Mandarin Oriental, Geneva

Mandarin Oriental, Geneva

"This "stylish hotel with modern amenities" on the Rhône has Adam Tihany–designed public spaces that include a "dramatic, sweeping staircase." Modern, Asian-influenced lines and a "boutique feel" pervade rooms in bold colors and earth tones. Rasoi by Vineet uses Indian spices—"the tasting dinner was one of our all-time favorites." "The efficiency and friendliness of the staff add to the appeal."

"Mandarin Oriental Geneva With the scenic Rhone River right on the doorstep and the atmospheric cobbled streets of Geneva’s historic Old Town all around, the Mandarin Oriental represents a splash of modern luxury in a charming and traditional setting. The 189 rooms, all renovated in 2013, have a discerningly modern-luxe feel, with earthy, neutral color schemes, an abundance of space, comfort, and amenities—from the espresso machines to the pillow menu—and state-of-the-art in-room entertainment. The marble bathrooms are large enough to host separate rain showers and baths, and if you book a suite you will find plentifulHermes bath products. All of the rooms have excellent views, of either the garden, the street, or the river, though only the 7 th -floorrooms have a river-facing terrace. There are several dining options on-site, including an acclaimed Indian restaurant, and the spa offers some seriously high-end pampering."

The Mandarin Oriental will definitely become a landmark when it comes to gourmet cuisine in Geneva, introducing 2 new restaurants. Both are designed with cosmopolitan elegance by the acclaimed designer Adam Tihany. The inventive Rasoi is the fine dining restaurant serving tasty Indian cuisine by London-based, Michelin awarded Chef Vineet Bahtia. The legendary Paul Bocuse is the inspiration behind the Mandarin Oriental's brasserie, Le Sud." - My Boutique Hotel (en)

Mandarin Oriental Geneva (Geneva, Switzerland) 3 Hotel Reviews | Tablet Hotels

"As the name probably suggests, the Mandarin Oriental hotels were first conceived a long way from Switzerland. But we would argue that there’s possibly no European city so well suited to the MO’s particular strengths as Geneva. This is a place with a deep appreciation for the finer pleasures in life, and a similarly deep appreciation for an operation that runs like a finely tuned machine. (If you’re Swiss you might be wondering why we just said the same thing twice.) And there may be no more blissful marriage of sensory pleasure and sheer professional effectiveness than the Mandarin Oriental, Geneva. Once upon a time this was the Hôtel du Rhône, a rare postwar modernist landmark. Its historic façade remains as grand as ever, while the interiors have been updated in a style that pays tribute to the hotel’s century-plus of history as well as the landscapes of Switzerland. The look is contemporary, and above all it’s eminently palatable — the Mandarin Oriental is not in the business of taking anything too far. The only thing that verges on excess, in fact, is the sheer comfort of it all, especially the marble bathrooms with their walk-in showers. And it’s in the department of food and drink that the Mandarin Oriental, Geneva most straightforwardly displays both Eastern and Western influences. SACHI, the flagship restaurant, features the Japanese cooking of a Nobu-trained chef, as well as an omakase bar; it’s complemented by the Mediterranean flavors of Ottolenghi." - Tablet Hotels
