Lake Leman forms a gentle arc in the border between France
and Switzerland, beginning with the city of Geneva in the west and ending at
the east at the town of Montreau.
About halfway between these two points, on
the southern arc of the lake, stands the historical resort town of
Evian-les-Bains, a favourite playground of royalty for the last two hundred
years. At the centre of this gracious city rises the great luxury resort, the
Hotel Royal Evian, a hotel that has been open for just over a hundred years. The
town itself is strung along the crystal clear waters of the lake, and the
famous Cachat springs are the source of the popular Evian mineral water. Those
travellers who enjoy bespoke touring will be glad to know that the world
renowned baths are still operating, and the grand Casino D’Evian lies on the
top of a lakeshore drive. Above them all stands the great Hotel Royal, with
eight stories of suites looking out over the beautiful blue waters of the lake.
A GRAND LOOK FROM THE GREAT DAYS
The Hotel Royal feature a newly refurbished façade, designed
in the Belle Epoque style. The resort now maintains 150 rooms and suites, and
your hosts will gladly relate stories of famous guests, such as Winston
Churchill, from the recent past, to any who wish to know more about the history
of the establishment. The rooms are divided into Park Side, overlooking the
extensive gardens, parks, and golf courses around the hotel, and Lake Side,
with a vista of the lake. The Hotel Royal is happy to welcome families to the
facility, and the Kids Resort is one of the Hotel’s most popular features,
where specialists in childcare will entertain and care for children of all
ages, from 4 months to fifteen years. Each age group has its own set of
facilities, and they are under the constant supervision of professional staff.
While the children enjoy themselves, you can enjoy a visit to the Hotel Royal’s
extensive contribution to the great spa traditions of the town, the Spa Evian
Source, in the centre of the resort.
THE MOUNTAINS, THE LAKE AND THE SPA
As befits a town that lies between Alpine mountains and a
clear blue lake, Evian-les-Bains offers the bespoken adventurer with countless
opportunities for exploration and fun. If you are visiting in the winter, the
hotel will quickly arrange for any skiing expeditions that you have in mind,
including dogsled rides in the nearby mountains. The Alpine peaks are also
wonderful places to explore in the summer, and the hotel offers bespoke tours
on horseback over the ridges and valleys of the region. In the warm weather,
boating cruises on the lake waters can be an excellent way to explore the local
area, and the resort can easily arrange any sort of water sports that you are
interested in. Some guests are always eager to try their luck at the great
casino, established in 1911, and the hotel will glad make a reservation there
for you. The town of Evian, which is always hosting excellent cultural
festivals of various types, features several excellent golf courses, and there
is even a helipad on the hotel grounds, allowing you to enjoy a bespoke aerial
ride across the entire region.
A GRAND EXPERIENCE IN FINE DINING
You can rest from your journeys around Evian-les-Bains at
the Hotel Royal’s excellent dining facilities, which have provided gourmet dining
to the crowned heads of Europe for decades. Dine in grand style at Les
Fresques, where the sommelier and chefs will offer you the finest food from the
farms and vineyards nearby, or enjoy lighter fare al fresco style at the newly
added La Veranda. Whatever you do in Evian-les-Bains, and wherever you go
during your stay there, you will be the treasured guests of one of the most
renowned luxury resorts in the world.
