The Bar/Lounge at Hotel d'Angleterre

"The Leopard Room bar has a working fireplace, live music six nights a week, and an adjacent smoking room with a wide selection of cigars"

"It offers a convenient location right on the shores of Lake Geneva -- near shopping, dining, attractions and public transportation -- and high-end amenities such as in-room spa treatments, an acclaimed bar, and a wonderful restaurant with superb views and a popular afternoon tea service"

" The buffet breakfast, served in the airy restaurant that faces the lake's celebrated water jet, is extensive and top-notch (with full cooked breakfast, fruits, cold cuts, wholesome breads/ and fresh fluffy croissants served with pots of homemade jams), and I especially like the safari-inspired Leopard Room bar, with its animal-hide upholstery, colonial-style antique trunks that double as tables, and extensive whisky selection"

"Is it the stone falade reminiscent of Haussmann's Paris that gives the Hotel d'Angleterre its very particular character? Or perhaps the muted London club style of its lounges, or even the ca reful ly chosen decor (classic, Venetian, 'design', etc"

"As the name suggests, the hotel shows interiors with a penchant for the British Isles, and the daily tea in the exquisite little lounge fittingly furnishes Devonshire cream, and cakes and finger food that are as good as anything from the West End"
