Auberge Resorts Collection, a renowned name in luxury hospitality, is set to take the reins of The Woodward, a stunning lakeside hotel nestled in Geneva, Switzerland. This transition occurs on February 1, marking an exciting development for both the hotel and Auberge, as it represents the brand’s inaugural venture into the Swiss market. Originally established in 1901, The Woodward has a rich heritage and architectural elegance, which will now be complemented by the Auberge signature style of luxurious comfort and tailored experiences.
Exclusive Accommodations and Spectacular Views
Comprising 26 well-appointed rooms, The Woodward stands out with its exquisite offerings, where 21 rooms boast breathtaking views of the serene Lake Geneva. Among the highlights of the hotel is the opulent Royal Suite, an embodiment of luxury. This suite is uniquely designed with a private elevator, a grand dining room that accommodates ten guests, and four balconies overlooking the scenic lake. Such offerings not only elevate the guest experience but also solidify The Woodward’s status as a premier destination for discerning travelers seeking both luxury and exclusivity.
Beyond its stunning accommodations, The Woodward is aptly dubbed a culinary haven. It features L’Atelier Robuchon, a two-Michelin-star restaurant managed by esteemed Executive Chef Olivier Jean and Executive Pastry Chef Titouan Claudet. The commitment to exceptional dining doesn’t end there, as the property also houses Le Jardinier, an exquisite restaurant founded by Michelin-starred Chef Alain Verzeroli, showcasing seasonal ingredients with sophistication. Additionally, the Bar 37 piano lounge offers a chic atmosphere for guests to unwind, enhancing the hotel’s overall appeal as a culinary destination.
Emphasizing wellness, The Woodward encompasses a sprawling wellness area that stretches over two floors and nearly 13,000 square feet. At the heart of this area is the Guerlain Spa, designed to offer guests a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation. With six treatment suites, an indoor swimming pool, and dedicated fitness and hydrotherapy spaces, The Woodward is not just a place to stay, but a location where guests can prioritize their well-being amidst the hustle of modern life.
The addition of The Woodward comes amid a broader strategy of expansion across Europe for Auberge Resorts Collection. Following the opening of Collegio alla Querce in Florence, Italy, scheduled for March, and the upcoming Cambridge House in London’s upscale Mayfair district slated for late next year, Auberge is poised to capture the attention of luxury travelers throughout the continent. This remarkable growth signifies the brand’s ambition to redefine luxury hospitality, promising unique experiences in some of Europe’s most enchanting locations.
The management takeover of The Woodward by Auberge Resorts marks an auspicious beginning for this iconic hotel, with a commitment to melding its rich history with modern luxury and exceptional service. As it opens its doors under new management, guests can look forward to unforgettable experiences in one of Europe’s most captivating cities.
