Fairway to heaven - The Quest for Golf in Geneva

    GENEVA, SWITZERLAND, June 03, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Geneva, nestling at the foot of the Swiss Alps, and within easy reach of Europe's major cities, is truly a destination for the summer season. Golf lovers will adore one of the famous boutique hotels Geneva, Hotel d'Angleterre. They will find a tempting selection of magnificent courses a mere 20 minutes from their room - the Golf & Country Club de Bonmont, the most famous in Geneva for its technical difficulties and stunning views; Golf du Domaine de Divonne, the most spectacular 18 hole championship golf course, and the Golf & Country Club de Bossey, with views over the Lake Geneva.

Set against the towering backdrop of snow capped peaks, with the shimmering waters of Lake Geneva nearby, few fairways and greens can compete with the golf experiences afforded by Geneva.

If your partners don't share your passion for the game, they won't be short of other things to do - from boat trips across the lake to shopping sprees in some of Europe's most chic boutiques, and from organised chocolate factory excursions to fascinating tours of some remarkable museums, there are ample ways to spend the day. Then, in the evening, the two of you can dine in Windows Restaurant and regale each other with highlights of your day as the sunset bathes the lake and mountains in its rosy glow.

To make this prospect even more irresistible Hotel d'Angleterre, with its magnificent views over Lake Geneva, has created a special summer golfing package for lovers of the game.

• Two nights in a beautifully appointed luxury bedroom
• Daily buffet breakfast
• Welcome drink on arrival at the hotel
• Return transfer to the golf club along the picturesque banks of Lake Geneva
