Elegant surroundings in an idyllic setting
The restaurant , La Table du Château , and its crowning glory , the sculptural “ ship ’ s hull ” frame , has been decorated using noble materials and finishes . The dominating colours are variations on the themes of celadon , beige , taupe and terra cotta in a range of textures and textiles . Panels of blond oak , a decorative fresco , comfortable benches , wing chairs and an eye-catching iron chandelier with its faux candles , furnish the space . The granite tables , made from Egyptian stone that required an old quarry to be exceptionally reopened , echo the anthracite cabochons of the travertine floor and the shades of the Belle Époque glass roof . But when the weather is clement , nothing compares to al fresco dining on La Broderie , the outdoor terrace seating 50 , to take in the exceptional panorama of the landscaped gardens and flowerbeds . The hidden gem worth discovering however is La Table du Jardinier . Located under the ‘ Gloriette ’, in the heart of the vegetable garden , it offers a gourmet and bucolic escape surrounded by greenery .
Restaurant open every day except Tuesdays and Wednesdays
A Victorian vibe and a subtle nod to spa culture !
Each category of rooms and suites ( from 18 to 55 m ²) is decorated in a unique style featuring luxurious details , harmonious colours , refined prints and noble materials . But each also boasts its own distinctive views , over the gardens , the solarium , the fishpond , the cross-shaped courtyard or the vineyards . While some open out onto terraces , those with sloping ceilings showcase the intricate framework .
All have one common denominator in that they capture the soul of this stately home back in its Victorian heyday , without skimping on the excellence of modern comfort ( top-of-the-range bedding , smart
gadgets , etc .) and a particular concern for sustainability and health ( wifi on / off , antiradiation rooms , choice of surfaces , etc .).
Finally , to pay tribute to the heritage of Aix-les-Bains , particular attention has been paid to the bathrooms . Laid out and furnished as havens of elegance , they have been designed as chic water rooms to be admired for their aesthetics . Most of them are equipped with comfortable bathtubs , in addition to spacious showers .
