Switzerland: Global luxury hospitality company Jumeirah Group has acquired its first property in Switzerland, the Le Richemond located on Lake Geneva.
Le Richemond features 109 rooms and suites and will soon undergo extensive renovations to reposition the hotel in line with Jumeirah’s luxury offering. The group plans to add a wellness and fitness area.
The acquisition marks the fifth hotel in Europe for Jumeirah. Le Richemond will join The Carlton Tower Jumeirah, and Jumeirah Lowndes Hotel in London, UK; Capri Palace Jumeirah on the island of Capri, Italy; and Jumeirah Port Soller Hotel & Spa in Mallorca, Spain.
Katerina Giannouka, CEO of Jumeirah Group said: “This is an important acquisition for Jumeirah as it marks our entry into Switzerland, presenting guests with a prestigious address to stay in the heart of Geneva’s most desirable destination, as well as serving as a gateway to world-renowned ski resorts.
“Le Richemond is a legendary property with a 140-year legacy and impeccable pedigree, and we are committed to preserving this heritage as we redesign the hotel. We are in pursuit of the finest architects and designers to curate an exceptional hotel within the Jumeirah portfolio, and we are confident that the re-launch of this property as a new ultra-luxury hotel in Geneva following the completion of the planned renovation works (currently expected in 2025), will support the city’s tourism economy, attracting both domestic and international visitors for business and leisure.
“As the gateway to the mountains of Europe, Geneva is strategically significant for us as we look to diversify our portfolio in major cities with both summer and winter resort destinations,” she added.
Jumeirah Group, a member of Dubai Holding, has a portfolio of 26 hotels and resorts across Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
