The Chateau de Divonne is a 19th-century manor house set in acres of rolling parkland in Divonne-les-Bains, France. It's a great location for leisure and business travellers alike; just 20 minutes from Geneva Airport, with gorgeous views over the surrounding Alpine mountain range and Mont Blanc.

The facilities

Plentiful facilities, as one would expect from a resort-like hotel. There's a casino close by, plus a 18-hole golf course and full fitness centre on site. The signature restaurant serves top-notch French cuisine, with a keen focus on local and seasonal produce. There's also a cosy bar area for late-night cocktails and an outdoor terrace for summer dining.

Businessfolk are well taken care of, with a choice of meeting and function rooms. Business services include audio-visual equipment, conference telephone facilities, overhead projectors and wifi/broadband access.

The rooms

Each of the Chateau de Divonne's 84 guest rooms is traditional in style (those with an aversion to chintz beware). All are comfortable and cosy, with wifi internet access, satellite television and dark wood furniture.
