Express Geneva Hotel

Everyone will be staying at the Express Geneva Hotel

See map here

The hotel has a very practical location (2 min away from the airport and 15 minutes away from the main train station. It also has a good meeting room with all the fancy stuff that comes with it (flipcharts, projectors, writing boards etc...)

It looks a little out of the way from the city centre but in fact, it's actually very easy access to downtown Geneva so it will be easy for us to go out on the town Saturday evening after a long productive day :)

  • Breakfast will be served on Saturday and Sunday morning in the hotel.
  • Sandwiches and beverages will be served for lunch in the meeting room
  • A dinner will be organized in downtown Geneva at 21:00 (location TBD)
