La Réserve Genève
Lakeside luxe with an African twist
An exquisite treat set along the tranquil shores of Switzerland’s Lake Geneva, this 102-key hostelry counts among the area’s finest properties, partially thanks to its idyllic setting on 10 hectares of tranquil Lake Geneva shoreline, as well as its exotic interiors, a Jacques Garcia-designed milieu oft compared to that of a period African game reserve (think animal-print rugs and parrots embedded in lampshades). An award-winning spa specialised in anti-ageing treatments as well as five restaurants, including a widely praised Cantonese eatery, add to the eclectic mise en scène.
