Hôtel Restaurant Baud can host a seminar, a business meeting, a cocktail reception or a wedding, and the whole hotel and restaurant can be privatized for one group. Its event room, the Espace Nature, covers more than 150 square meters, and 16 rooms and suites let guests stay the night. The house stands at 181 avenue du Léman in Bonne, in Haute-Savoie, in the Arve valley between Geneva and the Alps.
Seminars and company events
The Espace Nature is fully equipped for meetings and opens onto the garden, so a working day can alternate sessions indoors with breaks outside. Companies can book a meeting day with lunch at the restaurant, a residential seminar using the 16 rooms, or an evening cocktail. Because the house is small, full privatization gives a management team or a client group the whole place to itself.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel sells weddings and private receptions. Couples can combine the garden, the terraces and the restaurant for the ceremony drinks and the dinner, and take the rooms and suites for the families. Privatizing both the hotel and the restaurant keeps the day private from start to finish.
Rooms and capacities
The main event room is the Espace Nature, more than 150 square meters with equipment for presentations. The garden, overlooked by the hotel and restaurant terraces, serves for receptions in good weather. The hotel does not publish a guest count for the room, so the number for each layout is confirmed directly with the house.
Accommodation
There are 16 rooms and suites. Categories include Deluxe rooms, a Junior Suite and a series of named suites: Suite Balnéo, Suite Pavillon, Suite Picasso, Suite Emeraude, Suite Cigogne and Suite Vermeer. The hotel is open seven days a week.
Catering
Catering comes from La Table de Baud, the house restaurant, which holds two toques from Gault&Millau and is listed in the Michelin Guide. It has its own wine list and bar. The restaurant serves from Tuesday to Saturday, so events on Sunday or Monday are planned with the team in advance.
History and setting
Bonne is a village on the road from Geneva toward the Chablais and the ski resorts of Haute-Savoie. The hotel has a garden behind the main building, with terraces for the restaurant and the rooms facing it, which gives meetings and receptions a green setting away from the road.
Getting there
Geneva and its airport are a short drive away across the Swiss border, and Annemasse, with its rail links to Geneva and the French network, is the nearest large town. Most guests arrive by car, and the hotel can be reached easily from the A40 motorway.
