The
Hotel Beau Rivage is a historic 5-star Hotel with 93 rooms. It is
located on the shores of Lake Geneva in the very heart of Geneva.
Since it's opening in 1865, the Hotel Beau Rivage is owned and managed
by the Mayer family. The hotel has a long tradition with royal personalities
such as "Sissi", the Empress of Austria, Peter of Russia, or Emperor
Akihito of Japan who among others have stayed there. Still today,
international politicians, celebrities and artists prefer the Beau
Rivage for its atmosphere of peaceful luxury. The facilities of
