Fly Geneva - It Has Never Been More Inviting! Red Carnation Hotels

    LONDON, ENGLAND, February 17, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Great news for ski devotees, petrol heads and shopaholics! Swiss International Airlines recently added six new daily non-stop flights from London Heathrow to Geneva - perfect for the pistes, the Geneva Motor Show or great getaways in one of the world's most chic and cosmopolitan cities.

Whichever one of these proves most appealing, there's nowhere better to stay than the legendary Hotel d'Angleterre. On the edge of Lake Geneva, directly opposite the spectacular Jet d'Eau, and providing uninterrupted views of Mont Blanc, the hotel is a short walk or boat ride from the city's elite shopping on Rue du Rhone, yet very convenient to the airport. With a loyal following of discerning guests, it artfully combines an atmosphere of exclusive calm and refined opulence with service that's as professional as it is personal.

The blend of old-world charm, impeccable service, cosmopolitan surroundings, and 21st-century technology attracts top-ranking diplomats, Alpine adventurers, high-flying businessmen and women, and carefree families. Each of the 39 guest rooms and 6 luxury suites is lavishly decorated with the finest fabrics and furnishings in a distinctly European style. Windows restaurant, celebrated for its superb award-winning cuisine and spectacular views across the lake, is regarded as one of the very best in Geneva. The hotel's Leopard Room Bar is undeniably the most famous bar in the city - the perfect setting in which to meet friends, down a few cocktails and enjoy contemporary live music on the weekends.

If you are looking for a great excuse for a weekend away, then the 80th International Geneva Motor Show, from the 4th until the 14th March, should do the trick. This year is set to be a bumper one - it includes the unveiling of the next-generation 2011 Audi A8, 2011 BMW 5-Series, and the 2011 Porsche Cayenne. Visitors can get into 'Top Gear' with the hotel's special motor show package that includes accommodation for two in a beautifully appointed room or suite, buffet breakfast, two tickets and return taxi transfers for the Motorshow and a four-course dinner in Windows restaurant. However, guests should book soon, as the hotel is very popular during this 10-day period.
