Location

Within a beautiful 10-acre park, the cleverly concealed reserve is just two miles from the airport and three miles from the city centre, which is easily reached in ten minutes by road or by the hotel’s own very chic motoscafo which whisks you across Lake Geneva.

Style and Character

Playing on the name of the hotel, designer Jacques Garcia has re-imagined an African game reserve with striking décor from oversized prints of lions, sculpted elephant heads and spotted rugs, to a line of jellyfish lights lining the indoor swimming pool in the spa. It is fun, warm and very stylish.

Rooms

Michel Reybier’s inspired vision took shape with the help of Parisian interior designer Jacques Garcia. The 81 rooms and 21 suites interpret the refined style of African lodges with luxurious linens and a particularly delicious range of La Réserve toiletries in the elegant black granite and marble bathrooms. The spacious rooms open wide onto the exterior, and some even have a patio with direct access to pool and park. Providing delightful views over the sparkling waters of Lake Geneva from their balcony or terrace, the Lake suites offer huge round baths equipped with balneotherapy jets.

Food and Drink

A wide choice awaits, from the fat-free, raw and healthy dishes in the spa’s Café Lauren, to the memorable Peking duck at the glittering Tsé Fung which transports you to a Shanghai of the 1930s. The Loti Restaurant, popular for Sunday brunch, offers classical delicacies such as Sole Meunière, while over at The Summer Lodge in the gardens, you will find prawn and lobster tanks, fresh oysters and sushi.

Spa

The spa is one of the best in Europe with indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna and hamman, tennis courts and a fitness centre. Encompassing cutting-edge medical treatments drawn from the expertise of the Nescens brand and the Centre for Ageing at the country’s Clinique de Genolier, you can expect results here, from figure shaping through Zeltiq CoolSculpting, to lipo massage, facial tissue regeneration, or help in radically changing your lifestyle for continued results.
