Hotel and history with a capital “H”<br />
Since 2004, this unique hotel thanks to its location<br />
and its history has been subject to a vast<br />
transformation. The last step will finish this<br />
autumn when the first occupants of the eleven<br />
grand suites will be welcomed.<br />
Tony Chi, the famous designer who created<br />
the new face of the hotel wanted to create a<br />
luxurious and urban atmosphere in which the<br />
clients could feel at home and could take<br />
advantage of the most advanced technological<br />
equipment. The materials – wood, leather,<br />
metal and stone – were used in their natural<br />
state. With time, they will age beautifully and<br />
show their character and elegance in perfect<br />
sync with the image of the grand lobby and<br />
the Nations bar. The panoramic view of the<br />
lake of Geneva and the Alps is omnipresent in<br />
each suite and even in certain bathrooms. The<br />
clients will have the privilege to be welcomed<br />
by a butler that will assist them throughout<br />
their stay. It is to be pointed out that the<br />
InterContinental is the hotel with the most<br />
suites in Switzerland which permits its to keep<br />
its role in the center of international Geneva<br />
by receiving important diplomatic delegations,<br />
heads of state and ministers.<br />
As a responsible hotel, the InterContinental is<br />
keen to reduce their ecological impact caused<br />
by the many activities and 333 rooms. It is why<br />
the hotel has joined the ecological project GLN<br />
(Genève-Léman-Nations) and thanks to temperature<br />
changers, is air-conditioned using<br />
cold water from the lake.<br />
