Hamlet
Design-forward, residential, understated luxury. Think modernist furniture exhibition meets private Parisian pied-à-terre — genuinely lived-in rather than staged.
The Courtyard Studios are the quietest on the property — floor-to-ceiling windows face the inner courtyard rather than the street.
Why It Matters
Furnished in partnership with Vitra, the interiors read like a curated design retrospective. The co-founders — Tara (product design background, London) and Christoph (management consultancy, Vienna) — set out to do for serviced apartments what Soho House did for hotels. Architecture by Patrice Reynaud, interior architecture by Ykra, artwork by Lynne Hacking throughout.
The Hamlet is a 20-apartment serviced residence in an 18th-century townhouse in Geneva's Old Town. It's not a hotel — it's what happens when two design-obsessed founders team up with Vitra and essentially turn an historic building into a living modernist museum. Every apartment comes furnished with pieces by Jean Prouvé, Charles and Ray Eames, and Jasper Morrison, alongside Bang & Olufsen sound systems and Aesop bath products. Book for a single night or an entire year.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Courtyard Duplex Apartments
Split-level apartments with the bedroom set above the main living area — a loft-style configuration in the courtyard wing. One of the more architecturally interesting options in the building. The staircase is narrow but sturdy per guest accounts. Good for those who want the most residential, house-like feel.
Courtyard One-Bedroom Apartments
One-bedroom apartments on the courtyard side of the property — quieter and set away from the main street. Fully equipped kitchens, proper living and dining areas, and the full Vitra furniture treatment. A solid pick for couples who want a bit more separation between sleeping and living.
Courtyard Studio Apartments
At 40m², these are the entry point — but they're designed to feel more like one-bedrooms. Separate bedroom area with a queen bed, kitchen flooded with natural light, and a proper lounging space. Floor-to-ceiling windows look onto the inner courtyard, making these some of the quietest units in the building. Bathrooms come with Aesop essentials and top-spec fittings. In-unit washer/dryer.
Queen (160×200cm) · 40 sqmTownhouse One-Bedroom Apartments
The largest one-bedroom option, running 50–70m² in the main townhouse. Open-plan living and dining room, full-sized kitchen, king bed. The living rooms include a sofa-bed for extra guests and Vitra pieces like the iconic Jean Prouvé desk. Bathrooms have Aesop essentials throughout. A Prouvé desk in the living room is one of those details that makes the Hamlet genuinely feel different from every other serviced apartment in Geneva.
King (180×200cm) · 60 sqmTownhouse Studio Apartments
The townhouse-facing counterpart to the Courtyard Studios. Located in the main building with views toward the street and Old Town. Same Vitra design DNA, Aesop essentials, and Bang & Olufsen sound system as all units. Good for solo travelers or couples who want the character of the historic facade side of the building.
Townhouse Two-Bedroom Apartments
The biggest unit in the building — and it shows. Large living and dining room, two bedrooms with king beds, two full bathrooms, a separate laundry room, and a kitchen that can genuinely handle dinner parties. The master suite comes with a bathtub and Jean Prouvé desk. The living room features an Antonio Citterio sofa. Sizes run up to 130m². Ideal for families or two couples traveling together who refuse to compromise.
