The Hotel d’Angleterre in Geneva is now offering special room rates for knowitall.ch readers and their guests.
With spectacular views overlooking Lake Geneva, this luxurious five-star boutique hotel provides an elegant mixture of British Chic and traditional sophistication, with a wide range of rooms, restaurants and bars to satisfy all tastes. Located just a 10 minute walk away from the main shopping districts (Rue du Rhone and Rue du Marché), the hotel is also very handy for visiting local tourist attractions such as the Patek Philippe Museum, the Watchmaking Museum and the Museum of Natural Sciences.
Each of the 45 rooms and suites in the hotel has been individually designed but with one common theme: personalized service tailored to the individual needs and wishes of its guests. Exceptional amenities and thoughtful touches throughout each of the rooms include homemade chocolates and fresh fruit, twice daily maid service, Penhaligon’s bath products, plush bathrobes and slippers, magazines, ipod docking stations, free Wifi, and satellite pay movie services – to name but a few! All windows are sound-proofed and many rooms offer balconies with stunning lake views.
For families, it is possible to book adjoining rooms and suites, and an extra bed can be added free of charge for children up to the age of 12 years. Children’s toys including Wii consoles are also available on request – but if you follow the hotel’s recommendations for family attractions and nearby kid’s activities you probably won’t have much need for these!
A children’s menu is also provided in the hotel’s Windows Restaurant, where French chef, Michael Coquelle, provides an authentic and varied cuisine using local and seasonal produce. For business lunches, the themed Fast and Delicious menu, which changes every 2 weeks, is ideal for quick meals requiring fast service.
As mentioned on our site before, the hotel’s Afternoon Tea is something everyone should think about trying when staying or living in Geneva. Adapted from Mrs. Tollman’s home recipes, this copious high tea includes savory scones, delectable finger sandwiches, and a selection of pastries, not to mention the renowned, high quality Betjeman & Barton tea. The theme for these afternoon teas also varies each month according to the season and any local festivities.
Before retiring to their rooms, many guests at the Hotel d’Angleterre like to sink into the leather chairs at the Leopard Bar, a treasure trove of splendid artefacts including tables made from authentic vintage Louis Vuitton suitcases, and numerous Leopard paintings, sculptures and luxurious prints. Decorated with British elegance and colonial South Africa-inspired furnishings, the bar has a warm and vibrant ambience where guests can enjoy enticing cocktails while listening to talented live entertainment.
A new Cigar Lounge has also recently been unveiled at the hotel and is fast becoming popular with guests and local cigar aficionados alike. Stylish furnishings and original artwork add to the luxurious décor, and a world-class cigar and beverage menu is sure to impress even the most discerning of guests.
Not only do the hotel guests get outstanding personal service at the Hotel d’Angleterre, so do their pets! Four-legged friends get the full celebrity treatment, including a “pet concierge” service with special walks along the water front of Lake Geneva. The management of the Red Carnation Hotels group, of which the Hotel d’Angleterre is one of their more recent members, clearly have thought about everything!
