HOSPITALITY IN THE HEART OF GENEVA
In early 2022, Ruby Hotel Geneva opened its doors in the heart of Geneva, just steps away from Lake Geneva and surrounded by the city’s main shopping streets, Rue de Rhône and Rue du Marché.
Monoplan was appointed to develop the plans for the transformation and repurposing of the former office buildings into Geneva’s first Ruby Hotel. The project brought together three interconnected buildings, including one with a preserved historic façade, creating a dialogue between the city’s architectural heritage and contemporary hospitality.
Following the design language of the Ruby Hotels brand, the interiors combine an urban character with carefully curated details and a warm, laid back atmosphere. While the project shares certain similarities with other Ruby Hotels such as Ruby Coco Hotel & Bar and Ruby Lilly Hotel & Bar, the Geneva location was developed with its own distinct identity inspired by the city and its context.
How important is it for hotel design to reflect the character of its location?
