The Woodward
Residential Parisian luxury meets Swiss precision. It feels more like a private mansion than a hotel — small by design, low-key in the lobby, serious in the spa and kitchen. Rochon's palette runs deep, jewel-toned and layered with bespoke textiles and Baccarat crystal.
Ask the concierge to arrange a private watchmaking museum tour — Patek Philippe's museum is excellent and close by, as is the Audemars Piguet museum
Why It Matters
Geneva's first all-suite hotel, holder of the Michelin Guide's three-Key distinction (the highest hotel honor), and home to the only two-Michelin-star restaurant in the city. The building's history — a 1901 hotel, then a private bank, now reimagined by one of the world's top luxury designers — gives it genuine character beyond the usual five-star formula.
Geneva's only all-suite hotel sits directly on Quai Wilson, its 1901 post-Haussmann façade looking out over Lake Geneva towards Mont Blanc. Architect Pierre-Yves Rochon — the same hand behind The Savoy in London and the George V in Paris — gutted the building (which had been a private bank for a time) and reimagined it as 26 individually designed suites with marble fireplaces, marquetry paneling, and handmade wallpaper. The dining program punches at the very top: L'Atelier Robuchon holds Geneva's only two Michelin stars, and the Guerlain Spa below features the longest indoor pool in the city.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Classic Suite
Steps up from the Junior with a partial or full lake view depending on floor and position. Each Classic Suite has its own distinct character — Rochon designed no two suites identically. Marble fireplace, marquetry paneling, walk-in dressing room. All drinks in the experience bar are complimentary except wine and champagne.
Deluxe Suite
Larger footprint with full lake views and the same signature Rochon vocabulary: bespoke bookcases, handmade wallpaper with azure tones, marble fireplace. Suites in this category can be connected with others to create multi-bedroom configurations.
Executive Suite
Generous proportions with sweeping lake views. Can be connected with the Royal Suite and the Deluxe Suite to create an expansive multi-bedroom residence. Full lake views, marble fireplace, and the hotel's signature layered interiors.
Junior Suite
The entry-level accommodation, and still a proper suite. City-facing rather than lake-facing, which is the trade-off. Sitting area, marble fireplace, the full Rochon treatment in terms of textiles and paneling. Complimentary soft drinks in the experience bar.
56 sqmPresidential Suite
Designed in elegant ivory tones with panoramic lake views from every room. Features a large wraparound living room with fireplace, a private dining room seating up to 10 guests, and a side-facing loggia spanning the full length of the living and dining area. The bedroom — accessed through a serene hallway and walk-through dressing room — is draped in royal blue Rubelli and Lelièvre tapestries. The bathroom is the largest in the hotel.
Royal Suite
The largest accommodation in the hotel, accessed via a private elevator. Designed to evoke a chic Parisian apartment. A 10-seat private dining room with marble fireplace and two lake-facing balconies opens to an expansive living room with two additional lake-facing balconies, a second fireplace, and a Baccarat crystal chandelier. Off the living room is a kitchenette with a separate entry. The bedroom — reached through a long walk-through dressing area — features a writing desk by Nicolas Aubagnac and immense marble en-suite bathroom.
