Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues is Geneva's original grand hotel, opened in 1834 at the water's edge where the Rhône leaves the lake. It combines historic grandeur with a rooftop spa and pool.

A classic for lake views and flawless service.

Where you’ll be

The hotel stands on the Quai des Bergues, a short walk across the bridges to the Old Town and the shopping streets of the left bank. The Jet d'Eau and the lakefront are right there.

The stay

Rooms and suites are classically elegant, with lake or city views. The rooftop spa and pool look over the lake, and the restaurants include an Italian dining room and a Japanese rooftop restaurant.
