“Hotel Metropole Geneve has an enviable location on the Rue du Rhône, making it ideal for those eager to explore Geneva's luxury shopping and lakeside attractions. From what I've gathered, some rooms could use a refresh to match the contemporary updates in other parts of the hotel, but the rooftop lounge is a definite highlight, promising memorable sunset views. It strikes me as a solid choice for business travelers seeking convenience, though families should perhaps confirm that their rooms' amenities align with expectations.”
