 to 27 January 2027 a night runs from CHF 563 to CHF 642, each taken on its own. From 28 March to 13 September 2027 it rises to CHF 660–960; I would choose winter.
| Period | CHF a night |
|---|---|
| 20 October to 30 November 2026 | 619–748 |
| 1 December 2026 to 27 January 2027 | 563–642 |
| 28 January to 27 March 2027 | 612–1,006 |
| 28 March to 13 September 2027 | 660–960 |
Each figure is the lowest price for 2 adults of one night taken alone, whatever the room. The calendar runs to 13 September 2027; 5 March 2027, at CHF 1,006, is the dearest night.

An evening at the Leopard Bar
The Leopard Bar opens daily from 7pm to 2am; from Monday to Saturday there is live music until 1am, with more than 50 whiskies and sushi.1
A cigar after dinner
The Cigar Lounge opens Monday to Saturday from 7pm to 2am, and welcomes people who are not staying at the hotel.1
Good to know before you book
Not every room faces the lake: the Classic Queen and the Junior Suite look onto the courtyard, the Premium King onto the city. The lake starts with the Exclusive Lake View.1234
Parking is valet only, at CHF 55 a night; cars go to an underground public car park with a 1.9-metre height limit.1
From Monday to Saturday the Leopard Bar has live music until 1am: for early nights I would ask for a higher floor.12

Still choosing?
Hôtel Les Armures
Les Armures is a 17th-century house one minute from St Peter’s Cathedral. Its 32 rooms share the house with Geneva’s oldest café, where the evening means a moitié-moitié fondue.
Hôtel de la Cigogne
At La Cigogne, on Place Longemalle, the lounge fire is lit on winter evenings beneath murals of the city. Its 49 rooms are all different, a short walk from the lake and the Old Town.
Beau-Rivage Genève
At the Beau-Rivage I would choose the Junior Suite Lake View Panorama: 45 m² facing the Jet d’Eau, with balconies. There are 95 rooms and suites on the Quai du Mont-Blanc, and the same family has run the house since 1865.
Four Seasons Hotel Des Bergues
At Four Seasons des Bergues Geneva, your day can begin with a swim above the rooftops and finish at IZUMI: on the terrace in summer, in the library in winter.
Hotel President Wilson
On Lake Geneva’s quay, the President Wilson pairs dinner at Bayview with an outdoor pool for the warmer months. I would start with a lake-facing room.
La Réserve Genève
Here the park runs down to the lake: the outdoor pool sits among the trees, with Lake Geneva and the Alps ahead. I’d bring even the youngest, since La Petite Réserve takes them from 6 months, and keep an evening for Cantonese dinner at Tsé Fung.
InterContinental Geneva
From a Junior Suite Lake View I would look out to the lake and Mont Blanc, with 45 m² for time indoors. This is the international district, convenient for the UN and farther from the centre.
The Dolder Grand
Curhaus towers above Zurich, art in the corridors and warm water facing the city.
Lausanne Palace
Lausanne climbs behind the palace; from the right rooms, the lake appears beyond the rooftops.
ERMITAGE Wellness- & Spa-Hotel
In Schönried the brine pool runs outdoors; inside, the Stuben and cake table slow the day.
Gstaad Palace
The palace Gstaad looks up to, from fondue in an old vault to music at GreenGo.
Bürgenstock Hotel & Alpine Spa
From boat to ridge, Lake Lucerne returns in the view from the warm pool.
