Hôtel Longemalle
Chic, colourful boutique with an Art Deco-meets-contemporary edge. Not minimalist — the public spaces are layered and lively. Think Genevan family taste, not corporate hotel chain.
Book a Superior room or above if space matters — the Individual rooms are cosy at best
Why It Matters
Selected by Tablet Hotels and featured in the Michelin Guide. The Triplex suite's 70 m² private rooftop terrace with views of Lake Geneva and the Jet d'Eau is a genuine standout. Balila, the on-site Lebanese restaurant helmed by Beirut-celebrated chef Hussein Hadid, is a destination in its own right for Geneva diners.
A family-owned boutique hotel on cobblestone Place Longemalle, right at the edge of Geneva's Old Town and two blocks from the lake. The building is ornate and historic, but the interiors got a full overhaul in 2019 — what came out is bold and colourful, with Art Deco lighting, contemporary paintings, and a mix of antique and modern objets. No pool, no spa, and some rooms are compact. But the location is hard to beat, and the Lebanese restaurant Balila is genuinely worth the trip on its own.
Where You'll Stay
4 room types available
Classic Room
Sized 18 to 23 m², so still compact by Swiss standards, but designed for one or two people. Available as double or twin configuration. Same bold colour palette and Art Deco lighting as the rest of the hotel. Marble bathroom with metro tiling. A decent step up from the Individual category with more breathing room.
Double (160x200 cm) or Twin (2x 80x200 cm) · 20 sqm
Individual Room
The entry category, and it shows in the size — 15 to 21 m², designed for solo travellers. Shades of blue, red, and beige with natural materials and Art Deco-influenced lighting. Soundproofed windows, espresso maker, minibar, and a clean bathroom with metro white tiling and marble fittings. Good for anyone who plans to be out all day and just needs a solid base.
Queen (140x200 cm) · 18 sqm
Superior Room
The sweet spot for most stays at 26 to 34 m². Proper room for two people with a larger bed than the Classic category. Some have balconies with views over the square. The Chic Escape & Lebanese Delights package is pegged to this room type, which says something about where the hotel sees its best-value offering.
Double (180x200 cm) or Twin (2x 90x200 cm) · 30 sqmTriplex Suite
The hotel's showpiece. At 84 m² spread across the top floors, it has a separate double bedroom, a mezzanine with twin beds for kids, two shower bathrooms, a lounge, and a kitchenette. But the real reason to book it is the 70 m² private terrace — open to the sky, with unobstructed views over Lake Geneva and the Jet d'Eau. Cots available on request. A rare find at this scale in central Geneva.
