“Once the home of art deco glass designer René Lalique, the villa is now a 5-star hotel set amid dense forest. The six luxurious white-walled suites are finished with marble and crystal. The hotel's crown jewel, however, is its michelin two-star restaurant housed in a modern, glass-walled building.”

Hotel review

This traditional French villa was built in 1920 for acclaimed art deco glass designer René Lalique. Chairman of the Lalique brand in 2008 decided to transform this six-acre plot into a luxurious hotel for people to enjoy food, wine, nature, and the Lalique crystal brand. For Lalique lovers, it's a treat, with crystal ornaments scattered at every corner, and a dedicated museum just a couple minutes away. For foodies, this hotel and restaurant are a must-visit. The two-star Michelin restaurant serves luxurious fresh produce, such as gold caviar, in slick surrounds. Walls are glass, meaning panoramic views of Alsacian forest encircle diners. The wine cellar is magnificent, housing over 20,000 bottles from around the world! The hotel's design is contemporary and luxurious, thanks to the opulence of Green and Mingarelli design which opts for leather, crystal and silk. The restaurant is the main focus of this hotel, so a spa and pool are absent. However, the surrounding forest, nature reserves, and neighbouring historic towns beckon exploration.

Hotel insider: Villa René Lalique, France

“Better to seek beauty than flaunt luxury” was René Lalique’s design philosophy. For this art deco visionary, born in 1860 in a tiny Champagne hamlet, beauty chiefly meant “la femme, la faune et la flore”.
