Overlooking Lake Lucerne, framed by the Alps, Chenot Palace Weggis is designed for human well-being. Extending over 20’000 sqm, the project includes the renovation of existing hotel buildings and the addition of a new guest room block and a state-of-the-art medical spa. The sensitivity and restraint of the intervention lies in reacting discreetly to the surrounding nature. One of the aims was to preserve the appearance of the classic old hotel and to reinforce it by visually reducing the volume of new additions and the diversity of the architectural languages.
