"Hôtel des Bergues is Geneva’s very first hotel, built in 1834 along the waterfront and transformed into a Four Seasons in 2005. The rooms are wonderfully opulent in a loosely neo-classical, Louis Philippe–inflected style, with lots of brocade and toile de Jouy in shades of Wedgwood blue and almond green. If that’s not your style, reserve one of the Loft Suites on the sixth floor that embrace a ‘contemporary Swiss chalet’ aesthetic. The lively Michelin-starred Il Lago restaurant sits on the ground floor while Japanese restaurant Izumi serves delicious sushi alfresco on the trendy rooftop. Last but certainly not least, the top floor’s Asian-inspired Spa Mont Blanc is one of the big draws for the hotel, which covers two floors and includes a decent-sized pool."
