A beloved destination from the 1930s to the 1970s, Auberge Port-Gitana has long attracted artists, royals, and travellers in search of quiet sophistication. Recently restored and reimagined as an intimate boutique hotel, it honours its storied past while embracing contemporary comfort and refined design.

A Story Carved in Water and Time
Auberge Port-Gitana’s origins date back to 1875, when Baroness Julie de Rothschild, a pioneer of Geneva’s lake life, built her Anglo-Norman-style pavilion. Through the decades, the estate evolved into a vibrant cultural hub—hosting artists, performers, and gatherings that shaped local history.
The spirit of those golden years lives on in every corner of Auberge Port-Gitana: from its teak-decked bar to the original stone jetty still embracing the lake.
The hotel is managed by Epoca Collection, while the restaurant experience is crafted and managed by the Gourmet Brothers Group. This partnership brings to life a vision of hospitality defined by respect for nature, cultural heritage, and contemporary elegance.
Epoca Collection brings its signature touch to Auberge Port-Gitana: curating a stay that merges natural beauty, heritage, and contemporary comfort. Every room and suite is an invitation to slow down, to reconnect—with the landscape, with oneself.
Sustainably restored and elegantly redesigned, the hotel blends local materials, soft tones, and open views. It’s not just a destination—it’s an experience in harmony with its surroundings.
The Rooms & Suites
Eighteen light-filled rooms and suites, each thoughtfully crafted with natural woods, neutral palettes, and floor-to-ceiling windows or private balconies. Let the ever-changing colors of Lake Geneva accompany your stay—from sunrise reflections to moonlit stillness.
Brasserie & Bar: A Taste of Lake Geneva
At the heart of Auberge Port-Gitana is its brasserie and lakeside bar, a culinary destination led by Chef Romain Maillot. Here, simplicity meets sophistication—classic dishes are revisited with creativity, seasonality, and locally sourced ingredients.
Pair your meal with a selection from the 600-label wine cellar, or sip on a signature cocktail inspired by Lake Geneva’s sailing heritage.
On sunny days, enjoy the shaded terrace beneath the magnolia tree. On cooler evenings, retreat into the cozy interiors, where every detail echoes the elegance of a bygone era.
Port-Gitana offers exclusive spaces for intimate weddings, private celebrations, and corporate gatherings. With Geneva just a short drive away—and the lake at your feet—it’s an exceptional setting for moments that matter.
