PB hotel design editorial

Positioned in the leafy diplomatic quarter of Petit Saconnex, a short distance from the Palais des Nations and the cluster of international organizations that gave Geneva its particular postwar identity, the InterContinental Geneve has served this world-affairs corridor since 1961. The building is a clean modernist tower conceived at the height of International Style confidence — limestone-clad facade panels, a floor-to-ceiling glass entrance pavilion framed in darkened steel, bamboo plantings softening the forecourt in a gesture that bridges Swiss restraint with a mild orientalism common to the era. With 333 rooms across its tower floors, the property was designed from the outset for a clientele of diplomats, UN delegates, and negotiators, a purpose that has shaped everything from its conference facilities to the quiet professionalism of its public spaces. The interiors, refreshed in recent years, carry warm terracotta-toned headwall panels against dark walnut bedheads, Tolomeo-style reading lamps mounted on articulated arms, and striped wool carpeting underfoot — a palette that settles closer to considered mid-century revival than to the corporate neutrality typical of large international hotels. Higher floors command direct views over Lac Léman toward the Alps, the water and mountain silhouette filling the horizontal windows in a framing that feels almost deliberate. The restaurant opens through folding steel-framed glazed doors onto a garden terrace shaded by mature trees, while the outdoor pool, set within several acres of parkland, gives the property a resort-like generosity rare for a city hotel of this scale.

InterContinental Geneve, an IHG Hotel Reviews

"We stayed in this hotel as part of a tour group.. it is akatge hotel with sizable rooms, but they are not configured well. The hotel is located a little out of the city. So public transport was needed. Breakfast was extensive. It was a warm morning so we were able to eat outside in a beautiful setting. Staff were very friendly and helpful"

"Overall, we enjoyed our three-night stay at the InterContinental Genève, with just a couple of exceptions. Our room was spacious and offered a lovely view of Lake Geneva, the Jet d'Eau, and the mountains. While the bathroom was a bit cramped, we made it work. Note that the room features a stocked mini-fridge that is not complimentary, yet no prices were displayed for the items. Each evening, we had a relaxing drink and light dinner at the bar. The bartender, Arthur, was wonderful and crafted excellent drinks. However, the primary reason I cannot give this hotel a 5-star rating is the shower. Throughout our stay, my husband and I were randomly scalded by hot water. We tried to find a pattern to avoid it, but to no avail. It was highly unpleasant. Additionally, guests should be aware of ongoing road construction directly outside the hotel, which starts at 06:30, Monday through Friday. We were fortunate that only one night of our stay fell into this timeframe. I recommend waiting until the construction is finished before booking, unless you plan to be up by 06:30 anyway. As for the water temperature issues, you will have to decide if that is a dealbreaker for you."

"Excellence amongst the excellent! That is the only way I feel to describe the level of service throughout the hotel. Specifically, the concierge staff members Michelle and Loic they were exemplary in helping us navigate the city and events. Their thoughts and insights were invaluable."

"Wonderful property with outstanding friendly service. Afternoon spent at the pool with great service from Andy. Light Margarita Pizza and salad for the two of us with home made ice tea which was equally as delicious."
