Le Richemond

To celebrate the opening of Rocco Forte’s Le Richemond in Geneva on 21 September, the hotel is offering a 25 per cent saving on day delegate rates for meetings booked between 1 September and 31 October that take place in the months of October, November and December 2007.

Le Richemond’s opening day delegate meeting rate starts from approximately £50 and includes:
* Main meeting room hire with mineral water
* Basic technical equipment
* Stationery
* Morning & afternoon coffee breaks
* Three-course lunch including water, coffee and one bottle of wine per every three delegates
* Flower arrangement for lunch
The opening offer is valid for residential seminars only, based on a minimum of 20 rooms per night. 

As an added incentive for meeting planners, Le Richemond is offering the company that generates the most revenue between 1 October 2007 and 29 February 2008, a two-night stay in the hotel’s stunning Royal Suite, which accommodates six people.  The prize includes breakfast on both mornings, one dinner in the hotel’s new stylish Italian restaurant Sapori and chauffeur-driven return transfers from Geneva International airport.

Geneva’s legendary Le Richemond has undergone an 18-month renovation by designer John Stefanidis, which was overseen by The Rocco Forte Collection’s Director of Design Olga Polizzi.  First opened in 1863, the hotel is one of the most prestigious in Geneva and is located in the heart of the city, just minutes from the business districts, with stunning views of the Alps and Lake Geneva.  Geneva International airport is only a 15-minute journey by car from the hotel.

Business facilities include:
* Over 476m² of conference and banqueting facilities
* Three meeting rooms, all with natural daylight, accommodating up to 205 delegates.  All meeting rooms are equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including touch panel controls, individually regulated air-conditioning and WiFi internet access
* A luxurious ballroom that can accommodate 110 people for a seated dinner and 120 people for a drinks reception
* All 109 spacious bedrooms feature dedicated work stations, flat-screen televisions and high-speed internet access

After a day of meetings, guests can unwind in the hotel’s new spa facility, complete with five treatment rooms, a sauna, a Turkish steam room, fully-equipped gym and relaxation room.
