The building opened in 1950 as the Hôtel du Rhône, the first hotel built in Europe after the Second World War, and became part of Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group in 2000. Geneva International Airport is roughly 5 to 7 kilometres away, about 15 to 20 minutes by road.

Connecting rooms can be arranged for families on request, and the hotel welcomes dogs up to 15 kilograms with no additional fee.

Dining runs across three outlets: MO Bar for cocktails and light fare, Ottolenghi for a vegetable-forward Mediterranean menu, and SACHI, the hotel's Japanese restaurant, which also runs an Omakase counter. In-room dining operates around the clock. For wellness, guests can use Ambassade Biologique Recherche for face, body and scalp treatments, the first Swiss branch of the barber salon La Barbière de Paris, a 24-hour fitness centre with TechnoGym equipment, a private yoga studio, and separate sauna and hammam facilities open from 8am to 8pm.
