At the heart of the former spa resort of Charbonnières-les-Bains,
not far from Lyon in a landscaped park, the Pavillon de la Rotonde
offers guests a unique experience where no attention to detail has
been spared.
This 5-star Relais & Châteaux establishment fully lives up to its ultraupmarket
reputation that has been rewarded with the highest
accolades from the industry.
An idyllic place to stay, Le Pavillon de la Rotonde also boasts a 900 m2
spa where guests can relax, and is home to the two-Michelin star
restaurant run by Philippe Gauvreau, an essential port of call in France’s
gourmet capital.
The emphasis is on the individual in this hotel which has eight
bedrooms and eight suites, offering the height of luxury and a unique
cachet in a modern interpretation of the 1930s style. All open out onto
spacious furnished terraces with stunning views of the surrounding
three-hectare park.
A majestic pool is kept at 27°C and is an open invitation to guests
wishing to lounge by the side of it, while contemplating the view from
the bay windows. Dedicated to well-being, the spa has beauty
treatment cabins, a shower with essential oils and solo or duo massage
rooms. Particular attention has been paid to the choice of beauty
products and there is also a hammam, sauna and fitness room with
Power Plate to help relieve your tension. In summer, an outdoor terrace
extends out into the park.
In 2009, Philippe Gauvreau, accompanied as always by Frédéric Fass
and Alain Gousse launched a new venture with the Restaurant Philippe
Gauvreau; a prestigious location where his talents have been given full
rein, already earning him two Michelin stars. Inventive and always
moving forward, Philippe Gauvreau’s cuisine exhibits a fine balance
between generosity and finesse, taste and constantly evolving colours.
Above all it is a cuisine imbued with freshness and sunshine influenced
by the many years he spent in the Mediterranean.
An address totally dedicated to pleasing all the senses.
