Four Seasons Hotel Des Bergues Geneva
An 1834 landmark on the Quai des Bergues facing the Jet d'Eau, with a rooftop spa looking over Lake Geneva to the Alps
The Privata Perspective
The house on the Quai des Bergues opened on May Day 1834, but Four Seasons has run it only since November 2005 — historic bones, a Pierre-Yves Rochon interior laid over them, and Bénédict Estier on the architecture. It sits on the right bank a few minutes from the Old Town and the banking quarter, looking across the water at the Jet d'Eau.
Category decides the stay, and the house is small in every one of them. There are 115 keys, seventy-two rooms and forty-three suites, but only seven Standard Rooms, and the twenty-four Deluxe Rooms are the largest single block in the hotel. Above those the ladder runs through the sixth-floor suites, done as Swiss chalet with fireplaces, to a single 170-square-metre Royal Suite. Small categories mean the request goes in early.
We book it for clients doing Geneva for business or as the front end of an Alpine ski week, and for Il Lago. Summer and early autumn read best on the quay.

Dining
Il Lago
Italian
The principal dining room — the portal files it simply as Italian, the operator's own press sheet as Northern Italian
Izumi
Japanese-Fusion/Nikkei
The second of the two restaurants, carrying the operator's own Japanese-Fusion and Nikkei label
Le Bar des Bergues
Bar
The hotel bar, which the operator files under lounges rather than restaurants
Salon Dufour
Lounge
The second lounge room; the operator lists afternoon tea under the same heading
Spa & Wellness
Spa Mont Blanc is a rooftop retreat looking over Lake Geneva to the Alps: five oversized treatment rooms, a double suite, a Moroccan hammam and a marble steam room, plus an indoor infinity-edge pool and a 24-hour fitness suite. The operator publishes 2,800 square metres.
When to Go
