What a gorgeous hotel. This is definitely my favorite hotel in Geneva and it's one of the last of…read morethe privately owned (not big chain) five star grand hotels in the city center. The lobby is small and intimate but fabulous and all done in woods, Italian marble, lots of plush green walls with marble busts, statues and artwork. There's also the famous "Leopard Bar" in the hotel. I booked via AMEX FHR (the hotel is also a member of Leading Hotels of the World) and got a wonderful deal with breakfast and a room upgrade. Try to get a room in the front of the hotel facing the lake because you'll have the most beautiful view of the jet d'eau and the quai. Reception was so kind and actually showed me a couple of rooms. I ended up taking a room that was on the side because I loved the color and the artwork, but I could still see the lake when I looked out the window. All the rooms are different colors and shades and have different themes. Mine had a turquoise hue with a Parisian "can can" theme, original artwork and a chandelier. I also saw a room in the center with a direct view of the fountain that had a nautical royal blue theme. The thing this hotel is really famous for is the high tea at the Windows restaurant. Make a reservation in advance because it's very popular. It's something you can't miss. Try to nab a window seat with a view of the lake. The tiered tea tray is incredible and they make fabulous scones. I actually consumed an entire tier by myself! They also have a wonderful breakfast in Windows restaurant and I highly recommend the fresh crêpes with maple syrup (sirop d'érable). After breakfast, take a walk in front of the hotel to the quai where there is a modern statue for the Empress of Austria, Sisi, who was tragically assassinated nearby in the 19th century. She was staying at the Beau Rivage hotel next door. All in all this is my favorite hotel in the area. You won't be disappointed if you love the classic, grand hotel style. As it's privately owned and a part of the Red Carnation hotel group, it's not completely modernized and sparkling high tech new like some of the other hotels which have lost their character. That's its charm. And it's beautifully run and well managed. After a day the staff all knew me by name, Even the staff that I had not met! I don't know how they do that , but it's very nice

***This review is for their Afternoon Tea service only.***…read more Amazing tea service with a friendly service. I have never been to an afternoon tea were the portions were so big. They're not even "finger" sandwiches but rather regular sandwiches. They have a variety of tea to choose from and everything was so good, we didn't have dinner that night.

J'aime bien l'hotel Swissotel Metropole!…read more OK, that was the limit of my French, so back to English. In the 10 or so times that I've been to Geneva, I have always (except once when it was full), stayed at the Metropole. A couple of reasons for this: Number 1, it is really close to my office (although the office has now moved). However, for people not travelling for work, this translates to "it is close to the town centre", which makes it easy to access the shops and restaurants. It is also facing Lake Geneva, which makes it easy to cross the bridge and access the restaurants on the other side of the lake. Number 2, the service is impeccable. The staff are always really polite, and when I was at the height of frequent visits, the manager knew me by name. Even after a year, he still recognised me. When my parents celebrated their wedding anniversary here a few years ago, I put in a quick call to the hotel, who organised champagne and fruits, which was a really nice gesture. Number 3, they have a loyalty scheme (always a bonus when you're a frequent traveller). The only main downside to the hotel is the cost - the full cooked buffet breakfast is a whopping CHF42! Although, I suspect this is fairly in-line with costs in Geneva generally. It's a very good business-styled hotel. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a booking for my next visit, so will need to try out another hotel. Boo.

I went for a long walk around the lake at night and in the morning it was a quick walk to coffee if you want to get out of the hotel/ Really nothing to complain about as far as the hotel itself. Chocolate in the room upon arrival. Decent bed. Most importantly, air conditioning that worked on a very hot summer day. I would stay the Ritz Carlton I walked by nearby next time but it was okay enough. They weren't super nice at check in when I told them that no, I was paying for the room and it should have been in my name. Pretty sure he rolled his eyes at me, even if not intentional. They also could not give change at the desk for USD/CHF, which is pretty standard at hotels in Europe. Aside from that and being less than impressed with how small the room was, even for EU, it was good enough but not anymore than 3 stars for me.

Wonderful views of lake Geneva and the famous fountain and the location couldn't be better. I mentioned the service.. the concierges were always available and both accommodating and understanding. The bartenders and bell men remembered my name and my drink; in fact I believe everyone remembered my name and there is almost nothing quite as impressive as adherence to a team concept of serving your customers. The Ritz had it down. No they don't have a spa; but they accommodated us with in room massages that were excellent. If you're lucky enough to be there during the "dans la noir" dinner, it's well worth the time and was quite a dining adventure. (And another chance for the team at this hotel to flex their service abilities) During a night out in Geneva, when we couldn't find ice cream, yes we called our friends at the concierge desk who were happy to direct us: there wasn't a thing that the staff at his hotel wasn't available for!
