Scenarios and venues in Geneva
Meeting formats and venues we work with: five-star hotels in the centre, signature restaurants, theatres, private spaces.
Dinner in Geneva
Dinner is the most frequent scenario in Geneva, especially with the banking and diplomatic audience. A 3-4 hour format: meeting at the hotel lobby or at the restaurant entrance, dinner itself for 2 to 2.5 hours, sometimes a light walk along the embankment after. We book the table ourselves — we hold direct contacts with the maître d's of Le Chat Botté, Bayview, Il Lago and Domaine de Châteauvieux.

Hotel Meeting
For hotel meetings we use the five-star Rive Droite addresses — Beau-Rivage, Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons des Bergues, Hotel d'Angleterre, The Woodward, and La Réserve a little to the side for a private format. In each we know the check-in specifics, reception, private entrances, the best room categories. The model arrives at the lobby, you meet, then — the room or the hotel restaurant by your choice.

Tip:
if you choose the hotel yourself — name it to the manager and he'll tell you the specifics (for example, Beau-Rivage has a separate entrance from Rue du Mont-Blanc, more convenient for privacy)
Business Accompaniment
The Geneva business scenario — the watch week at Palexpo, Pictet and Lombard Odier banking receptions, diplomatic dinners around Place des Nations, corporate events at the major hotels. The model works in strict business code, speaks French and English without exception, understands the context: watchmaking craft at Watches & Wonders, banking etiquette, diplomatic protocol.

Tip:
for the watch week in April the model should follow the main manufactures at least at conversational level; we agree the profile 7-10 days before the start of the week
Opera, Ballet, Film Festivals
The cultural scenario in Geneva — the Grand Théâtre on Place de Neuve, opera and ballet, season from September through July. GIFF in early November is a film-festival format with premieres and after-parties. Art Genève in January is contemporary art at Palexpo. We pick a model with experience of these evenings: she observes the dress code, follows productions or contemporary art at the level of an educated viewer.

Côte d'Azur (Cannes, Nice, Monaco) — a separate scenario, usually three to four days. The model accompanies throughout: breakfast, activities, dinner, evening.

Tip:

Client's Private Locations
Cologny, Vésenaz, private villas on the right bank of the lake, yachts in the harbour, chalets in Gstaad or Courchevel — the format when the client has their own place. For returning clients the address is agreed without additional checks. For new ones the first meeting is usually at Beau-Rivage or Mandarin Oriental, the rest — at the client's.
