Weekly Social Events
Every Thursday, between 17h and 18h30, Crowne Plaza Geneva hosts warm and engaging gatherings exclusive to our guest at the BAR. From tasting to relaxed social meet-ups, enjoy moments designed to connect, unwind, and discover local flavours.
Concept & Philosophy
For some guests, it might be about meeting like-minded people. For others, it’s simply spending quality time with family. While for others, it’s about having the freedom to connect — and disconnect — on their terms.
With flexible spaces, amenities and people-led service, we allow every individual to connect with whatever matters most to them.
We offer good food, great conversation and welcoming spaces — all underpinned by a fluid and professional approach that values each guest’s wants, needs and challenges. Where everything is easy and familiar, yet exciting and inspiring. Where togetherness counts.
