Geneva Hotels
Hotels in Geneva regularly feature as the world’s most expensive. The nature of the city as a business and diplomatic hub means that polished accommodation options are easily found with most big-name chain hotels well represented. That’s not to say that there aren’t cheap hotels in Geneva though, and if you’re keen to steer away from the corporate properties there are some great little finds out there.
The Geneva hotels below have been hand-picked by our guide author and are grouped into three pricing categories:
Luxury (over CHF450)
Moderate (CHF200 to CHF450)
Cheap (under CHF200)
These Geneva hotel prices are the starting prices for a standard double room and include taxes. Breakfast is extra.
