Ritz-Carlton Hotel has signed an agreement with the Manz family in Switzerland to add Hotel de la Paix in Geneva as a partner hotel.
Located on the banks of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, Hotel de la Paix will join Ritz-Carlton in December.
Ritz-Carlton president Herve Humler said: "It is an honour to bring The Ritz-Carlton experience to Switzerland and to partner with the highly regarded Manz family.
"Geneva is an extremely desirable destination for travellers and we will now be able to offer a sensational travel experience to complement the full portfolio of Ritz-Carlton properties around the globe."
Established in 1865, the hotel will re-open as The Ritz Carlton at the end of 2016 after the completion of a renovation planned by the Manz family.
As part of the renovation programme, the number of hotel rooms will be reduced to 75 luxury accommodations that will feature modern suites.
