In the heart of Geneva, a new chapter unfolds. The Woodward, a luxury hotel managed by Auberge Resorts Collection, is set to redefine opulence. Nestled on the shores of Lake Geneva, this all-suite hotel combines historic charm with modern elegance. It’s a sanctuary for those who seek both relaxation and culinary excellence.

The Woodward stands tall, a testament to Belle Époque architecture. Its façade whispers stories of a bygone era, while the interiors, designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon, breathe contemporary sophistication. With 26 suites, each uniquely designed, guests are treated to a personal retreat. Most suites offer breathtaking views of the lake and the majestic Alps. Imagine waking up to the soft lapping of water against the shore, sunlight streaming through large picture windows, illuminating marble fireplaces and intricate marquetry.

But The Woodward is more than just a pretty face. It’s a culinary haven. Home to Geneva's only two-Michelin-star restaurant, L'Atelier Robuchon, it promises a dining experience that transcends the ordinary. Here, culinary artistry meets innovative techniques. Guests can witness the magic unfold in an open kitchen, where each dish is a masterpiece. The ambiance is electric, the flavors unforgettable.

Le Jardinier, another gem within The Woodward, showcases the best of seasonal produce. Its greenhouse-inspired design blurs the lines between indoor and outdoor dining. Guests can savor dishes that celebrate the land's bounty, all while soaking in views of the lake. Dining here is not just a meal; it’s an experience that connects you to nature.

Wellness is at the forefront of The Woodward’s offerings. The Guerlain Spa spans two floors, a sanctuary dedicated to rejuvenation. With treatments crafted by the renowned Parisian brand, guests can indulge in holistic therapies that soothe the body and soul. The spa features six tranquil wellness suites, including one for couples, and boasts Geneva's longest indoor swimming pool. Imagine floating in water as you gaze at the serene surroundings, a perfect escape from the bustling world outside.

The Woodward is not just a hotel; it’s a vibrant social hub. Bar 37, with its stunning views of the Jet d'Eau, invites guests to unwind with a cocktail in hand. The Cigar Lounge, set in a former bank vault, offers a unique setting for those who appreciate fine cigars. The atmosphere is lively, yet intimate, making it the perfect spot for socializing or quiet reflection.

Auberge Resorts Collection is known for its commitment to creating unique experiences. The Woodward embraces this philosophy, offering guests a chance to explore Geneva like never before. From sailing on the lake to taking a watchmaking masterclass, every activity is designed to immerse guests in the local culture. Imagine crafting your own fragrance or sipping Lavaux's celebrated wines, each experience revealing a new facet of this enchanting city.

The Woodward also caters to those seeking exclusive venues for events. With versatile spaces, it’s an ideal destination for weddings, corporate gatherings, or private celebrations. Bar 37 can host intimate meetings, while the entire hotel can be reserved for larger events. The possibilities are endless, each occasion tailored to perfection.

As The Woodward prepares to welcome guests in February 2025, excitement is palpable. This luxury hotel is poised to become a cornerstone of Geneva’s hospitality scene. With its Michelin-starred dining, exquisite accommodations, and unparalleled service, it promises to be a beacon for discerning travelers.

Auberge Resorts Collection’s expansion into Europe is a strategic move.
