Hi! Having just returned from an intense and wonderful week at Chenot Palace, I would like to share my experience.
I hope you will enjoy it!

Chenot's Unparalleled Attention to Detail
As a luxury travel agent, I get a front-row view into the level of attention my customers receive. When I consider the concerns they raise to me every week, even in the best hotels, it sometimes feels as if empathy has taken a vacation, and carelessness often becomes the norm.
But actually, empathy has found a home at Chenot Palace Weggis! Joking aside, my experience there was truly above and beyond.
Chenot's team doesn't have it easy: most guests follow a strict diet with only 850 calories per day to detoxify and induce autophagy. This can unleash strong emotions—sometimes hunger, intense bodywork, or the overwhelming reconnection with oneself. Despite all of this, you feel supported and pampered throughout your stay, and I believe that is the true secret of Chenot's success.
Their programmes are, of course, absolutely wonderful. In fact, Chenot would not need such attention to detail to be successful. Yet their willingness to go the extra mile shines through every single aspect of the customer experience.
Interestingly, guests often ask each other, "How often do you come to Chenot?" or "When will you come back?". Many return to Chenot once or twice a year, both for the health benefits and the surreal level of service.
Chenot Palace is Wellness Wonderland
The Chenot Method is unique in many ways, and Chenot Palace Weggis is the best place to experience their programmes. Chenot is one of the front-runners in detox and anti-ageing research. While Advanced Detox is their flagship programme, they have also mastered burn-out recovery, sports performance, anti-ageing, and cell regeneration.
The spa is vast and ultra-modern, yet warm and intimate. State-of-the-art health technologies assist and enhance the benefits of the wellness programmes, without ever feeling impersonal.
The rooms and suites are spread across different buildings, each with its own elegant style and high luxury standards. While the lake view is a must, all views are good—there's no such thing as a bad room. Although they vary in size, all rooms are equally comfortable.
Within the luxurious property and the beauty of the surroundings, guests are enveloped in a cocoon of softness and kindness. I was highly impressed by the warmth and authenticity in each interaction, the impeccable cleanliness, and the professionalism of everyone.
I wish this level of perfection and attention to detail wasn't so rare. Congratulations to everyone at Chenot Palace Weggis!
Personalising the Experience
Whether you are coming alone, as a couple, or with a group of colleagues or friends, the programmes can be—and are—tailored to your needs while guiding you toward your best self.
During such an intense programme, unexpected things can happen: you may no longer want a particular treatment, or you might desire another one. Despite the highest levels of personalisation, everything remains simple. The timetables seem infinitely flexible, and the staff is always smiling and ready to listen.
Everything is done so that guests can truly let go and experience the reconnection between their body, mind, and soul.
Who Are the Guests at Chenot?
Many of you have asked: How are the other guests at Chenot?
During my stay, the other guests came from various nationalities and backgrounds, all of whom were friendly, authentic, and elegant:
A lovely New Yorker with a busy job who wanted to take some time for herself.
Several groups of senior executives aiming to get back into shape and start the year right.
A man who spent two weeks there to lose weight.
A French woman in her fifties taking care of herself and healing an emotional wound.
A beautiful 30-year-old woman looking to enhance her appearance with a few discreet appointments with the aesthetic doctor.
A personality from the fashion industry who came to detox.
A stay-at-home mom exploring wellbeing for the first time.
The common thread among all these guests was a deep desire to feel good and receive personalised care, supported by proven, advanced medical advice.
Optimising Health and Wellness
Some guests come to Chenot feeling unwell and wanting to take care of themselves. But most guests already feel quite well and seek to optimise their health and wellness—whether through a complete body check-up, de-stressing, delaying ageing, or getting into the best shape.
The Cuisine at Chenot
You know how important food is to me. Chef Ettore Moliteo's plant-based cuisine is a pure bliss. For those wondering, despite the strict diet most guests follow, Chenot doesn't let anyone starve!
A succession of delicious dishes puts calorie intake into perspective. The daily intake is discussed in detail during appointments with the nutritionist and the various medical doctors overseeing each stay.
As the body becomes lighter, the mind also begins to let go and accept this experience as something beneficial on many levels.
Feeling Rejuvenated
Despite my already healthy lifestyle, Chenot managed to make me feel two years younger in my "body age" after the Advanced Detox programme! The long-term benefits are very promising.
Soothing the body and mind while nurturing the eyes with the sparkling blue of Lake Lucerne, Chenot Palace Weggis is an incredible experience. It's a call to return to this unique and rejuvenating retreat again and again.
I hope you liked this insider review. If you have questions about Chenot, feel free to ask me.
Sending you lots of love and light, Victoire
