THE WOODWARD GENEVA
Switzerland
Originally constructed in 1901 by French architect François Durel, The Woodward Geneva is undergoing a major restoration under the supervision of world-renowned interior designer Pierre-Yves Rochon and will open in September this year. Located on the shores of Lake Geneva, the hotel boasts views of the marina, and slightly further away, snow-capped Mont Blanc. While its historic facade remains, the 26 suites have been redesigned with plush, contemporary interiors – think cream sofas and marble fireplaces – to complement the views they offer. The Guerlain spa, where you’ll find a 21m indoor pool, two saunas, steam rooms Swedish baths and a jacuzzi, is also worth spending a rainy afternoon at.
