Business centre and high liveability
Geneva. The European domicile of the United Nations. Home to the head offices of WHO, WTO, ICRC and UNHCR. More than 250 NGOs with consultative status at the UN maintain offices here. And 176 countries have permanent representations or missions in town. At the same time, Geneva is a known watch-making, science and finance centre.
The city’s extremely high level of liveability is explained by its scenic location on the banks of the rivers Rhône, Arve and Lake Geneva, its unique alpine backdrop and its diversified cultural amenities, among other factors.
The eight-storey period corner building on Rue de la Fontaine occupies a prime location between the River Rhône and the left shore of the lake, directly next to Place du Madeleine and Temple de la Madeleine, the oldest church in Geneva.
Located in the heart of the city’s business district, a few short steps from the bank of the Rhône and Lake Geneva, the area provides everything you heart desires: Flagship stores and time-honoured shops, major brands and hidden gems, cafés, restaurants, hotels, museums, art and culture – everything is right at your doorstep.
