4-star Geneva hotel with the world's largest pendulum
Unique Feature
Hotel Cornavin houses the world's largest pendulum, a 30-meter-long mechanism hanging from the ninth floor down to the lobby. Glass lifts and walls reveal the interior architecture and train station views. This design gives the building a distinct identity among Geneva hotels.
Breakfast and Dining
The breakfast room on the 8th floor offers panoramic views across Geneva toward Lake Geneva and the Jet d'Eau. A small bar near the reception serves drinks, and room service is available for meals. The hotel also has two meeting rooms that accommodate up to 20 people for business gatherings.
Rooms
Each air-conditioned room includes satellite TV, a minibar, and a private bathroom with hairdryer. Triple rooms have three single beds and a large bathroom with a deep bathtub. Many upper-floor rooms provide views of the city and the Notre-Dame Basilica.
Location and Transport
Hotel Cornavin is directly opposite Geneva Cornavin Train Station, a 30-second walk from the platform. Guests receive a free public transport pass valid on all Geneva buses, trams, and even the Mouettes boat shuttles. The city center, Lake Geneva, and the Flower Clock are within a 10-minute walk.
Wellness and Business
The hotel has a fitness center and a sauna available for guests without reservation. A 24-hour reception, concierge service, and currency exchange support business travelers. Luggage storage and express check-in/check-out are also provided.

“This four-star hotel in Geneva stands out for its architectural flair, most notably the world's largest pendulum hanging in the lobby. From my perspective, the included Geneva Transport Card is a significant advantage, granting access to public transit throughout the city. It's a solid choice for visitors prioritizing convenience and a central location.”
