A magnet for business guests and diplomats, the upper-middle-range Mon Repos Hotel is a boutique property situated right on the Parc du Lac that runs along Lake Geneva, a quick walk to the W.T.O. and other international organizations. A chic lobby offers a reading lounge, business nook, breakfast area, terrace, and charming bar and restaurant open for dinners (but not every night). Compared to the common areas, the 80 guest rooms feel a little bland, but they’re comfortable and clean with modern bathrooms, coffee/tea service, and minibars, though there’s no air-conditioning. The hotel also services 25 longer-stay apartments. Travelers who’d prefer to be closer to Old Town sights, or who want more kid-friendly digs, might consider the Eastwest Hotel, Geneva. 

The 167-room Hotel Warwick Geneva provides an upscale stay across the street from the main train station. It's within walking distance of Lake Geneva and the Old Town. Polished, elegant interiors include a Swiss restaurant and bar, which serves a continental breakfast, included in most rates. The property attracts many business travelers with its seven meeting rooms, business center, and free Wi-Fi. Though the hotel does not have a fitness center, guests have access to one nearby. Contemporary rooms have flat-screen TVs, minibars, and lovely city views, though wall-to-wall carpeting and dim lighting could use a revamp. Spacious penthouses offer additional sitting areas and terraces with panoramic views. All in all, the Warwick offers an excellent value for its location and amenities. But travelers looking for more luxurious rooms might want to consider the nearby Eastwest Hotel.
