A Great Time for the Family in Geneva

    LONDON, ENGLAND, June 28, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The chic sophistication, abundant luxury and exemplary service that makes the Hotel d'Angleterre so popular with discerning adults will be appreciated by younger family members as well - they go out of our way to make sure the children feel just as special. From children's menus to 24-hour kids' movies, adjoining rooms to complimentary excursions, the special package we've put together means the whole family will have a host of happy memories to last a lifetime.

Whilst Geneva has so much to offer grown-ups in terms of superb shopping, outstanding wining and dining and elegant surroundings, there also are plenty of diversions and attractions for youngsters. For a start, Europe's tallest fountain -Jet d'Eau - is right outside the hotel's front door, creating a magical rainbow in the summer sunshine.

The beautiful lake is ideal for spectacular boat trips while the surrounding mountains offer an abundance of breathtaking sightseeing opportunities.

There's also mini train rides guiding you through the city's beautiful Botanical Garden, a historical tour of the Old City and alongside Quai Gustave Ador on the left bank of the lake.
And let's not forget excursions to a Swiss Chocolate Maker's factory or Museum - the Swiss eat more chocolate than anyone else in the whole world, consuming one 500g bar each every day!

In addition to these fun pastimes, the city is home to some truly fascinating museums, including the International Red Cross Museum, the Natural History Museum (with dinosaurs and an aquarium), the Swiss Watch and Clock Museum, to name but a few.

Our Family package includes:
• Special VIP welcome for kids, including a drink for the whole family on arrival
• A superior King or Twin room for the parents, conveniently connecting to a Classic Queen room for the children, provided they are less than 10 years old
• Daily buffet breakfast with a great choice for everyone
• Free kids' movies available 24 hours a day
• Free Internet access so the children can play their favourite games
• Child-sized bathrobes plus a selection of toys and games to play with
• Tickets for all the family on the mini train
• A children's menu at Windows Restaurant, as well as room service

Dating back to 1872, Hotel d'Angleterre has all the old world charm with new world service. Located on the shores of Lake Geneva, with majestic views of the Jet d'Eau, Mont Blanc and surrounding mountains, the hotel is a short walk or boat ride to Geneva's elite shopping on Rue du Rhone and the banking district. Each of the 39 guest rooms and 6 luxury suites are lavishly decorated with the finest fabrics and furnishings in a distinctly European style. The hotel boasts Windows Restaurant, celebrated for its superb cuisine and spectacular views across and beyond to Mont Blanc. Its Leopard Lounge, the most famous bar in the city, is the perfect place to sample its well-stocked selection and cigar lounge and enjoy contemporary live music on the weekends.
