Hôtel Restaurant Beau-rivage, Lakeside hotel and restaurant in Gérardmer, France
The Hôtel Restaurant Beau-rivage sits on the shore of Lake Gérardmer with 52 rooms and a ground-floor restaurant overlooking the water. The spaces are arranged so that views of the lake reach many parts of the building.
The house dates from a period when Gérardmer developed into a popular destination for travelers, and has since grown into a four-star hotel. This development reflects the region's tourism growth since the 19th century.
The chef brings influences from Reunion into the local Vosges kitchen, creating a blend of distant spices and regional products. The menu shows this connection clearly as you dine and recognize the different influences in each dish.
The restaurant maintains set hours that vary by day of the week, so it is worth checking ahead before visiting. Ground-floor access is easier, so guests with mobility needs can arrange their stay accordingly.
There is a separate lounge for cigars and spirits where you can still see the lake through large windows. It is a rare combination: you can take time for these pleasures while looking out at the water.
