Tiffany Hotel

This place is something of an antidote to the big name luxury gaffs lining the lake. It’s still luxurious, it still has everything you want from a city break hotel, but it’s just that little bit more interesting. Located in a 19th century building near Plainpalais, its funky design draws on its Art Nouveau history whilst also being thoroughly modern, with a colour palate that leans heavily on lime green and purple. Nice little touches like Art Nouveau glass lampshades and line-drawing pictures on the walls give character. The restaurant, meanwhile, is decorated like an English gentleman’s club, with wood-panelled walls and pinstripe bench seating. Serving up contemporary brasserie dishes using seasonal ingredients, it’s a good choice for dinner, even if there are numerous other restaurants in the vicinity. Guests can also use the fitness area and spa, including hamman and sauna.
