Geneva, Switzerland · citizenM · Near Luxury
citizenM Geneva opened in September 2020 with 144 rooms over the shops at 40 Rue du Marché, entered from 31 Rue de la Rôtisserie, facing Place du Molard. Swatch and the shoe shop Aeschbacher stayed on the ground floor. The listed facade on the square, the walls around the inner court, and the staircase were kept. Upstairs is the citizenM living room, Vitra furniture wrapped around that court, and compact rooms with a tablet by the bed that runs the lights and the blinds. The upper floors had been offices until the end of 2016.

About citizenM Geneva
- ECAL students Sara Bastai, Natalie Maximova, and Manqin Zhang, with Kimou Meier, made work for the hotel. The living room is where you actually see the art, the books, and the Vitra chairs.
- PSP Swiss Property has owned the building since 2002 and said in 2017 it would spend about 30 million francs turning the offices into this hotel. Monoplan ran the restoration.
- A 1990s canopy on Rue du Marché came off in the works, and the inner court opens to the shoe shop again. Concrete, the brand's usual studio, shaped the rooms.
History
citizenM Geneva opened in September 2020, 144 rooms, the group's second Swiss hotel after Zurich. Guests enter at Rue de la Rôtisserie 31-33. The building is also numbered 40 Rue du Marché, opposite Place du Molard. Swatch and Aeschbacher, the shoe shop, stayed at street level. The Molard facade, three courtyard facades, and the staircase are listed. PSP Swiss Property, owner since 2002, budgeted about 30 million francs in 2017 for the conversion of offices that had filled the upper floors until the end of 2016. Monoplan was the conversion architect. Concrete Amsterdam designed the rooms and the living room, with Vitra furniture, as on other citizenM houses.
The setting
Place du Molard is the left-bank square at the foot of the old town, between Rue du Marché and Rue de la Rôtisserie. The lake and the Jardin Anglais are a short walk north. Cornavin is about fifteen minutes on foot.
