Peace and international culture

Book your stay in the city centre

Packed with culture, fresh air, chocolate and cheese, Geneva's a relaxing spot for a city break, or a stop-off on a Swiss grand tour. If it's retail therapy you're after, be sure to warn your wallet. Alongside international brands, you'll find one-off boutiques with eye-catching trinkets at eye-watering prices. In search of adventure? Geneva's perfectly placed to strike out for the Alps or the Jura for day hikes with outstanding views. And when you’re ready for a breather, where better than the historic Bains des Pâquis – beach by summer, sauna by winter?

  • A modern hotel room with a double bed, crisp white bedding with a red stripe, a wooden headboard, a glass-enclosed shower, bedside lamps, a small nightstand, and a Marshall amplifier. The decor is minimal and bright.

  • A modern living room with a blue sofa, plants, and a dark shelving unit displaying colorful vases and decor items, next to large windows with white frames and spotlights illuminating the space.

  • A cozy room with a dining table and colorful chairs, a red armchair, decorative macramé dividers, a vintage map of Europe on the wall, and a fireplace with a red rug below.
  • A woman with blonde hair and tattoos, wearing a striped shirt, smiles while holding a drink and sitting in a chair. The background features plush red velvet curtains.

  • A modern, bright hotel room with a large bed, a glass desk lamp, a wall-mounted TV, a cushioned bench, and floor-to-ceiling windows covered with sheer curtains letting in natural light.
  • A woman gently holds a mans face with her hand as they share a kiss outdoors. She wears a bracelet and sunglasses on her head, and they both appear happy and affectionate. Lush greenery is blurred in the background.

Ruby Claire
Hotel & Bar

Perched a stone’s throw from the tranquil shores of Lac Léman, Ruby Claire draws inspiration from Geneva's long-standing role as a global centre of peace and cooperation. That’s why we’ve taken design notes from across the world, blending neutral tones with colourful nods to far-flung lands – inside and on our beautiful roof terrace.

  • Great for: a laidback city break in peaceful surroundings
  • Local favourites: exploring the shops with a fondue stop, then strolling to the waterfront for a glass or two of something delicious
  • Nearest station: Bel-Air/Gare de Genève

Explore the neighbourhood

A stone’s throw from Geneva’s boutiques and the shores of Lac Léman, Ruby Claire is well-placed for shopping and waterfront strolling.

Shopping

For those in search of retail therapy, the city's top shops are right on the doorstep. The parallel streets of Rue du Rhône and Rue du Marché are lined with luxury stores and – of course – plenty of watchmakers. Swing by to stock up on designer pieces, or indulge in some top-notch people-watching.

Lake Geneva

To reach the lakeshore, follow your nose to the Jardin d'Anglais with its famous floral clock. From there, you'll spot the Jet d'Eau shooting high above the water. From May to September, be sure to stroll by at dusk to see it in all its illuminated glory. If you're keen to get out on the water, you'll find everything from pedalos to paddleboards, windsurfers to wakeboards, with lessons for first-timers, too.

City centre

Once you've dried off, a short walk inland will take you to the city’s historic heart, where pretty brasseries and buzzing bars encircle the ancient Bourg-de-Four. For science-lovers, CERN is a half-hour hop by tram from Ruby Claire.

Views

For adventurous souls, the Alps and the Jura are on hand for day hikes with gorgeous views. And when you’re ready for a breather and a sundowner, where better than the historic Bains des Pâquis – beach by summer, sauna by winter?
