Hotel d'Angleterre
Geneva, Switzerland · Red Carnation · Grand Luxury
Anthony Krafft designed the 1872 lakefront facade on Geneva's Quai du Mont-Blanc, still facing the Jet d'Eau as a 45-room Red Carnation hotel. A 1995 rebuild kept only the listed facade, staircase, and floors and cut the keys from 60 to 45; the Tollmans arrived in 2001. Forbes Four-Star and a MICHELIN Key now mark a house whose presidential suite has hosted both Mikhail Gorbachev and Michael Jackson.
