Enjoy spectacular lake views across Lac Léman, delicious dining opportunities, and authentic Swiss experiences.
Discover Lac Léman
Lac Léman, also known as Lake Geneva or Lake Leman, is well known for its glistening, deep-blue waters and striking mountainous surroundings. The majestic Hotel d’Angleterre occupies a special place in Lac Léman’s history, playing host to many notable figures over the years. Situated on the shores of Lac Léman, Hotel d’Angleterre provides an enviable location from which to explore Geneva.
About 583 sq km in area, Lac Léman is the largest lake in central Europe, with Hotel d’Angleterre offering impressive views across the lake and of the striking Jet d’Eau. Our beloved hotel combines the joys of a central location with the relaxing atmosphere of a lakeside retreat. Lac Léman offers so many opportunities, both for sightseeing and for leisure, with the complimentary boat shuttle service leaving from just outside the hotel.
In French "Le Lac Léman” means the whole lake, referring to the lake in its entirety rather than its position within the city of Geneva. "Le Lac de Genève" technically refers only to the part of the lake that twists round towards Geneva, so Lac Léman - or Lake Leman - is a more common local term than Lake Geneva, which became popular following the rise of Geneva.
Windows Restaurant
Hotel d’Angleterre’s renowned Windows Restaurant offers an optimal viewpoint of Lac Léman. Framing enchanting, panoramic views of the lake and Mont Blanc, Windows Restaurant serves contemporary cuisine, with a selection of world dishes made with fresh and seasonal produce.
Windows’ thoughtful menu showcases the bounty of the area with the use of seasonal, local ingredients. Our experience highlights this local focus with an enjoyable fishing trip. Join a seasoned Swiss angler on Lake Geneva for a three-hour fishing tour, where you can learn the local fishing practices. You will then take your catch back to Executive Chef Alexandre Cardiga, who will prepare a sublime three-course lunch for you to enjoy. Lunch will be served with paired wines in Windows Restaurant, overlooking the lake and the Jet d’Eau.
