The Woodward
Geneva, Switzerland: Opening September 1st 2021
The Woodward is a new hotel on the shores of Lake Geneva, offering panoramic views of Mont Blanc. Originally built in 1901 by French architect François Durel, in a post-Haussmann style, the hotel is located on Quai Wilson and is currently being completely transformed and carefully reimagined by world-renowned architect Pierre-Yves Rochon creating Geneva’s first all-suite hotel.
Suites
The 26 suites of The Woodward have been carefully curated to possess their own distinct character and individual design details with signature flourishes including marble fireplaces and bookcases.
21 of the suites have a full lake view. The jewels in the crown are the Presidential Suite, designed in elegant ivory tones and offering panoramic lake views from every room with a private dining room and loggia, and the Royal Suite, reached by private lift and designed to resemble a chic Parisian apartment.
The Restaurants
World-class dining experiences will be provided by L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon and Le Jardinier, both recipients of Michelin stars for their New York outposts.
L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon
After 7 years as Executive Chef of L’Atelier in Taipei (1*), Chef Olivier Jean will be at the helm of the kitchens at The Woodward. L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon will feature the legendary chef’s open kitchen concept, creating a theatrical dining experience for 36 guests seated around the counter, as well as two dining rooms that can be privatised. After Paris, Tokyo, New York, Shanghai, Las Vegas and Miami, Geneva welcomes the first and only Swiss address for the French chef.
Le Jardinier
Le Jardinier, a play on the French word for ‘gardener’, by Michelin starred chef Alain Verzeroli, will be the restaurant’s first foray into Europe following the success of its outposts in New York and Miami. Rooted in classic French techniques, Chef Verzeroli, who has maintained for 11 consecutive years seven stars in the Michelin guide for Joël Robuchon's three restaurants in Tokyo, is renowned for creating innovative dishes where vegetables play a starring role, many of which are vegan, and dairy and gluten-free. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the concept of embracing nature will be reflected in the dining experience with the restaurant housed within two glass walled verandas overlooking the lake.
Spa & Wellness
The 1,200 square meter wellness area will include Le Spa Guerlain at The Woodward, a state-of-the-art gym, a 21-meter indoor swimming pool and an exclusive Wellness Institute.
