Sleek and contemporary with a nod to Wisconsin tradition, the 146-room Lodge Geneva National offers a refreshed take on the Lake Geneva experience. Following Geneva National’s acquisition of The Ridge Hotel in July 2024, the property has entered an exciting new chapter—now reimagined to reflect our upscale yet welcoming club-lifestyle brand. The first wave of fully transformed guest rooms is complete, with the full room renovation debuting summer 2026, showcasing natural tones inspired by the surrounding landscape, elevated bathrooms, and subtle touches that bring the Geneva National golf-club atmosphere indoors.
Guests enjoy a tech-savvy lobby, Crafted Italia restaurant, and the energetic bean + vine coffee and wine bar. Outdoor enhancements include the new saltwater pool and cabana experience, plus the Deck Bar with its dramatic 12’ fire feature, lounge seating, and picturesque shoreline views. Parked along the wooded shores of Lake Como and just four miles from downtown Lake Geneva, Lodge Geneva National is the perfect base camp for lake adventures, championship golf, corporate retreats, weddings, group travel, and relaxed escapes—complete with an indoor pool, sauna, and 10,000 square feet of versatile event space.
History
Established in 1972.
Managed by Geneva National Resorts + Hotels since June 2011, The Ridge Hotel underwent a multimillion-dollar transformation in 2016 that modernized the lobby, check-in area, hallways, gift shop, and common-area restrooms while also introducing two new dining concepts. In 2012, the property saw enhancements to its banquet rooms, along with the addition of a lakeside veranda, fire feature, and wedding pavilion on its 90-acre grounds.
In July 2024, Geneva National acquired The Ridge Hotel, marking an exciting new chapter for the property. Now rebranded as Lodge Geneva National, the hotel is being thoughtfully transformed to reflect our upscale yet welcoming club-lifestyle brand. The first wave of fully reimagined guest rooms is complete, with the full room transformation debuting in summer 2026.
