Geneva is jewel of a city. It acts as a magnet for diplomats, auction house insiders, watch industry professionals, and tourists who enjoy combining their holidays with world-class shopping. Then there are the pleasure-seekers – open-minded explorers ready to immerse themselves in Geneva’s vibrant bar scene and the liquid delights on both sides of the Rhône. Like many German-speaking Swiss, I must admit, I know Paris, Milan, London – and even Bangkok – better than I know Geneva. That’s about to change. Our cocktail tour begins in style at the magnificent Hotel des Bergues, a landmark in a prime lakeside location. As the city’s very first hotel, it has stood the test of time and has been part of the Four Seasons family since its grand reopening in 2003. Most importantly for us, it’s home to an exquisite bar and the perfect starting point for our evening.

I believe the explorer among us will understand me, when I say I get somehow nervous, in a good way, when checking into new places, that I’ve never been to before. It’s a mixed feeling of excitement, curiosity and expectations, especially if you’ve booked a nice suite and walk in for the first time.
