At the edge of Lake Geneva, the city’s very first hotel has been a beloved<br />

landmark since its opening in 1834. Reborn for the 21st century as Four<br />

Seasons Hotel des Bergues Geneva, the seven-storey neoclassical building<br />

was transformed through two years of refurbishments. Interior architect<br />

Pierre-Yves Rochon focused the renovations on recapturing the hotel’s<br />

historic spirit – creating interiors that ‘could have been’ in 1834. Classic<br />

French furnishings blend Directoire, Louis XVI and Louis-Philippe styles<br />

to bring a fresh, bright and airy ambiance. The color palette of greens and<br />

blues – inspired by the waters of Lake Geneva – is reflected throughout the<br />

public spaces, 65 guest rooms and across all 35 premier suites, offering<br />

guests an unrivalled and opulent experience.<br />

Why we love it: With palatial grandeur, the five-bedroom Royal Suite<br />

soars with high ceilings, tall windows and a private terrace overlooking<br />

the city and Lake Geneva. A superb suite in which to entertain;<br />

furnishings are impeccable French reproductions, echoing the style of<br />

Versailles. Lavish silks, velvets and jacquards have been sourced from<br />

the finest Parisian fabric houses. The most complex detailing includes<br />

the plasterwork for the decorative mouldings, friezes and cartouches –<br />

cast on site and hand painted to achieve the patina of history. The suite<br />

offers a spacious marble foyer, living room with formal dining room for<br />

eight and adjacent pantry, parlor with double sofa bed, and a high-tech<br />

office designed as a library. The marble master bathroom features<br />

a double vanity, window-side designer bathtub offering lake views,<br />

separate rain shower, LCD flat-screen television, steam-resistant mirrors<br />

and heated towel racks. A guest powder room adjoins the living area.
