Grand Hotel Kempinski Geneva: Grand Kempinski    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • By mke1963 on June 2, 2007
  • Difficult to fault the Grand Kempinski: about the best location in town, on the quayside opposite the Jet d'eau, and just a few minutes walk from the old quarter, with fabulous restaurants nearby in Le Paquis.

    The rooms are huge as are the bathrooms, and very elegant. Even the unrefurbished rooms are fresh and classy.

    The only complaint is that there is no tea and coffee in the room, and it needs to be ordered from room service. Trust me, at Kempinski prices, that makes you wince.

    Some bathrooms have 'his and hers' sinks with two sets of everything. There is also a useful (if expensive) internet-on-TV system with a wireless keyboard.

    Currently (summer 2007) a number of floors are being refurbished and so the restaurants are not all in operation and breakfast is served in the room, which may not be to everyone's liking. It is worth noting that if you arrive late in the evening and the Chinese restaurant is closed, the hotel's night club - the Java Club - has a superb restaurant open until very late. It can be a difficult to find (one of the receptionists had no idea where it was!): you need to cross the street outside and then go down into the subway back across the road (!) and the entrance to the Java Club is in the underground passageway. Slightly odd arrangement, but worth it.

    Expect to pay upwards of US$300+ per night.

    Grand Hotel Kempinski Geneva: A step back in time...    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:

  • This is a hotel I would not recommend to anyone. Although from the HIlton chain, this overpriced hotel, supposedly 5*, is one of the worst hotel I stayed in. The rooms are of good size, bed comfortable but...all the furniture is very old and in a very weird 70's art-deco style. You have the same color absolutely everywhere in the room/bathroom that it hurts the eyes (mine was dark green but the other rooms were blue, orange..).
    To make it worse the staff was very unfriendly and unprofessional.
    The only good thing about this hotel is that it has one of the best breakfast I've ever had...but save your money and go somewhere else

    Grand Hotel Kempinski Geneva: Hip in the 70's!!    Check Rates
  • Satisfaction:
  • By paintedcave on July 8, 2005
  • A very outdated hotel. Was clearly built in the 70's with trendy design cues for the time (like integrated radio on the nightstand!). Orange carpet/draperies/bed with polished wood cabinetry. Dark shower stall with pseudo-futuristic controls and green tile throughout the bathroom. My room had an awkward layout that was difficult to maneuver ergonomically around.

    Great views of Lake Geneva and that big ass fountain they're got (I forget the name). Easy walking distance to everything: trains, old town, that park on the East end of town (I forget again).

    Helpful staff.

    Downtown just 2 minutes accross the lake, this is a 5 star hotel designed nicely with wood staircases and luxury shops.

    Since you'll only be staying in the rooms to sleep, because Geneva is bustling and fun to go out in, it's not really worth the money- there are plenty of secure, comfy and clean hotels also walking distance from the Lake- the advantage the Noga Hilton has is that it's one of the few right by the Lake.

    Ideal location
