Geneva, Switzerland – The Fairmont Grand Hotel Geneva, one of the city’s most prestigious and iconic hotels, is set to host the largest and most comprehensive auction of hotel contents ever held in Europe in February 2025. The event, which is expected to draw individuals, hospitality operators, and design enthusiasts from around the world, will offer a unique opportunity to own a piece of history from this renowned 5-star hotel-led complex before it undergoes a visionary transformation.
The four-day auction will feature over 6,000 unique lots, including furnishings, artwork, and accessories from guest bedrooms, as well as assets from the hotel’s restaurants, banqueting halls, commercial kitchens, terrace furniture, laundry and linen, generators, and even the contents of the famous Théâtre du Léman. According to auction director Simon Rose, this event is much more than just a sale; it is a landmark event that will capture the attention of collectors and fans alike.
The Fairmont Grand Hotel temporarily closed its doors at the end of 2024 to undergo a major transformation, which is set to begin in Q2 2025. Once completed, the revitalized property will stand as a symbol of forward-thinking design and sustainable luxury, becoming a new icon in Geneva for both the local community and global visitors. The hotel will continue its legacy of excellence and offer guests an unparalleled experience in the years to come.

Its prime location on the shores of Lake Geneva, with stunning views of the Jet d’Eau fountain, Mont Blanc, and the French Alps, has made it a beloved destination for travelers from all over the world. The hotel boasts 412 elegant rooms and suites, high-end restaurants, a spa complex, a 1,400-seat theater, and the popular Java nightclub. The upcoming renovation project marks the next chapter in the hotel’s extraordinary legacy, ensuring that it continues to offer guests an unparalleled experience.
