About the Tiffany Hotel …………………………………………………………………...........................................................

Behind a well-preserved late 19th century façade whose art nouveau style remains well intact,

the Tiffany HotelTiffany HotelTiffany HotelTiffany Hotel is a delightful blend of the intimate yet convivial, boasting the kind of flair with

comfortable charm that is typical of a neighbourhood four-star hotel.

It is wonderfully situated, between Geneva’s business district with its banks, media companies

and shopping streets, and the cultural and arts neighbourhoods with their galleries as well as

museums and theatres: the Grand Théâtre, Victoria Hall, BFM, MAMCO, Musée Rath. Close by

are the narrow streets of the Old Town, interwoven with history. The Tiffany HotelTiffany HotelTiffany HotelTiffany Hotel’s guests

include business people as well as artists, travellers passing through and faithful Genevans, all

of them looking for a warm and attentive welcome.

Particularly popular is the TiffanTiffanTiffanTiffany Restauranty Restauranty Restauranty Restaurant’s authentic and

atmospheric “chic brasserie” with its creative dishes remarkable for

their panoply of flavours. The fine dishes here are the handiwork of

Alban Mestre who has been responsible for the restaurant since

2002.

The Tiffany Hotel: Art Nouveau, refreshed …………………………………………………………………...........................................................

The façade of the Tiffany Hotel is a fine example of

turn of the 20th century architecture: the beautiful

design of the balustrades, the clean lines of the

cornices, the coloured glass of the first floor

windows, still clearly visible.

Today, after of 24 months of step by step

renovations, the Tiffany Hotel is showing a new,

younger face, faithful to its original Art Nouveau

style, but with design elements freely reinterpreted,

and refined in a style that is clearly contemporary.

………………………………………………………...

The interior design team of Marc Hertrich and

Nicolas Adnet felt it was important to hold onto the

strong Art Nouveau identity of the hotel, which has

always been part of its signature, while at the

same time embedding it in our own times: lighter,

more contemporary.

Floral motifs, period ironwork spirals in the stone staircase that winds around the elevator,

cornices and frescoes in the restaurant, the contemporary lighting, the “Art Nouveau revisited”

style of the Tiffany Hotel is everywhere apparent in the subtle details of the fabrics, china, lamps

and woodwork.

Rich, warm and generous colours bathe each of the 46 rooms, which have been entirely

renovated. Headboards and desktops are enhanced with the supple feel of leather, wardrobes

and tables have gold leaf-shaped handles, one of many details borrowed from nature, so dear to

the Art Nouveau movement.

The Art Nouveau tiles have been maintained in the bathrooms. Bright and evocative of spring,

the greens, blues, yellows and oranges here are lush with the curves and floral motifs typical of

this era.

Pure Herbs cosmetics, which blend plants known for their revitalizing ability, such as rosemary, lemon balm and thyme, add to the refreshing and invigorating morning wakeup effect of these cheerful bathrooms.



………………………………………………………………….........................................................

The Junior Suite sets the tone. Tucked under the eaves on the fifth floor, its wooden beams and

columns frame a warm living space set between the bed and the work corner. A Nespresso

machine is available. This is a warm and romantic space, a home away from home, welcoming

and comfortable.

…………………………………………………………………...........................................................

The taffeta curtains, embroidered with dragonflies, a popular motif of the period, change in

colour from one room to the next. Cherry red, anis green or deep blue contrast with the earthy

tones of walls and furniture creating a peaceful and cosy atmosphere.



…………………………………………………………………...........................................................

The new reception area is spacious and comfortable, with bronze hanging lights in the window

and delicate organdy shades that immediately give the décor a touch of elegance.

The library is an inviting place to meet friends or just relax with a good book. In a corner, a desk

is equipped with a computer and free Internet connection for guests.

…………………………………………………………………...........................................................

The fitness room, located in the basement, is equipped with Technogym machines. The contrast

between the warm, dark wood paneling and the cool gray limestone walls, creates just the right

atmosphere for working out.

Tiffany Restaurant : a creative “Chic brasserie” menu

Alban Mestre, the chef at the Tiffany restaurant, has already been making a name for it since he

took over in 2002.

Genevans are great fans of his daily suggested fish dishes, always offered with “light” and

“gourmet” versions.

The bar has the intimate feel of an old English club and is the ideal place to take refuge for a

drink or a relaxed lunch during the week. Warm yet elegant, it’s also the perfect place for private

receptions or business lunches, reserved in advance.
