The Hamlet is hands down the best place to stay in Geneva. Forget the usual big-name hotels—this place is a hidden gem that delivers far more charm, warmth, and service than any chain could hope to offer.
We’ve stayed at The Hamlet twice with our young family, each time for two months, and every visit has felt like coming home. The team knows your name, greets you like old friends every time you walk through the door, and genuinely cares about making your stay exceptional.
The accommodations are exquisite—a beautifully restored historic building in the heart of the Old Town, just steps from Place du Bourg-de-Four. Inside, everything is modern and elegant: top-of-the-line appliances, tasteful mid-century furniture, and a perfect blend of old-world architecture and contemporary comfort.
The location couldn’t be better—surrounded by charming cafes, restaurants, and all the character that makes Geneva special.
Whether you’re a solo traveler or a family, The Hamlet is incredibly accommodating. They go above and beyond in so many thoughtful ways—stocking your apartment with high-end snacks, drinks, and chocolates, helping with errands like dry cleaning, and even ordering specific appliances on request.
One unforgettable moment: on our son’s birthday, we returned to the apartment to find balloons, a cake, and presents waiting—and we hadn’t even mentioned the occasion. That level of care is rare and speaks volumes.
We can’t recommend The Hamlet highly enough. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a place you’ll want to return to again and again.
