Amazing location right on Lake Geneva with stunning views of the Jet d'Eau ! The staff were friendly and professional, the indoor pool and spa were highlights, and the rooms were comfortable.

Just love this hotel! The location is right on the water with beautiful views! The rooms are comfortable. The spa and pool are so nice! The service by the concierge specifically “Paul” was outstanding!!! He was so helpful and efficient with finding us the best way to visit Evian. He got us the train schedules and helped us with buying tickets online. Saved us so much time in trying to find this information ourselves at the train station. He was so friendly and pleasant. Please recognize his exceptional service. He is a most valuable asset to the Fairmont family.

My partner and I were celebrating our 4-year anniversary at the hotel. The room and SPA were nice, the dinner at Il Vero was ok (small menu and regular Italian dishes), but we truly enjoyed our time at the bar with music and good cocktails! Even if there were not many people, we had fun by ourselves and nobody was disturbing us. However, the overall impression of the hotel is "old": it needs a renovation!

great location of course, if you're lucky view on the lake from your room. The service for our seminar was excellent. Nice personnel, always at disposition. Downside: the hotel is overpriced compared to what you get. Hotel needs a bit of refurbishment: modern showers, carpets instead of parquet, no possibilty to open windows

I surprised my husband with a stay at this hotel and asked them to prepare something special for his birthday, like a small "Happy Birthday" letter. However, I never expected them to go above and beyond to make this day truly unforgettable. They even took care of our cat, providing all the necessary amenities. The entire hotel team's thoughtful gestures made us feel incredibly special. We also treated ourselves to a 2.5-hour pampering session at their Duo Spa Suite, and I highly recommend this experience. If you visit during this season, make sure to try their winter concept restaurant, Le 384. And the breakfast they served in our room exceeded all our expectations.

First, the positives. Great location. Out dated interior but quiet. The front desk ladies are the best in the business and I do not say this litely. Absolutely professional and perfect. The concierge excellent as well. Now, the negatives. The food and beverage department is horrific. The food itself is good to excellent but staff and poor service is the worst I've ever seen for a such a presitigous brand. It really comes down to just bad management. Second, the hotel allows smoking. Some places reak of smoke.

Where can I eat near Fairmont Grand Hotel Geneva?

The hotel itself has three restaurants: Il Vero for Italian, Le Grill for steaks, and Lóu One for Chinese, plus the FloorTwo Lounge and FloorTwo Bar. For a change of scene, the Brunswick Monument is a 3-minute walk and the Jet d'Eau is 6 minutes away, so you can stroll along the lakefront and find cafés and eateries along Quai du Mont-Blanc. The Old Town, a 13-minute walk, has more dining options around Tavel House and Place du Bourg-de-Four. You can also join the Award-Winning Geneva Chocolate & Old Town Tour to taste local treats while exploring.
