The Woodward, Auberge Collection

Never mind the Anglo name — the century-old Woodward stands on the shores of Lake Geneva, with views of Mont Blanc, and in its current incarnation features the work of architect and designer Pierre-Yves Rochon. In other words, a classic Geneva luxury hotel, and one that happens to be a sister to Le Bristol in Paris. It’s an all-suite hotel, and there are just 26 of them, each one somewhere between expansive and vast, and outfitted with the last word in contemporary luxury. The spa is by Guerlain, and the restaurants include Le Jardinier by Alain Verzeroli and the Two-MICHELIN-Star L’Atelier Robuchon.
