HOTELS WE COVET
LE BEAU RIVAGE
CovetED has been travelling all over
the world for over two years now
and experiencing some of the most
incredible hotels in existence. Each of
them took our heart in its own way with
its particular history and charm. Now
it’s time to proudly share with you Beau
Rivage history
Right in the heart of Geneva stands the most charming hotel in
the city, counting already 150 years of existence. Five generations
later, the Beau Rivage is still run by the Mayer family and that’s
exactly a sense of familiar intimacy that we feel as soon as we
cross the threshold and are welcomed by the impeccable staff.
Nowadays, the hotel is managed by Alexandre Nickbarte, who
kindly showed us around the hotel.
Throughout the hotel, we can find unique artefacts from the past,
such as very well preserved staff uniforms from the beginning of
the 20th century and original fireplaces that recall us golden days.
In the second floor, we were shown two beautiful rooms that have
been kept almost the same along the years, with only a few chang-
es, to offer modern amenities required for modern times. They are
both overlooking the Mont Blanc and the snowy mountains, as
well as the famous Jet d’Eau water fountain.
