Set against the backdrop of a magnificent park on the shores of Lake Geneva, the Domaine Barton of the Geneva Graduate Institute, which includes the villa of the same name, an auditorium and four pavilions, offers an exceptional setting for any type of event.
Step into history as you explore the Domaine Barton. Originally known as Lammermoor, the estate was purchased by Sir Robert Peel, former British Prime Minister, in 1858. Later, his daughter Alexandra and her husband, Daniel F.P. Barton, made it their home. Mrs. Barton, affectionately dubbed the "Queen of Geneva," hosted dignitaries and diplomats, solidifying the villa's place in diplomatic lore. Today, the villa stands as a testament to its storied past, offering an elegant backdrop for your events.

Step onto the terrace and drink in the panoramic views of Lake Geneva, creating an unforgettable backdrop for your gatherings.
