Genève

An institutional market before it is a leisure one. The United Nations, the diplomatic missions and the watch fair set the rhythm; two houses hold three MICHELIN Keys, more than any other Swiss city. The airport sits inside the city, with a French sector on the far side of the terminal.

Access

Airports in the canton: Genève Aéroport (GVA). From Bern by rail: 1:45, fast intercity.

The airport is inside the city, six minutes by train to Cornavin. The country's highest net room occupancy rests partly on that: a guest lands and checks in within the hour.

In Genève

The highest net room occupancy in the country: 67.9% in 2025, up 3.9 points. The market rests on the UN institutions, the watch salon and banking. Three of the country's nine three-Key houses stand here: Beau-Rivage, The Woodward and — formally in Bellevue — La Réserve.

Assembled from the same register as the master tables; verified 28 August 2026. Counts are matched on the town name, so a destination spread over several communes reads low here.
