The venue is integrated into the architecture of the Fairmont Grand Hôtel Geneva, formerly known as the Kempinski.
The theater was designed to host large-scale corporate functions and private congresses in addition to public performances.

Théâtre du Léman is a large-scale performing arts venue located within the Fairmont Grand Hôtel Geneva complex. The theater features a seating capacity of approximately 1,200, making it one of the primary event spaces for major touring productions and concerts in the city. Its architecture emphasizes acoustic performance and clear sightlines, facilitating a wide range of programming including ballets, musicals, and comedy shows. The venue is privately managed and frequently hosts international touring acts alongside local cultural events. The space serves as a hub for Geneva's entertainment circuit due to its central location on the Quai du Mont-Blanc.

Program is subject to seasonal touring schedules; the venue often closes for private corporate events, so verify individual show dates.
Business casual or formal evening wear is standard, particularly for gala events or evening performances.
