The 230sqm Royal Suite – the Armleder Suite – will feature two terraces with panoramic views of the Alps, the Jura Mountains, Lake Geneva and the Old Town. The restaurant, Sapori, will offer authentic Italian cuisine whilst “Le Bar” and its terrace will provide the ideal setting to unwind while shipping cocktails in a vibrant and stylish atmosphere.

Rocco Forte Le Richemond is a Geneva institution, occupying an enviable location opposite the Brunswick Gardens and overlooking the Alps, Lake Geneva and the Old Town Cathedral for more than 130 years. From here, I can walk to business meetings as well as exclusive boutiques, making it an ideal hotel in which to combine work and pleasure. Inside, any of 109 welcoming and colorful guestrooms and suites awaits, in addition to the new Spa and the fine Italian restaurant - ask for a table on the outdoor terrace and watch the world go by.
