Unveil an Illustrious History That Spans Over 160 Years
Situated on the storied shores of the Lake Geneva, with Switzerland’s iconic Mont Blanc as a timeless backdrop, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel de la Paix, Geneva, is host to a prestigious heritage that has endured for over 160 years. Celebrated by generations of high society for bespoke service, uncompromising elegance and a rich culinary tradition, the hotel has been thoughtfully renovated to craft a new era in its evolving story.
The hotel was inaugurated in 1865 under the name "Hôtel de la Paix”. Since the opening, it became a preferred destination for international travellers in search of luxury and comfort. Over the decades, it has welcomed numerous distinguished personalities, diplomats, artists, and political figures.
In December 1871, representatives from the US and England gathered in Geneva to resolve a mutual conflict. Geneva served as a neutral point to host the arbitration of the Alabama, the first mediation between two countries in crisis. This event shaped Geneva's international vocation. To conclude, Geneva State Council hosted an official dinner at the Hôtel de la Paix on September 7, 1872.
In 2016, The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company signed an agreement to manage the prestigious Hôtel de la Paix. The acquisition marked the beginning of a new era for this iconic address on the shores of Lake Geneva, which now benefits from the legendary excellence and savoir-faire of The Ritz-Carlton.
The hotel has welcomed numerous famous personalities from around the world. From renowned writers and artists to heads of state and movie stars, each guest has contributed to shaping the hotel's reputation for excellence, refinement, and bespoke service. One of the hotel’s most esteemed guests, the Princess of Monaco’s Grace Kelly, has influenced with her inimitable and timeless style, the design of our most extraordinary suite: The Grace Kelly.
