Hilton Geneva review: our verdict on the renovated rooms

The essentials
  • The Hilton Geneva Hotel and Conference Centre, next to the airport and to Palexpo, has close to 500 recently renovated rooms and suites.
  • The LivingWell Health Club covers more than 1500 sqm, with a pool, a jacuzzi, a sauna, a hammam and a gym.
  • The restaurant L’Olivo, led by chef Emmanuel Garde, serves local cooking at lunch and dinner every day.
  • Rates start at around CHF 200 to 250 a night, and a free airport shuttle runs every 20 minutes.

A short hop from Geneva international airport and the Palexpo exhibition centre, the Hilton Geneva Hotel & Conference Centre has been a fixture of Swiss hotel-keeping for years. In 2025 the house entered a new phase: a full renovation, an enriched wellness offer and a rediscovery of its signature suites. A breath of modernity is blowing through the largest hotel in Switzerland.

We were able to see the first stage of the works and to test the new rooms and suites, which are built around renewal and experience. The rest of the hotel will be reworked during 2026.

A renovation that goes deep

After several months of carefully staged work, the Hilton Geneva is showing the outline of a bold transformation. The public areas, the rooms and the social spaces have been rethought to offer a more contemporary, brighter and more inspiring atmosphere, while keeping the straightforward hospitality the brand is known for.

The aim is to give every guest, whether a business traveller, a delegate or a visitor passing through, a richer, more immersive stay firmly anchored in the present.

Suites that feel like apartments

With close to 500 rooms, including several categories of suite, the Hilton Geneva Hotel and Conference Centre wins on volume and comfort. The suites are generously sized and feel both hushed and bright, with design touches and modern equipment.

The bedding is excellent, and some suites even come with a private balcony.

The hotel also personalises the welcome for guests staying in a suite: frequent upgrades for Hilton Honors members, priority check-in, and a close eye on detail with welcome snacks in the room.

A wellness club of 1500 square metres

The beating heart of the hotel, the LivingWell Health Club, covers more than 1500 square metres. It holds:

  • A large heated indoor pool, filled with natural light
  • A spacious jacuzzi
  • A hammam, a sauna and a relaxation area
  • A fully equipped gym, with Technogym machines and a cross-training zone

What stands out here is the cleanliness, the size of the pool and the calm of the room. A few guests would like the water a degree or two warmer, but overall the wellness area counts among the best in the region for an airport hotel.

L’Olivo, the hotel’s Mediterranean table

On the ground floor, the restaurant L’Olivo has an identity of its own. Under chef Emmanuel Garde, the kitchen works with local produce. The setting is contemporary and calm, and opens onto a planted terrace in fine weather.

L’Olivo is open every day:

The Choco Pass. A straightforward invitation to indulge, the Geneva Choco Pass opens the door to tastings at the city’s leading artisan chocolate houses, among them Auer, Stettler, La Bonbonnière and Rohr. From CHF 35, it offers a tasting route you build yourself and an immersion in the Swiss chocolate tradition. It is available online at geneve.com.

The Geneva City Pass. The City Pass is the easiest way to explore Geneva without friction. It includes:

  • Free entry to more than 50 attractions, including lake cruises, museums, guided tours and bike hire
