Chenot Palace Weggis Health Wellness Hotel is designed for human well-being. A stand-alone property, it sits at the edge of the village of Weggis, at the foot of the Swiss Alps on the gentle shores of Lake Lucerne, overlooking the spectacular peaks of Mount Rigi and Pilatus, in a region famed for its wellness offers. The striking beauty and sense of eternity one finds in this, the most historical and magical area of Switzerland calls for the continuation of the powerful attitude that seeks to preserve the past and relate it to the future. There is the energy here revealing how much the earth had to move and morph in order to give us this wonder. It is not difficult to imagine this place before human settlement.
