I'm planning a trip to Geneva. Of course, I'll visit the Patek museum and arrange a tour guide. Can any of you help me with other questions:

Where to stay. I've heard the Mandarin is nice. Are there any other top quality hotels with more of a local ambiance that I should consider?

Where to eat? I really like fine dining. What are the best restaurants to visit in Geneva?

Other watch brands? I hate to admit it here, but I do also like other watch brands. Are there other factories or museums to visit in Geneva if you love watches?

After Geneva? I'll have a few days after my visit to Geneva before I fly home from Zurich. Any suggestions? I'm thinking about a few days at the Victoria Jungfrau Hotel?

Thank you!

The Mandarin is marvelous. It's one of the hotel that PP use for receiving their foreign customers
For dinning, if you like Indian food, you have the best Indian in Europe inside the hotel
Call Mathieu, the clef D'or concierge to check
For the PP museum, try to have a guide to visit. Ask for Marinela who is one the best guide and she speaks 4 languages
