Hotel Edelweiss

Geneva


Plunge yourself into the heart of the Swiss Alps with this Heidi-style hideout, very much the Swiss Alps en ville with its fireplace, wildflower-painted pine bedheads and big, cuddly St Bernard lolling over the banister. Its chalet-styled restaurant is a key address among Genevans for traditional cheese fondue.
