Destination Geneva National Expands with Acquisition of The Ridge Hotel, Rebranding as Lodge Geneva National

Big news is making waves around Lake Como! Destination Geneva National is thrilled to announce the acquisition of the 90-acre Ridge Hotel property — a strategic move that not only expands our footprint but also further elevates the Geneva National experience. The rebranding process is already underway, and we’re proud to introduce the newly named Lodge Geneva National.
This exciting addition brings 146 guest rooms, a full-service marina, 20,000 square feet of flexible event space, and three distinctive dining outlets into the fold. With this acquisition, Destination GN now surrounds Lake Como on three sides and lies just a stone’s throw from Geneva Lake, creating a seamless connection between lake life and legendary golf.
“Our vision is to create an upscale-yet-approachable hospitality experience that reflects the iconic and award-winning Geneva National lifestyle,” says President Garth Chambers II, whose family has owned Geneva National since 1996. Renovation plans are already in motion, including a refreshed grand arrival, nautically inspired guest rooms, and lush, elevated landscaping – all designed to set the stage for unforgettable weddings, retreats, and getaways.
As Chief Operating Officer Glen Murray shares, “Lodge Geneva National will serve as the perfect basecamp for both lakefront leisure and on-course adventures. From three pristine lakes to 54 holes of championship golf, this is truly the most hospitable address in Lake Geneva.”
We’re also unveiling the Lodge Geneva National logo, a fresh new symbol of our identity. This thoughtfully designed emblem reflects the hotel’s architectural charm and GN’s signature golf experience, serving as a welcoming flag for visitors near and far.
From championship courses and luxurious lodging to innovative cuisine and lakeside recreation, Destination Geneva National continues to redefine the Midwest resort experience.
