The Geneva Inn - A lakefront hotel with award-winning dining, complimentary champagne, and panoramic views of Geneva Lake

Sitting directly on the shores of Geneva Lake, The Geneva Inn is a historic, lakefront property that offers guests a romantic setting with modern amenities. The hotel features 3-star accommodations with complimentary champagne at check-in and nightly turn-down service. Each air-conditioned room includes a flat-screen TV, private bathroom, and select rooms have a balcony or seating area. The on-site restaurant, Oak & Oar, provides lakeside dining and was voted a 2014 Best Scenic View Restaurant in America and a 2015 Diner's Choice by OpenTable. Guests can enjoy cocktails on the lakeside patio or access seasonal piers for boats and charters. The Geneva Inn is a 6-minute drive from downtown Lake Geneva and within proximity to Big Foot Beach State Park, Lake Geneva Museum of History, and Geneva Lake Boat Tours. Free private parking is available on-site, and the hotel offers a 24-hour front desk, meeting and banquet facilities, and free WiFi. Recreational activities include hiking and golfing nearby, though the hotel has no swimming pool. The fitness center contains one elliptical machine, one stationary bike, and light dumbbells. A continental-style coffee bar in the lobby provides packaged breakfast items for purchase. The hotel's location offers easy access to the Lake Shore path, a popular walking trail. The Geneva Inn also provides room service, daily housekeeping, and a shared lounge/TV area.
