Hôtel Les Armures Genève
Hospitable history: Just a cobblestone away from museums, galleries and shopping, the 5-star hotel inspires with historical coziness.
The Hotel Les Armures in Geneva city center is surrounded by the most important picture frames: The medieval Maison Tavel is within focusing distance, and the Geneva Museum of Art and History is also just around the corner. The Hotel Les Armures itself is also steeped in history: The family residence from the 13th century with exquisite 17th-century décor, which has been carefully renovated under the strict gaze of the historic preservation authorities. The effort has paid off: the guest book is full of famous names such as Pippa Middleton, Paul Mc. Cartney, Richard Branson and George Clooney.
You should take a guided tour of the 32 rooms and junior suites: Painted beamed ceilings, fireplaces and window surrounds made of natural stone make the hotel a gem of a bygone era. On the modern side, flat-screen TVs, Nespresso machines and air conditioning harmonize perfectly with the historical design and remain discreetly in the background. After a wonderful night's sleep, you should take advantage of the first-class breakfast: Fruit salad, muesli, local cheese and croissants make for a sumptuous start to the day. The breakfast room, which dates back to the 17th century, also offers daily news in the form of national and international newspapers.
'Les Armures' is one of the oldest restaurants in the city and a popular meeting place for business people, tourists and locals alike. In keeping with the medieval ambience, the cuisine is traditional: raclette, fondue and French delicacies are the mainstays of a menu that changes with the seasons. Guests can choose between the terrace, the air-conditioned dining room or the cellar, where cheese fondue and Bordeaux with friends taste particularly good between old stone walls. The excellent service also includes a banquet service for a maximum of 60 people - menu suggestions are available on request.
