Switzerland’s most distinguished luxury hotel and culinary destination, The Woodward, has become part of Auberge Resorts Collection’s acclaimed portfolio of bespoke hotels, resorts, and residences. Selected by The Bastion Collection to manage this iconic lakeside retreat, Auberge Resorts Collection will officially take the helm on February 1, 2025. This milestone marks the brand’s first property in Switzerland and a significant step in its European expansion, following the upcoming debut of Collegio alla Querce in Florence this March and Cambridge House in Mayfair, London, later in 2025.

“The privilege of welcoming The Woodward into the Auberge family as our inaugural Swiss property is particularly significant for me as a Swiss national,” said Christian Clerc, President and CEO of Auberge Resorts Collection. “Having grown up in Montreux just one hour from Geneva, it is a place very close to my heart. I am immensely proud and excited to be adding Geneva’s finest hotel to our collection.”

A Jewel on Lake Geneva’s Shores

Nestled along Lake Geneva’s most sought-after location, The Woodward is a masterpiece of contemporary elegance, featuring Pierre-Yves Rochon’s exquisite interiors, a two-story wellness sanctuary at The Guerlain Spa, and 26 uniquely designed suites—most boasting panoramic views of the lake and the Alps. The hotel seamlessly transitions from an intimate retreat to an exclusive social hub, housing Geneva’s only Two Michelin Star restaurant, L’Atelier Robuchon, alongside Le Jardinier and Bar 37, curated by The Bastion Collection.

A Legacy of Architectural Grandeur

Blending post-Haussmann architectural splendor with the tranquility of private residential living, The Woodward offers an unparalleled level of exclusivity. Just 26 suites, including 21 with breathtaking lake views, are individually designed to reflect their own distinct personalities. Pierre-Yves Rochon’s interiors embrace Geneva’s natural beauty, with large picture windows, marble fireplaces, marquetry paneling, and handmade wallpapers mirroring the hues of the lake. The Royal Suite, the hotel’s largest, features a 10-seat dining room, four lake-facing balconies, and a private elevator, embodying the pinnacle of refined living.

Culinary Excellence: Michelin-Starred Mastery

As part of The Bastion Collection, The Woodward’s award-winning dining scene attracts gastronomes from across the globe. L’Atelier Robuchon, Geneva’s only Two Michelin Star restaurant, delivers an immersive dining experience where innovative techniques meet culinary artistry. Led by Executive Chef Olivier Jean and Executive Pastry Chef Titouan Claudet—recently honored as Pastry Chef of the Year 2025 by Gault & Millau—the restaurant offers a 36-seat open counter where guests can witness the magic of Joël Robuchon’s legacy unfold.

Le Jardinier, the first European outpost of Michelin-starred Chef Alain Verzeroli’s celebrated concept, brings a produce-driven, greenhouse-inspired dining experience to Geneva. Overlooking the marina and Lake Geneva, it serves seasonal, nature-infused flavors, guided by Chef Olivier Jean’s culinary expertise.

Beyond the hotel’s signature restaurants, guests can enjoy Bar 37, a piano and cocktail lounge with Jet d’Eau views, a Cigar Lounge housed in a former bank vault, and Le Comptoir Woodward, an offsite café and patisserie nestled in Geneva’s Old Town.

A Sanctuary of Wellbeing: The Guerlain Spa

Spanning 1,200 square meters (12,920 square feet) across two floors, The Guerlain Spa at The Woodward is a haven of serenity. Guests can indulge in Guerlain’s renowned treatments within six private wellness suites, including a couples’ suite, while Geneva’s longest indoor pool (21 meters/68 feet), a state-of-the-art fitness center, and hydrotherapy facilities offer the ultimate rejuvenation. Club Woodward members enjoy year-round access and exclusive benefits.

Curated Experiences & Bespoke Adventures

True to Auberge Resorts Collection’s ethos, The Woodward curates one-of-a-kind experiences inspired by Geneva’s elegance and natural beauty. Guests can sail Lake Geneva, sip UNESCO-listed Lavaux wines, join a Swiss watchmaking masterclass, or craft their own signature fragrance, unlocking exclusive access to the city’s best-kept secrets.

Geneva’s Premier Events Destination

With its world-class gastronomy, breathtaking lakefront setting, and unparalleled service, The Woodward is Geneva’s most sought-after events destination. From private gatherings at Bar 37’s salon to exclusive restaurant buyouts and full-hotel reservations for weddings or high-profile events, the hotel offers limitless possibilities for bespoke celebrations.

As Auberge Resorts Collection takes the helm, The Woodward reaffirms its standing as Geneva’s most exclusive luxury hotel, promising elevated experiences, Michelin-starred dining, and an unparalleled sense of place on the shores of Lake Geneva.
