La Reserve Geneve Hotel and Spa

Guest rooms here were inspired by safari lodges—think “Out of Africa” goes to Switzerland. In the starter category, Superior Rooms, you’ll find blonde woodwork and earthy-hued furnishings, plus must-have hotel amenities (a minibar; movies on-demand; spa access—yes, there’s a sauna and hammam; Nespresso machines and beds dressed sumptuously in cotton sateen). To experience life as Beyonce might book the Lake Suite, which overlooks Mont Blanc and the rest of the Swiss Alps and has ultra-luxe service included, like chauffeur-driven car transfers, private breakfasts on your terrace, and a tailor-made welcome wine and sweets after your in-suite express check-in. Or check out the Villa du Lac, which is 385 sqm spread over two floors; all rooms have panoramic views over the garden and lake. Unlike what you’ll find at many ultra-luxe hotels, families are doted upon here; kids are likely to find kid-sized furniture, a stuffed giraffe, and art supplies in their room, plus kids' menus just for them at the restaurants. Did we mention that there’s a Summer Kids Camp?

On five lush acres abutting Lake Geneva: a 73-room, 29-suite respite with a 2500 sqm spa including fitness, tennis, and indoor and outdoor pools.

Hangry. There are three locavore restaurants here, including a one-star Michelin Chinese restaurant, a restaurant with an international kitchen, and a healthy Spa restaurant.

The spa has osteopaths and nutritionists on-site, and there’s nothing better than returning from vacay in better physical and mental health than when you left.

You’re still recovering from jetlag, days after your flight. Or are you just zonked from working so hard? So you book a Detox-revitalizing treatment at the spa, including a scrub, wrap and better-aging body massage. You emerge, like a butterfly from the chrysalis, feeling like brand new.
