You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Cities Top location 1 block from everything Bistro

If you want the best of Lake Geneva from the one of the hottest locations in the city this then you will love staying here! You are a block from great restaurants, bars, the Riviera docks, the Riviera beach, boat rentals, shopping, and more. You'll park your car in our free parking and not need it for the rest of your stay.

Relax in your private suite, or sit and enjoy the outdoor balcony with a beautiful view of the lake and downtown. When you’re ready to enjoy the town, simply step outside

I am available for any questions throughout your stay

1 block from the beach and downtown, location can't be beat.

Contactless Entry

Parking is free, 1 stall on private property behind building

If soaking up the sun and relaxing at the beach is your idea of a good time, you are 1 block away from the lake and enjoying your time relaxation in the sand.

Being setback 1 block from the main street allows you easy access to everything Lake Geneva has to offer and is surprisingly very quiet and relaxing.

Enjoy staying in an amazing location that is clean and well maintained without the exorbitated cleaning fees everyone else charges.

Ole Bistro Inn is located in the Historic District of beautiful downtown Lake Geneva. Unlike all the bland hotels you've stayed in, the Ole Bistro Inn is uniquely modeled after the charm, romance, and intimacy of an old Paris bistro. It is an atmosphere that will amaze you. The Bistro suite is great for couples, solo adventurers, and business travelers.

There are 3 suites at this location so be sure to check out all of them. If you have a larger gathering, rent multiple suites or the entire building!

Suite has access to both an outdoor balcony to enjoy the scenery and a downstairs patio if you prefer. You will love sitting on the balcony, relaxing, people watching, and enjoying the view.

Enjoy your rest on our new Verlo Plush double sided mattress, with new pillows, and new Simply Vera Wang sheets.

Our go-to place to stay in Lake Geneva
We spend long weekends in Lake Geneva several times a year and we almost always stay at the Ole Bistro Inn. The downtown location is great and the price is very reasonable for the accommodations provided.

Wonderful stay!
We loved our stay in the bistro suite! We actually stayed in the martini suite when we got engaged a few years ago, and we came back for a mini-honeymoon after we got married! It’s walking distance to downtown, has a covered second story balcony, and a terrific breakfast restaurant downstairs. Love this place!

Enjoyed our stay
Nicholas provides a great ambience in the Bistro Suite. The room was clean and stocked well with a kitchen ready for cooking in. My husband and I enjoyed having Great Eggs on the first floor to get a great breakfast in the morning. Nicholas communicates very well and we would be more than happy to stay there again in the future.

Another nice weekend at Ole Bistro Inn
We usually stay at the Bistro Suite when in Lake Geneva. It is our preferred suite / place to stay. No issues with checkin or checkout or with the suite itself. We will be back in the spring.

We loved the creative decorating and comfort throughout. Very clean, quiet and private. LOVED the fireplace!! The TV was huge and enjoyed. Very quaint! Convenient for walking to the lake, shopping or eating which means you don't need to pay for parking!!

Beautiful decor. Perfect location. Able to walk anywhere. It would have been nice to have flowers in the empty pots on the balcony. Previous visitors used the pots for ash tray. Would stay here again.

Bistro Suite Review
5 stars once again! This is our fifth time staying at Ole Bistro Inn and as always, it was fantastic. First time working with Nicholas. He was wonderful! Easy check in and check out. Lots of recommendations for local restaurants, bars and activities. Our suite was immaculate and stocked with everything we needed for the weekend. Highly recommend!

Weekend Getaway
We will definitely be coming back to stay here! Right on the edge of town, so we could walk everywhere, even the beach. The kitchen had all the basics we needed. Bed was clean and very comfy. The balcony is shared, but it’s so big that it didn’t matter. And a reserved parking spot in the back, so you don’t need to worry about finding one!
