Hôtel de la Paix

In terms of opulence, it's a notch down from the Beau-Rivage, but since its prices are less expensive and it's a lot less pretentious, many clients seek it out. It's grand and glamorous, and after a complete overhaul, it's better than it's ever been. Designed by an Italian architect, the building belonged to the kingdom of Sardinia for a long time, functioning for a period as a kind of unofficial residence and embassy. The main salon, a double-tiered arched extravaganza, with marble columns, Corinthian capitals, and a balustraded loggia overlooking a massive crystal chandelier, is in all the architectural guidebooks to Geneva. Bedrooms come with comfortably contemporary furnishings. On the lobby level of this hotel is a rather daringly decorated bar and restaurant, the Nobel Bar and Restaurant Vertig'O, which evokes hip and quirky nocturnal Paris.
