Back in Geneva, Ultima Quai Wilson offers the ideal retreat: five full-floor private residences in a sensitively restored heritage building on the lakeside promenade. Each combines privacy and tranquillity with sweeping views of Lake Geneva and Mont Blanc, private spa access, and interiors that balance thoughtful design with understated elegance.
