on the shores of Lake Lucerne, amid alpine slopes and mountains blurred by mist, stands a palace. not the kind of palace where the voices of tourists echo, but one where every breath is measured, every detail is thought through, and even the water in a glass has its own therapeutic logic.
this is Chenot Palace Weggis, Europe’s premier wellness retreat, where people come not to rest, but to restart.
Location
weggis is a small, quiet town in the canton of Lucerne. here there are no coffee shops buzzing, no museums calling – just air, lake and mountains.
The palace itself is spread out on a 20,000 m² private estate, with its own park and access to the water. every morning begins with the mirror of the lake, every evening with a silence you don’t want to disturb.
Rooms
at Chenot Palace Weggis are not just rooms, but personalized spaces for recovery:
Nest Room – from CHF 410 (~$450) per night. minimalism, wood, neutral colors, large windows.Executive Room – from CHF 560 (~$620). spacious room (48-56 m²) with king-size bed and marble bath.Classic Room – from CHF 650 (~$715). balcony or terrace overlooking the lake, perfect geometry of tranquility.Junior Suite – from CHF 950 (~$1,050). here is already a real apartment, with a terrace, its own relaxation area and massage room.Suite – from CHF 1,250 (~$1,375). for those who came not to “reboot” but to start anew.
Programs
Chenot is not a spa hotel, but a medical philosophy. everything is centered around the goal of cleansing, renewing, restarting. the programs last a minimum of 7 days and include medical examinations, special nutrition (850 kcal/day), therapies and massages.
Advanced Detox – from CHF 5,500 (~$6,000).
Recover & Energize – from CHF 6,400 (~$7,000).
Prevention & Ageing Well – from CHF 7,100 (~$7,800).
it’s not about “losing weight” or “taking a vacation”. it’s about cleansing cells and the mind, where cryotherapy, hydrotherapy, biochemical diagnostics and medical support work as a single mechanism.
Cuisine
there are no steaks or glasses of wine at dinner here. there is the Chenot diet, an intelligent cuisine developed by doctors and chefs.

The food is light, aesthetically pleasing, and perfectly balanced. each plate is part of the therapy without compromising the pleasure.
panna Cotta with Strawberry Coulis – $15green Pea Velouté with Pickled Radish – $24
Atmosphere
you get into a space where everything breathes slower. where people speak softly, move fluidly, and after a few days even your thoughts become clearer. is a place where luxury is not measured in gold, but in the level of tranquility.
For whom
Chenot Palace Weggis is for those who feel the need to not just “let go of fatigue”, but to start with a white sheet.
For executives, athletes, business owners who are used to keeping up with the rhythm but are losing contact with their own bodies.
For those who want to restore balance – without compromise.
as the New York Post wrote, “a week at Chenot starts at $10,000 – and is worth every franc.”
