Scene
An upscale, modern hotel attracting business travelers and couples
The Warwick's exterior has an imposing feel, with rounded windows running up eight floors of the building, red awnings with gold print hanging over the entrance, and topiaries in red planters border the bottom floor. The lobby’s marble foyer makes a grand appearance, dominated by a large, spiraling staircase winding down from the second floor. Hallways are lined in checkered beige or black-and-white starred carpeting, and oversized Zenith wristwatch faces adorn walls by the elevators. The hotel, which is under the Warwick International Hotels brand, mostly attracts business travelers and couples, but visitors with children also stay here.
Location
Located on the Right Bank in Geneva, right by the main train station
In a city where affordable rooms are in short supply, the Hotel Warwick Geneva offers competitive prices for an upscale property that's right in the heart of the city. Sitting across from the Gare de Cornavin train station, the hotel’s highly-trafficked location is within walking distance of the lakeside Monument Brunswick, where the Geneva Water Fountain can be seen. A free public transportation pass for buses, trams, ferries, and trains is provided. Markets, restaurants, and shops surround the hotel. The Barbier-Mueller Museum, Maison Tavel, and Saint Pierre Cathedral in Old Town are within walking distance. The Flower Clock is also reachable on foot. Getting to the Red Cross Museum and United Nations takes 11 minutes by bus. Driving to Chamonix, France for a ski trip takes over an hour. It’s a 15-minute drive to the Geneva International Airport and Palexpo conference center.
Rooms
Contemporary rooms with flat-screen TVs, minibars, and suites with terraces
The ambiance in the guest rooms is stylish and subdued, with tall wooden headboards, chrome light fixtures, and earth-toned furnishings. But the wall-to-wall carpeting, dim lighting, and rolling office chairs could use an overhaul. All rooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows, work desks, flat-screen TVs, minibars, tea- and coffee-making facilities, and free Wi-Fi. Marble bathrooms offer hairdryers, scales, and shower/tub combos, plus fluffy bathrobes and slippers and a generous range of high quality bath products. Superior Rooms, Executive Corner Rooms, and Penthouses add Nespresso machines, free continental breakfast, and one item of dry cleaning. Penthouse rooms have private terraces and either sitting areas or separate living rooms; Penthouse Suites offer large top-floor terraces with Jet d’Eau views, living rooms/dining rooms, two bathrooms and heated towel racks.
Features
Stylish dining and cocktails, meeting rooms, a business center, an off-site gym, and nearby parking
The hotel's Teseo restaurant serves Swiss and international fare in a stylishly decorated dining room with plush banquette seating and chairs flanking wooden tables; its floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the bustling Geneva streets. The bar serves cocktails and continental, buffet, or takeaway breakfast, which is included in some rates. Though the hotel lacks a fitness center, guests receive free access to the nearby Silhouette gym, located a few blocks from the property. Seven meeting rooms and two foyers can be rented out and can accommodate 10 to 200 people. Coffee breaks, catering, technical support, and audiovisual equipment are offered. There’s also a 24-hour business center with computers, and Wi-Fi is free throughout. An underground parking lot next door offers discounted rates.
