A week at Chenot Palace Weggis starts with a number: a vitality score, which the hotel describes as an indication of your current rate of biological ageing. It comes from the Chenot Lifestyle Biomarkers® screening, which measures vascular age, minerals and heavy metals, advanced glycation end products and the thickness of the skin’s collagen. The doctor then builds the week’s treatments on the results.
Everything else follows from those findings: consultations with a doctor and a dietician, daily treatments in the spa and the plant-based Chenot Diet.
On Lake Lucerne
What is Chenot Palace Weggis?
The hotel is in Weggis, on the shore of Lake Lucerne, facing the Rigi and Pilatus. A palace from the turn of the last century is joined here to a contemporary new building. There are 97 rooms and suites, gardens and a private beach where guests swim in every season. The hotel calls itself the home of the Chenot Method®.
You can stay at the hotel only on a Chenot programme. It is chosen in advance, before you arrive, and after the first consultation the doctor may suggest changes to it.
Spa and rejuvenation
What the Chenot spa offers
The medical spa covers 5,000 sqm, and the hotel’s team includes more than a hundred medical wellness specialists. In the hotel’s description, it combines precision medicine with traditional Chinese medicine. It has a metabolic and sports laboratory, a whole-body cryochamber at −110 °C, antigravity technologies and an altitude chamber that simulates up to 3,000 metres.
In every detox programme
The signature Chenot hydro-energetic sequence has three steps. First a hydro massage in water with Chenot Elixirs of essential oils, then a wrap of white and green clay with minerals and microalgae, and finally a cooling pressure jet.
Beyond the programme treatments, the spa offers three more areas.
- Face and body. The Chenot signature facial, a cupping facial and massages based on traditional Chinese medicine.
- Medical aesthetics. Non-surgical treatments aimed at a natural look: focused-ultrasound and radiofrequency skin lifting, platelet-rich plasma and hyaluronic acid. The aesthetic doctor prescribes them after an assessment.
- Pool and fitness. A 20-metre indoor pool, a hammam, a sauna, a Technogym gym and a yoga studio.

It opens to the public only for ticketed events run by the Serge Rachmaninoff Foundation, and its park closes after 31 October. On Saturday 31 October, at 13:15 or 16:15, the foundation holds a musical introduction to the three Zurich operas in English, with the key arias sung live.
If 31 October does not work
The next public tour is on 29 November, in German, and the foundation arranges private visits on request. Tickets are sold on the foundation’s website.
