With Switzerland so popular amongst the ‘in’ crowd, La Reserve Geneva has created a powder puff dreamy stay for those who would like to prepare or repair before shredding the slopes of Klosters, St Moritz, or Zermatt.
Set on ten acres of lush grounds just minutes from Geneva airport, La Reserve is a low slung hotel of 102 rooms within striking distance of Geneva’s restaurants, museums and shops. A masterpiece of Paris based designer Jacques Garcia, guests will find the chichi side of African lodges with royal reds and golds, leopard and zebra print carpets and a giant elephant presiding over the stairs in the lobby.
The Nescens spa within the hotel’s grounds is as decadent as the hotel, with an indoor pool, sauna, hamman, indoor tennis court, health food café and treatments to roll back the years. There is also an outdoor pool, an ice rink in winter and an alfresco restaurant in summer. And it is here in the Nescens spa that an exclusive program for skiers has been developed. It is individually tailored to each guests needs and the prepare and repair package which includes this program consists of
• accommodation of one night’s stay in a double room before or after romancing the mountains
• a tasty yet health sports breakfast at the Café Lauren
• entrance to the 2,500 sq.m. Spa Nescens with indoor pool, sauna, hammam, indoor tennis court, fitness studio and its group classes according to the schedule (stretching, Pilates, Qi Gong, body work, aquagym…)
And one of the following. If you are preparing to ski, the package includes:
• A better-aging body massage (1h)
• A personal coaching “Ski Preparation” fitness session (1h)
And if you are repairing it consists of:
• A destressing massage (1h)
• A personal coaching “After-Ski” fitness session before that long flight home.
Cocoon yourself away from the world for a day and a night and reap benefits of these treatments, high quality cuisines and lakeside relaxation.
Packages start at EUR675 per night.
