"Unassuming but once you get in it looks like the Waldorf Astoria with ample hallways and classic furniture outside. The rooms are comfortable and forget all the rest because the view of lake Geneva takes your breath away. Train station is about 4’ walking and in two stops you find great nightlife. Walk 20’ down and you hit the water with all the fun and relaxing things to do. Country life is the same distance in the opposite direction. Staff is nice and helpful and did their best to make my short stay magical."
