Hôtel Royal

Hôtel Royal is a palace hotel in Aix-les-Bains constructed with reinforced concrete and white monumental facades. The building features landscaped gardens arranged in terraces that overlook Lake Bourget.

Built between 1913 and 1914 by architect Alfred Olivet, this palace shaped the town of Aix-les-Bains. In 1967 the building was converted to luxury apartments while keeping its original design intact.

The main dining room displays frescoes by Geneva-born painter Henri Fehr, showcasing the architectural refinement typical of the early 1900s. These artistic details help visitors understand how the space once served as a gathering place for guests seeking luxury and elegance.

The building is located at 31 rue Georges-Ier and provides private parking for visitors. The nearby Aix-les-Bains-Le Revard train station makes reaching the site straightforward by public transport.

This monument received historical protection status in 1987 and was a summer retreat for King George I of Greece. The king stayed here regularly during his visits to the spa town.
