Hôtel Real Nyon ★★★★

A short, 30-minute drive North of Geneva, Hotel Real Nyon has found the secret recipe for holiday happiness and creating those special moments that will be told around the dinner table for years to come. Opened in 2003, this little slice of paradise offers a range of comfortable rooms and suites overlooking the blue waters of Lake Geneva or local vineyard, with well-equipped marble bathrooms and all of the luxuries needed to take a true break, including in some cases, a private balcony or terrace.

There are many beautiful bars and refined restaurants right on the hotel’s doorstep to choose from. But you can also treat yourself to a memorable meal at Le Grand Café, the hotel’s bar and restaurant, serving exquisite Italian cuisine and wine, with sweeping views over the lake.

Just a few steps away from the city centre, this contemporary hotel, made of noble materials, offers easy access to a wide range of exciting activities and adventures, which are sure to fulfil everyone’s holiday dreams. Discover the region’s historical heritage at the Nyon Roman Archaeological Museum and explore the majestic mediaeval castle, just a five minute walk away, or take a cruise across the lake from the dock in front of the hotel.

Practise your swing at one of three nearby golf courses before taking an evening stroll along the Roman promenade and settling down to enjoy a refreshing beverage in one of the town’s elegant bars. Kick-back and relax on the stylish public beach of Nyon, where you can lie on the sand or grass, or at the swimming pool. There are also paddle boats, stand-up paddleboards and canoes available to rent. For those who are looking to fuel their fitness regime, the nearby Colovray Nyon Sports Centre has a wide range of sporting facilities, including six pitches for football, rugby and athletics.
