The turnkey stay
During GemGenève, gemmologists, jewellers and collectors from around the world converge on Palexpo. This turnkey stay is anchored on the shore of Lake Geneva, between a historic palace hotel and starred gastronomy, just minutes from the airport and the fair venue. Evenings extend along the lakeshore or in the hushed salons of Geneva's grand hotels, with the chance to pair fair days with the city's essential watchmaking and lakeside experiences: the Patek Philippe Museum, a Belle Époque cruise, signature restaurants.
Where to stay
- Hôtel Beau-Rivage Genève : An independent family-run palace hotel since 1865 on the shores of Lake Geneva, a historic reference of luxury hospitality in Geneva.
- Mandarin Oriental, Genève : A contemporary palace hotel on the banks of the Rhône, a stone's throw from the quays and the city's financial and jewellery district.
Where to dine
