Chenot Palace Weggis
1st place: Since June 2020 in new splendor: In the idyllic vacation resort of Weggis at an altitude of 435 meters, the Chenot Palace Health Wellness Retreat offers an exclusive escape for all those who want to get to know the renowned Chenot Method®.
In addition to the main building in the Belle Epoque style, the hotel on the shores of picturesque Lake Lucerne has expanded to include a modern new wooden building. The charming, magnificent building dating back to the turn of the century and the new building with its futuristic architecture now house 97 elegantly furnished rooms and suites. Fine wooden floors and high-quality textiles create the perfect ambience and wonderfully comfortable beds provide a feeling of bliss with breathtaking views of the Swiss Alps.
The heart of the hotel is the 5,000 m² Medical Spa, equipped for diagnostic procedures and medical examination and treatment methods. The focus here is on prevention, detoxing and energizing. The traditional Chenot Method® - a holistic concept based on modern, scientific findings, with treatments individually tailored to guests. Henri Chenot, a Frenchman with Catalan roots, initially studied biology, but later focused on the fields of psychology, Chinese medicine and naturopathy. His revolutionary approach to medical wellness programs led to the development of his concept of biontology (the science of life) and, of course, the well-known Chenot Method®, which is based on restoring the balance of bodily functions and is used as the basis of the therapy offered in all Chenot centers. The Chenot nutrition program, selected treatments and the highest standards of technology complete the offer. The hotel offers three one-week programs that can be extended at any time: Advanced Detox, Recover & Energize and Prevention & Ageing Well. The first is the most essential and also the basis for the other programs. It focuses on deep cleansing and detoxification of the body to eliminate metabolic waste and toxins, heal damaged tissue and restore hormonal balance. The second program reduces stress, promotes restful sleep and recharges the body with new energy. The Chenot Method® is supplemented here by a clinically tested, patented method of neuroscientific technology. The third strengthens the body and increases its resilience to a challenging lifestyle. It is based on a proactive concept that uses clinically tested treatments to provide the body with health-promoting impulses to strengthen its self-healing powers, tissue structure and organ system. Also on offer: a Sleep Cycles module. This complements Recover & Energise and aims to optimize the circadian rhythm and chronotype of guests in order to improve sleep quality and regeneration.
Guests can also relax in the indoor pool, in the charming tea lounge, in the Japanese garden or on the private beach on the lakeshore. Various indoor and outdoor activities such as yoga, Pilates, hiking, cycling and more are also on offer.
There is also a non-detox programme with a focus on diagnostics and fitness performance: Body Insights & Optimization.
Dine in style in the elegant Chenot Palace Weggis restaurant with its high ceilings, sumptuous decor and views of Lake Lucerne. The diet plan is one of the integral components of the Chenot Method®. All dishes have been carefully developed to be in harmony with the medical treatments. This special diet effectively supports detoxification, revitalization and regeneration of the body. Guests can enjoy moments of relaxation in the tea lounge overlooking the lake and the hotel's well-tended park. Chenot herbal teas are made from dried flowers, leaves, roots, seeds and fruits that are carefully harvested at the right time to maximize their health-promoting effects.
The Chenot Palace is now going one big, almost revolutionary step further: the new "Molecular Lab for Optimal Living" prevents the premature ageing process at a molecular level. Using an epigenetic blood test based on mRNA, which is carried out in the Health Wellness Retreat's state-of-the-art molecular laboratory, the medically trained staff analyze the activity of genes. Indicators provide information about the health of the genetic material, the oxidative stress level and the hormonal balance of the guest.
