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 Geneva is a fantastic hotel! Its location is very convenient—just a short distance from the airport and only about 15 minutes on foot to the best fondue we have ever eaten. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, the food is excellent, and the atmosphere in the bar is wonderful. The staff are friendly and attentive, making the stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Geneva!"

"I had the pleasure of staying in this fine establishment, our room was upgraded as our IHG membership status was acknowledged and appreciated, the ambience is opulent and extremely pleasant. Cozy lobby with a touch of elegance and the food in the restaurant was excellent but costly. Room service was amazing and super friendly. Hotel was quiet and relaxing, alongside the rooms being spotless and tidy and most importantly special thanks to the lovely staff members who looked after us amazingly well during our stay, special thanks to Sate and Michelle from the reception team, in addition to that Sarah from the Breakfast team was lovely and also did a great job with her team! All in all, a great couple of nights in Geneve in this fine establishment!"

"The positive: the room was very nicely decorated. The bed very comfortable. There’s coffee, a kettle and water bottles in the room. Free wifi is available. There are 2 robes and slippers available in the room. The negative: The bathroom is super tiny. You don’t have any space for toiletries at all. The bathtub is old. The spa is super small, sauna and hamman are tiny. The massages and treatments are badly organised, no availability for days, very little personnel available. Far from center and amenities, or restaurants. Breakfast is super expensive, 50 CHF for a croissant and coffee. I don’t get it. I would recommend staying in the Crown Plaza near the airport. Much nicer hotel and atmosphere, better service, prices and transportation options."

"The Intercontinental Geneve is a fair distance from the lake, and when you drive up, you expect a standard business hotel. What a surprise when you walk through the door! This hotel blows apart your expectations. My friend in Geneva had told me about this place so I tried it. I had been to Geneva many times before and had stayed at many beautiful hotels. Geneva’s hotel standards are very high. But the Intercontinental Geneve goes to the top of my list. Check in was delightful. You are treated as a VIP. Smiles and a desire to please you. Every staff member you see in the public areas greets you with a warm smile. The entrance, lobby and restaurants are elegantly beautiful. My room was gorgeous with a beautiful view of the city. I felt like I was the first person to ever use it. Fresh linens and new curtains and carpeting. Spacious and comfortable beyond words. I didn’t want to leave. The breakfast area was elegant with a large variety of breakfast items. If you didn’t see everything you wanted you could order it. I found the selection more than sufficient, fresh and delicious. Checkout was quick and easy by a delightfully sweet woman. I was actually sad to leave. I am very picky when it comes to hotels. Most of them, even the good ones, go by a standard formula. Intercontinental Geneve was just a great place to call home for a few days. I can’t wait to go back. My highest rating."
