Where to stay in Geneva? Hotel Rotary MGallery

For some time, I have been getting messages asking me where to stay in Geneva. This is difficult to answer because it depends on your budget, personal tastes, etc… But, in February, on my way to a business lunch, I fell in love with this place.

I thought, “I'll take the risk of proposing it without ever having stayed there, contrary to my usual practice.”  If I were a tourist I would choose this boutique hotel because it is well located and tranquil despite the dynamic neighbourhood and I am also fond of its elegant and chic décor.

I asked the MGallery manager (thank you, Hervé, for your welcome and availability) if we could arrange a visit and photo shoot, which he kindly accepted to do.

So, ladies and gents, this is my suggestion. I would really appreciate it if you drop me a line with your feedback after your stay.


Location
Located in the business district. A discreet façade, nestled in a kind of a courtyard. No more than a ten-minute walk from Lake Geneva, Cornavin train station or the luxurious Rue du Rhône and also close to many excellent restaurants and trendy wine bars and cafes.


Hotel
A superior four-star boutique hotel, elegantly decorated by London-based interior designers, showcasing many objects found by the owner during his travels over the years. My personal feeling is that it is intimate, cosy and homely; I felt more like I was in a large private house, only the presence of the staff reminded me that this is a hotel.



The Lobby
Nice, small lobby which gave me the feeling of intimacy that I love so much. There is no bling-bling here, this is a classy place: the main customers are businessmen or couples enjoying a romantic weekend. As you will have understood, the hotel is not suitable for families with small children.


Bedrooms
I was speechless in the face of such beauty! The rooms are a respectable size and they seem very comfortable…

The bathroom
The bathroom is small but comfortable, with enough storage space and everything you need, dressing gown, etc.…



…and they are graced with a beautiful set of products by Bigelow Apothecaries…


The “Artisan” Lounge-Bar and Restaurant
You can indulge yourself with French cuisine and a couple of international dishes. I loved the excellent service and relaxed atmosphere, even though there were many business lunches taking place at the same time. The tables are close together and, once again, it felt like home.





In summer, the restaurant offers a terrace with a fountain...

I hope you have enjoyed this enthusiastic tour.

  6. I have known this hotel for some while and am blown away by the refurbishment job that has been done here. They have preserved the old word charm while bringing the place right up to date! The rooms look stunning. Let's hope for some fine weather since I have always loved the terrace by the fountain and your post has inspired me to try a sunny lunchtime there.
