BEAU-RIVAGE PALACE S     
(Optional hotel)
    

     Try to end your ski holiday magically at the Beau-Rivage! It has welcomed the rich and near famous, along with the rest of us, for more than 150 years with that anniversary celebrated in 2007. In early 2009 Anne-Sophie Pic, the three star Michelin chef from Valence, France, opened a gourmet restaurant and in November 2009 it was awarded two Michelin stars!

     The Beau-Rivage's exemplary service begins as you are whisked into their beaux-arts lobby and then escorted to your room overlooking ten acres of landscaped gardens, Lake Geneva and the snow capped mountains beyond. The flower-filled room is appointed with the finest quality furnishings. In December 2005 the beautiful ‘Cinq Mondes’ pool and spa opened offering a wide variety of treatments and cures. For a pièce de résistance be chauffeured to Geneva Airport in their Rolls-Royce ~ No wonder the Beau-Rivage was Gault-Millau’s ‘Hotel of the Year’ in 2006, 2007 and again in 2008!

 
VENICE
HOTEL LONDRA PALACE S
     The 100 windows of the elegant Londra Palace have been giving guests glittering views of Venice's lagoon for over 140 years. The hotel's neo-classic façade of white Istrian marble was restored in 2000 and in the early winter of 09 the interior was totally renovated with coordinated fabrics and period art and antiques with the hotel re-opening before the summer. It's located just steps from San Marco and the incredible Doge's Palace; but save time for their terrace overlooking the Grand Canal: soak up the sun's last afternoon rays as the world passes by while you sip a refreshing Campari-orange.
