A selection of opulent suites will occupy the entire sixth floor of the Hotel Royal at Evian Resort when it re-opens its doors following a major multi-million Euro refurbishment in July 2014. Seven suites in total, ranging in size from the Junior Suite Rotonde which is 58 m2 up to the magnificent, Suite Royale which is an impressively spacious 207 m2 will occupy the sixth floor of the newly renovated hotel. Each suite offers an array of fineries, which include such luxuries as virgin lamb’s wool pillows and duvets, marble bathrooms and personalised welcome amenities. Many of the suites offer stunning panoramic views over Lake Geneva. Each of the suites have been expertly designed by celebrated designer François Champsaur, who is renowned for his ability to intelligently rework space, playing with light and volume, and compliments this with both elegant and contemporary furniture and fabrics. He is also notorious for simultaneously being able to develop two parallel activities: interior design and structural design.
