Le Richemond first opened in 1875 as a family run pension under the name Le-Riche-Mont. The first owner Adolphe-Rodolphe Armleder was the son of a German maker of oak wine barrels.

After the second world war extensive renovations were made to the hotel to raise the standard to a luxury hotel. In 2004 after four generations of ownership the Armleder family sold the hotel to The Rocco Forte Collection. In 2011 the hotel was sold to Cedar Capital Management, who appointed Dorchester Collection to manage the hotel.

The hotel has 109 spacious rooms including 22 suites decorated in a contemporary style with an emphasis on comfort. All lake view rooms have balconies with panoramic views of Lake Geneva Le Richemond’s culinary reputation has been formed by its signature restaurant, Le Jardin, acclaimed as one of the top restaurants in Geneva and Switzerland. Le Jardin offers also a Terrace with a stylish atmosphere in a relaxing setting, facing the Brunswick garden and the lake.

Le Richemond features the only urban Sisley Spa in Switzerland.

The hotel is listed as having one of the top ten most expensive suites, Armleder suite named after the Armleder family.
