What's New

Positioned perfectly on the shores of Lake Geneva to offer awe-inspiring views of majestic Mont Blanc, is The Woodward, part of the prestigious Oetker Collection, opened in 2021. The post-Haussmann-style hotel dating back to 1901 was meticulously transformed by world-renowned architect, Pierre-Yves Rochon and is the first suite-only hotel in the lively city. As Lake Geneva, the largest body of freshwater in both Switzerland and France, is right on The Woodward’s doorstep, visitors can enjoy countless water-based activities such as a brand-new bespoke private boat experience. One can soak in the beautiful sunsets surrounded by the famed Alps and the impressive Mont Blanc, admire the Jet d’Eau fountain, and venture further to reach Cologny, famed for its prestigious private villas. Further ashore, visitors can appreciate the glamour of a typical medieval village and experience the pristine waters of Yvoire, all in the luxury of a private boat charter. After being immersed in the astonishing views close to shore, passengers will cruise out toward Lake Geneva for a range of water sports activities including paddle boarding, kayaking, windsurfing and water skiing. The Woodward will offer the finest cuisine on-board, including canapés served with Champagne, wine, cocktails, beer and soft to accompany a sensational sunset, while light snacks are available throughout the voyage. After an activity-fuelled day, it’s back to retreat to the epitome of timeless elegance with a night’s stay in a Lake View Suite at The Woodward, to finish a truly unforgettable experience in style.

HOW: The Woodward’s Lake & The City package is priced at CHF 5,962 (currently approx. £5,097) and includes a Lake View Suite, four hours on a private boat charter, Canapés, light snacks, Champagne, wine, beer, cocktails and soft on-board and a 4pm late check-out.
