Ruby Claire Hotel Geneva

A stone's throw from Geneva's boutiques and the shores of Lac Léman, Ruby Claire is as well-placed for shopping as for waterfront strolling. A short walk inland meanwhile will take you to the city's historic heart, where pretty brasseries and buzzing bars encircle the ancient Bourg-de-Four. For more adventurous souls, the Alps and the Jura are on hand for day hikes with gorgeous views. And when you're ready for a breather and a sundowner, where better than the historic Bains des Pâquis – beach by summer, sauna by winter? Geneva's main station is a 12-minute walk from the hotel, from where the airport's a seven-minute hop by train.
