Geneva Board Of Tourism Giving Away 1000 Hotel Nights
A couple of weeks ago I was researching some luxury travel spots and noticed that the Fondation Genève Tourisme was holding a drawing to win one of 1000 room nights in a Geneva hotel. I figured what the heck, let’s go for it and entered. This morning I received an email that indicated I had actually won a room night. Hey, sometimes things work out. I followed through on this email and noted that there was a good collection of hotels available. Holiday Inn, Movenpick, a few others I had never heard of and then………. The Mandarin Oriental. Well look at that. Tripadvisor reviews rate it at 4.5 stars. It’s right near the water. And it’s a Mandarin Oriental. The normal rate is 639 CHF with breakfast included, which is about $654 / €577, so this is a very nice opportunity.
The room offered via this contest is a Superior Room overlooking the garden. Hmmmm, I wonder if it’s possible to sweet talk the front desk into a river view?
Superior Room
Overlooking our quiet garden, these spacious rooms offers supreme comfort and excellent facilities. Fully soundproofed to ensure a good night’s sleep, rooms are decorated in natural hues such as warm browns and creams. Furnishings include a queen bed positioned against a stylish mirrored wall, a polished wood working desk and a choice of seating. Perhaps most strikingly, these rooms showcase artwork from the PMco Style art gallery in Paris, carefully selected to blend in with the colours of the room. To complete the picture, the sleek bathrooms are finished in Greek marble and fitted with walk-in showers, stand-alone baths and elegant vanity units.

I’m going to do some more research on my win to be sure everything is as advertised but so far it looks like a good one.
Steve has spent the last 35 years traveling around the world for both business and pleasure. He is a Delta Three Million Miler and has earned top tier elite status with multiple Airline and Hotel Programs. One year after a very long mileage run to Japan to qualify for Delta status, he decided to get serious about finding the best way to travel better for less and started building a portfolio of travel hacking tools and techniques. If there's good travel, hotels, food, wine, spirits and company to be had, there's a way to have it for less.
Follow up – I’ve spoken with the hotel and they have confirmed the reservation and that it is fully paid for the room night.
