September 1st, 2020, exactly 13 months after landing in Zurich, citizenM – the multi-award-winning Dutch hospitality and lifestyle brand – is opening a new hotel in Geneva. This is citizenM’s second property in Switzerland, 14th in Europe, and second of three openings for 2020 – counting Seattle South Lake Union and Washington DC Capitol (opening soon).

citizenM is the creator of the ‘affordable luxury’ approach to hotel stays. This starts with selecting well-connected, prime locations in the world’s most popular cities, putting business and leisure travellers in the heart of the action. Each property creates a streamlined, smart experience – including high-tech amenities, genuine and efficient service, luxury guest rooms, and just-like-home living rooms filled with contemporary art and books. In Geneva, the citizenM ‘affordable luxury’ hotel stay will be one of a kind – a truly fresh, new alternative in a market dominated by expensive old-world luxury hotels. Today’s mobile citizens of the world will appreciate having more choice in style of accommodation, with prices starting from 129 CHF per night.

In summer 2020, citizenM took its tech-savvy philosophy to the next level by introducing the world’s first contactless stays^[1] via the free app^[2] for iOS and Android. Using only a smart device, any guest can check-in and pre-select a room on the way to the hotel, open doors, order food, control room ambiance, pay for all purchases and check-out. For today’s health-aware travellers, the completely contactless experience is precisely what they need to alleviate their worries.

With the contactless experience in place, the new citizenM Geneva is an extremely attractive destination for design-and-tech-loving mobile citizens of the world. The 144-room hotel is a conversion of a former office building on Rue du Marché – Geneva’s main shopping street. The hotel overlooks Place du Molard, close to the famous Old Town and picturesque Lake Geneva. It’s an A+ prime urban location – as usual for citizenM – with superb public transport connections, tourist attractions and a multitude of international business headquarters nearby.
