WELLNESS AND BEAUTY
This iconic hotel was built in 1909 and has
welcomed the most illustrious of guests:
sovereigns, aristocracy, artists and more re-
cently, some influential politicians. Its vaults
and rotundas decorated with soft country
frescoes sheltered the love of Sacha Guitry
and Yvonne Printemps, welcomed Greta
Garbo straight from Hollywood and Prince
Shah Aga Khan... They all took in the luxury
of its decor, the beauty of its location and
the calm of its landscape.
Reopened in the summer of 2015 after a
grand renovation, the Royal Evian received
a «Palace» distinction in 2016. Its «Les
Fresques» restaurant got its first Michelin
star last year honouring a refined and in-
ventive cuisine by Patrice Vander. Its most
unique dishes feature crayfish from Lake Ge-
neva seasoned with royal foie gras or freshly
seared, flour fried Arctic char served with
spelt of Sault. Its original desserts include a
famous hot soufflé with kirsch accompanied
by the most prestigious of wines.
The hotel’s bar is a must-see. A sumptuous
designer chandelier contributes to its chic
and timeless atmosphere. Similar interiors
are traced in the rooms with their natural
materials reflecting sober and soft tones.
Wood, stone and leather reinforce the ho-
tel’s «cocooning» spirit.
jets, conveying you an incredible feeling of
well-being.
To make it even more perfect, the manage-
ment has organized a «Yoga Season Experi-
ence», a special retreat which, throughout
the seasons, is reconnecting you with nature.
The sylvotherapy — «forest therapy» — goes
along the same lines. This is an immersion
into the heart of the forest, with its trees
rooted in the natural mineral water. A daily
hike will guide you through its landscapes
populated by spruce, oaks, fir and chestnut
trees. New sensations, thorough breath-
ing and meditation are guaranteed... This
is another way of taking a «forest bath».
The memory of water here, in Evian, reminds
us of a need to reconnect with nature for
a true sense of well-being. An energetic,
peaceful and revitalizing experience.
