| In October ’99 Tiffany expanded to 46 rooms adding 16 doubles and two suites. Reception was redone with comfy couches and mahogany paneling to match the cozy bar. All rooms have modem connections, CNN, terry robes, hair dryers, and, yes, the showers are still great. The colorful belle époque decor appealingly combines with contemporary design. The hotel’s near Geneva’s Grand Théâtre, just a short walk to ‘Old Town’ or anywhere. |

| End your vacation on a truly high note - at the Beau-Rivage! It has welcomed the rich and near famous, along with the rest of us, as it celebrates 150 years in 2007. The superior service is immediate as you enter the beaux-arts lobby and are escorted to your room overlooking ten acres of landscaped gardens, Lake Geneva and snow capped mountains beyond. The flower-filled rooms appointed with the finest quality furnishings are the ultimate in luxury. In December 2005 they opened the beautiful new pool and ‘Cinq Mondes’ spa offering a wide variety of treatments and cures. As a pièce de résistance ride to Geneva Airport in their chauffeur driven Rolls-Royce - no wonder it was Gault-Millau’s ‘Hotel of the Year’ in 2006! |

| 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 when the interiors were renovated, air conditioning updated, and the 53 spacious rooms were upgraded with coordinated fabrics and period art and antiques. Just steps from San Marco and the incredible Doge's Palace, the terrace overlooking the Grand Canal temps one to soak those last rays of afternoon sun while sipping a cooling Campari-orange. |

| In the 8th arrondissement, the Lavoisier with its sparkling white facade opened in ’99 by Lucie Agaut and Michel Bouvier. As you walk into the sunny reception your welcome equals the atmosphere in this very American-friendly hotel. Fresh flowers are brought round by Mme Agaut and the 30 rooms are tastefully decorated in strong but subtly bright colors have marble baths, internet, French doors opening to the street below, and a pleasing mixture of antiques and contemporary furnishings. Their ‘honor’ bar is in the library and fresh squeezed orange juice is served along with a delicious croissant breakfast - truly a rarity in Europe! |
