✦ Editorial Verdict

La Réserve Genève leads for Geneva business — close to the airport, private park, exceptional discretion. Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues is the strongest central Geneva address for meetings and city access. La Réserve Eden au Lac and Baur au Lac are the strongest Zurich business hotels. Bellevue Palace in Bern is the only real choice for diplomatic and government travel — directly opposite the Federal Palace.
