Lonely Planet review

A must for design buffs, this four-star hotel near the train station is the crown jewel of the Manotel collection. Concrete and glass outside, inside is a mirage of original oils portraying 1950s screen idols and original black and white snaps from the same decade of film stars in Geneva.

Un collection privée sums up the privileged mood of the place. Where else can one admire shots of Jacques Brel before a concert in 1966, Audrey Hepburn stepping off the plane at Geneva airport in 1960 or Charlie Chaplin presenting his tot of a daughter Annette in 1959 on the way to breakfast? Hot tip: frustratingly, none of the framed photos are captioned; grab The Book from reception to find out precisely who's who and where. Unique art works aside, Auteuil's 104 hotel rooms are as clean-cut and masculine in design as you would expect from Parisian interior designer, Paul Sartres. Black, greys and golds predominate.
