    Bouchard Finlayson

    Hermanus, Western Cape

    Bouchard Finlayson Vineyard Background

    A vineyard between heaven & earth

    Cradled amid the hills of the Hemel-en-Aarde (Heaven and Earth) valley,
    Bouchard Finlayson is widely acclaimed as one of South Africa’s leading boutique wine cellars.

    With a terroir defined by both ancient soils and a cool maritime climate, the vineyards of Bouchard Finlayson are famous for producing award-winning
    Pinot Noir, elegant Chardonnay and terroir-driven Sauvignon Blanc, while inspired blends showcase the depth of skill and innovation in our winemaking team.

    The Bouchard Finlayson cellar is conveniently located a scenic 90 minutes’ drive from Cape Town, close to the world-famous whale-watching centre of Hermanus.

    Our family

    The Hotel d’Angleterre is a proud part of the family-owned and run Red Carnation Collection. Led by General Manager Jean-Vital Domezon, with over 18 years with the company, our team is a family of warm and passionate people, deeply committed to giving the very best guest experience. We are deeply proud of the hotel’s history, both as one of the first hotels in Geneva, and as the city’s only luxury boutique hotel.

    A breathtaking location

    Throw open the French doors to your suite, breathe the fresh mountain air and gaze out over placid Lake Geneva and its famous Jet d’Eau, the magnificent 140-metre fountain, backed by snow-dusted Alpine peaks and the majestic Mont Blanc. Set in the heart of the picturesque Swiss city of Geneva, the hotel combines the joys of a central location – the complimentary boat shuttle service leaves from just outside the hotel – with the relaxing atmosphere of a lakeside retreat.

    An extrordinary heritage

    Built-in 1872, the hotel is a true city landmark, with an impressive facade designed by celebrated architect Anthony Krafft. Not only is Hotel D’Angleterre famous for its refined style and generous service, but our pedigree means we are also proud to have some of the longest-serving members of staff of any hotel; one member of our concierge team was with us for 42 years.

    Dining with a view

    From the theatrical Crêpes Suzette prepared at your table, to delectable Wagyu beef, healthy breakfasts and delicious high teas, Windows restaurant is renowned for service and spectacular views over the lake. Executive Chef Alexandre Cardiga creates signature dishes from our founder and president Beatrice Tollman, alongside local specialities and an exceptional wine list, including hand-crafted wines from our sister property vineyard, Bouchard Finlayson.

    Stories to tell

    Our history runs deep. Even our meeting spaces have incredible stories to tell, from the blue-walled 'Louise', named after Princess Louise who fell in love right here with her Belgian teacher and renounced her Austrian title, to the classic, gentlemen’s club-like Cigar Lounge, or the vibrant Leopard Lounge. The Salon Parquet, meanwhile, is an elegant room with original 19th-century flooring and golden chandeliers, with the fittingly awe-inspiring backdrop of the lake just outside.

    Unique design and curated art

    Stay more than once and you’ll quickly see that no two rooms are alike. Each is filled with carefully curated antique pieces and fascinating pieces of art, with beautiful marble and onyx bathrooms, raw silk curtains and rich, fabric-lined walls giving a cosy yet sumptuous feel. Some suites have private balconies overlooking the lake, while others feature fine art lithographs by Miró, Calder and Picasso – and all are designed with our guests’ comfort at front of mind.

    Thoughtful touches

    Our staff are proud to work in such a historical hotel, and are passionate about the genuine difference they can make to each and every guest’s stay. From knowing your name from the moment you arrive, or offering a complimentary glass of Champagne before dinner, to setting up a delicious picnic by the lake, or leaving delicate hand-made chocolates in your suite, our service is subtle, caring and truly generous.

    Authentic experiences

    Visitors and locals flock to our justly famous afternoon tea, where home-made cakes and delicate finger sandwiches are served on elegant tiered plates – all enjoyed with the finest views of Lake Geneva. Our local experiences are exceptional, thanks to our expert concierge team and our long-standing relationships, including a fascinating half-day watchmaking workshop, an unforgettable picnic by Bentley to Perle du Lac, and an insightful market tour with our executive chef.

    Geneva's most cherished bar

    Led by Fabio Dotolo, The Leopard Bar is renowned for its selection of impressive beverages, from the prestigious wine list, to creative cocktails and an extensive whisky menu - featuring over 50 pure malt and blended options. There is also a delicious menu, which includes some of our favourite signature dishes - from our famous Leopard Bar steak sandwich to our signature cheesecake. The Leopard Bar is also a popular destination for live music and our Cigar Room featuring a world-class cigar menu, is also available for drinks.
