The Royal, N’vY, Auteuil, Kipling, Jade and Edelweiss hotels each possess their own unique atmosphere, each quite different from the last, but they also maintain certain key features.
We have created six 3 and 4-star hotels with a unique design, with a strong and differentiating identity. In our boutique-hotels, you can experience a culinary break, relax, share a moment of life or work.

The special ties between Manotel and Geneva stem from the exceptional location of its six establishments, all situated at the heart of the city, on the right bank, between the park-lined shores of Lake Geneva and the international organizations district. A city of excellence with a longstanding tradition of hospitality, Geneva is an inspirational source of values proudly upheld by the group and its 240 strong personnel.
What defines the Manotel culture is the company’s human-size. With just over 300 employees, Manotel Group offers the opportunity to work with a distinct portfolio of properties while promoting employee empowerment. This ability to get involved and get things done is one of the many things Manotel employees appreciate about the company.
Diversity and inclusion are also values Manotel prioritises. With 36 nationalities and 51% women, Manotel is proud of its international workforce, but above all, the hotel group hires the person, not the demographic, not the education, and not necessarily the experience. “We focus much more on personality than education and qualifications".
Manotel is constantly looking to the future, and its size allows it to be both agile and innovative while providing a unique perspective and playground for its employees.
Paul Muller, a graduate of the Lausanne Hotel School, managed several companies in Europe and the Bahamas before taking over the general management of the Manotel Group in 2001. At that time, the challenge was considerable. Together with Mr. Danial of Finial Capital, Paul Muller – in charge of the six hotels and as many restaurants – managed to give each establishment its own identity as well as a coherence to the group.
A vast renovation program was undertaken in 2000, which succeeded in creating six hotel concepts, acclaimed by professional experts. The portfolio comprises 3- and 4- star hotels.
Extremely customer and service-orientated, Paul Muller naturally attaches great importance to the qualification and ongoing training of the 220 members of staff.
In 2001 – at a time when the outcome was still far from decided – Omar Danial and Paul Muller had the excellent foresight to sign a sponsorship agreement with Alinghi. The image of the double winner of the America’s Cup is therefore linked to the Manotel Group, which shares the same values: innovation, dynamism and team spirit.
Paul Muller was President of the Geneva Hotel Owners Association from 2005 to 2011 and he continues to work from time to time as a Committee member. He is acknowledged for his negotiating capabilities and his qualities in the field of reconciliation. He is, in addition, a full member of the Administrative Board of Geneva Palexpo SA and the Foundation for Tourism Committee.
Manotel is the leading independent hotel group in Geneva with a portfolio including six 3 and 4 star hotels. Building on a unique universe that invites guests to enjoy a definite change of scene, each establishment cultivates its own singular nature. All express the group’s ambition to offer a certain art of living.
