Spa

Intentionally simple and calm.

Seijaku is a quiet place to slow down and take a break from the pace of the day. Inspired by Japanese ideas of calm and balance, it offers a sauna, steam bath, and cold plunge pool, as well as a relaxation area with a fireplace. Massages and treatments are available for moments when deeper rest is needed. The atmosphere is intentionally simple and calm, giving you the space to unwind and reset in your own way.
Restaurant + Bar

Bold flavors and a modern spirit.

Dining at Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois is shaped by three distinct culinary concepts. Cheval Blanc by Peter Knogl represents the pinnacle of fine dining, offering precise, modern French cuisine and ranked among the world’s best restaurants. The Brasserie Les Trois Rois serves refined Swiss and French classics in an elegant yet relaxed setting throughout the day. Banks completes the offering with a contemporary European-Asian-inspired sharing concept, defined by bold flavors, a lively atmosphere and a modern spirit.

Bar Les Trois Rois is where character meets charm, a place where locals and hotel guests come together, and bartenders don’t just mix drinks, but craft small masterpieces in a glass. Under the direction of award-winning bartender Thomas Huhn, cocktails are created with precision, creativity, and a sense of ease. Stepping inside is more than entering a bar; it is entering a world of stylish calm and understated elegance.
