Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues Geneva
First rate pampering in a city which every city on earth could learn a thing or two from about discreet luxury


Overlooking the navy waters of Lake Geneva and just the throw of a bundle of Swiss Francs from the Financial District, the Four Seasons des Bergues does a sterling job of creating an effortlessly efficient Swiss vibe without it curdling into corporate sterility. This neo-classical palace boasts huge windows which let the sunlight simply flood through to the rooms, some of which have the expected gargantuan curtains and Louis Philippe chairs and some of which have a more contemporary look. The main restaurant Il Lago recently gained its first Michelin star and there are few dining experiences more sumptuous than taking on the eight course truffle tasting menu.
