Le Richemond has for years been identified as the greatest hotel in Geneva. Erected in 1875, the neoclassical, travertine building has wrought-iron balustrades, each emblazoned with the letter "R," and is situated across the quay-side boulevard from the lake, across from a small park. In the 19th century it was an unpretentious guesthouse. But its acquisition by the Rocco Forte chain catalyzed a radical re-examination of its decor. Accommodations range from the most spacious in the city to medium in size; nearly half of the units here are suites, attracting all of Europe, plus international CEOs. This is true Grand Hotel living, with elegant fabrics, tasteful upholstery, and luxurious beds, plus spacious marble bathrooms with robes and a basket of expensive toiletries.
