Spa Profile: Guerlain Spa at The Woodward Geneva

The Woodward Geneva is located on the lakefront with stunning views of the water and French Alps.

Set along the stunning lakefront in Geneva, Switzerland, The Woodward Geneva is an Oetker Collection property that is located in a post-Haussmann style building that was built in 1901. The elegant property features a beautiful interior that has been reimagined by architect Pierre-Yves Rochon and is the first all-suite hotel in Geneva with 26 luxurious accommodations that have been carefully curated with each suite showcasing its own distinct character and design details such as marble fireplaces and bookcases.

In addition to several world-class restaurants that include the Michelin-starred L’Atelier Robuchon and Le Jardinier helmed by Michelin-starred Chef Alain Verzeroli, guests can relax and recharge at Guerlain Spa at The Woodward Geneva, a tranquil and luxurious wellness oasis. The spa features elegant decor along with six private treatment rooms, including a couples suite.

Insider’s Tip: My tip would be to take care of yourself first and you'll then take better care of those around you. A good routine is the key to your happiness.

Guests can also enjoy Swedish bath experiences before and after their services.

Bonus: Our guests are offered complimentary F&B amenities that are served on a tray including fresh fruits, macarons, pavlovas, and tailor-made drinks such as hot or cold tea and fresh juices.

Splurge Treatment: I recommend the Ultimate Black Orchid Age Reverse treatment. This masterpiece of Guerlain treatments is a rare and precious luxury where the symbiosis of gestures and the power of Black Orchid work together to support the skin's self-preservation mechanisms. It is the ultimate talisman for preserving and prolonging youth, resulting in skin that glows with health and flawlessness.

The spa also offers two hammams and a snow shower with an ice bucket.

Unique Treatment: Our Spirit of Lake Geneva is our most unique. Specially designed for The Woodward, this experience inspired by the tranquility of Lake Geneva promises to renew and indulge the senses. Guerlain has created a perfect blend of harmony and sensoriality for ultimate relaxation. Enveloped in freshness and calm, the body feels lighter, deeply soothed, and fully reenergized. The absolutely unmissable Geneva wellness experience.

Guerlain Spa has six private treatment rooms including a double room for couples.

Insider’s Favorite: All of our facials, and the tailor-made treatment! We start with a blank page that takes shape around real needs. We ask, “How does one feel today, what does one expect from the treatment, what are the desires and priorities?” then we design a custom treatment for each and every client.
