Scene
Luxury casino hotel with stylish, contemporary interiors and airport views
With fourteen floors of brown-tinted windows, the Moevenpick Hotel and Casino Geneva is a luxury property that’s conveniently near the airport, attracting business travelers and tourists on layovers. The Casino du Lac offers a bar, gambling tables, and 150 slot machines. The unexciting airport location, which is removed from the Geneva sites, means prices are lower here than other five-pearl properties in the city. Stylish furnishings fill the lobby that also features a white tufted front desk where there’s a flat-screen TV that shows the airport shuttle's arrival time. Modern, high-back armchairs are placed in the lounge areas, offering ample seating to work or relax. Hallways have a classic feeling with two elevators that feature Art Deco frames and a marble staircase with gold railings. The location offers ample plane-spotting opportunities for aviation enthusiasts.
Location
Convenient airport location, but far from the tourist attractions
Surrounded by busy roads, the hotel is situated beside the International Center Cointrin, and it's five minutes via a free shuttle to the Geneva International Airport. There are few restaurants around, other than at the airport, and there's not much within walking distance of the property, but Palexpo and the Geneva Arena are a five-minute drive away. Tucked between the Jura Mountains and French Alps, Geneva is home to hundreds of NGOs and international organizations such as the Red Cross Museum and the United Nations, which are a 20-minute bus trip away. Free public transportation cards are available at the hotel, and it takes about 30 minutes to commute to the Old Town, which is filled with cafes, restaurants, and sights like the Saint Pierre Cathedral, Barbier-Mueller Museum, and Maison Tavel.
