MEININGER Hotel Genève Centre Charmilles

Discover our neighborhood in Geneva city center

You'll discover that the MEININGER Hotel Genève Centre Charmilles has an ideal location, nestled between city and nature, in the heart of the lively Charmilles district. From your door, it's a simple stroll or a short bus ride to the Geneva city center where you can enjoy plenty of activities: Lake Geneva is offering boat cruises, walks on the shore and even swimming in the summer! Or you can just walk along the Rhône River and relax at one of the many restaurants and bars.

Trolleybus lines make your journey from and to the airport or the central station super easy. You can reach Geneve airport in 20 minutes via line 10 and Geneve central railway station in 10 minutes via lines 6, 10 and 19. Enjoy!
The most famous attraction is Jet d'Eau, an enormous water fountain in Lake Geneva and you can check it out in just 25 minutes by bus. Take out your phones and cameras and snap some shots at the Pont du Mont-Blanc, Quai du Mont-Blanc and Quai Gustave-Ador.

Are you an adventurous spirit? There are so many watersport opportunities at Lake Geneva, such as windsurfing, paddle boarding and wake boarding!

If you're traveling with family, definitely don't miss the Parc aux Animaux du Bois-de-la-Bâtie which you can reach in 20 minutes on foot from the hotel. There, you can explore local animal species and keep in mind that the entry to the park is free!

The most traditionally scenic part of the city is Geneva's Old Town, clustered on a hill around the Cathédrale Saint-Pierre and the pretty Place du Bourg-de-Four. Delve into Geneva's history with a visit to the archaeological remains beneath the cathedral, before wandering along the Promenade for lovely views of the Parc des Bastions and the Jura mountain range in the distance.
The MEININGER Hotel Genève Centre Charmilles is ideally located at the core of Charmilles on the right bank of the Rhône, making it well-connected to the city center and all the most picturesque places it has to offer. Just around the corner there are three parks: Parc Gustave & Léonard Hentsch, Parc des Franchises and Parc Geisendorf. These are all perfect spots for your morning walk and also convenient if you're traveling with pets!

Take a short bus ride to the Vieille Ville, the historic center. Walk the cobbled streets and immerse yourself in the vintage ambience via intriguing little corners, fountains, shops, cafes, terraces with lookouts and historical sights.

You love museums? There are 36 museums spread across Geneva! Three museums you should definetely visit are: Musée d'ethnographie de Genève (won the prestigious European Museum of the Year Award back in 2017), Patek Philippe Museum (fascinating private collection of Genevan, Swiss and European timepieces and trinkets) and Maison Tavel (the place to explore Geneva's history).
You can check in at the MEININGER Hotel Genève Centre Charmilles from 3 PM and check out until 11 AM. For CHF 20 more, you can use your room until 2 PM (only possible for private rooms).
Street parking is available for you close to the hotel (fees apply) as well as an underground parking garage on site.
Nothing excites us more than being part of your family's travel memories!
Our private multi-bedded rooms for up to 6 people are big enough to have everyone sleep in the same room. Baby cots can be set up on request. Did we mention they are on us.

FAMILY DISCOUNT-only available on our website*
