Inside Europe's Largest and Grandest Hotel Suite

If you're looking for a world-class hotel experience in the heart of Europe, you'd have trouble finding any experience that rivals the Geneva Suite. The crown jewel of the Grand Hotel Kempinski, at 11,690 square feet, boasts the reputation of being the largest free-standing hotel suite on the continent.

So what do you get for the price of 50,000 Swiss francs (approximately U$S 45,000) a night? To start with, corner views that look out onto the gorgeous Lake Geneva with a prime view of the Old Town and the famous Jet d'Eau, sparkling over the water at sunrise. The duplex is comprised of two living rooms, three master bedrooms, four bathrooms, one with a private steam bath, and a full-service kitchen, complete with a personal chef to cater to any culinary whims guests may have. Additional rooms include an office, a state-of-the-art gym, and a billiards room. Private butlers are on hand to attend to any guests' needs.

I toured the Geneva Suite at a recent presentation for the Du Parc Kempinski private residences. Overlooking the lake, and the majestic buildings across the water, it's a perfect setting for either business or pleasure. "With the Geneva Suite, we wanted something unique, down to the last details. I believe we have succeeded in creating an exclusive suite on a truly grand scale," said Michael Henssler, General Manager of the Grand Hotel Kempinski.
