Hôtel Bernascon, Palace hotel in Aix-les-Bains, France.

Hôtel Bernascon is a palace hotel in Aix-les-Bains built between 1897 and 1900 with elaborate architectural details. The limestone building with slate roofing displays classical Belle Époque design features and occupies a prominent location in the city center.

Built between 1897 and 1900 for the Lyon architect Jules Pin, who also designed the Château de la Roche du Roi, the Hôtel Bernascon closed as a hotel in 1956 and was sold as co-owned apartments in 1960. It was partly listed as a monument historique on 24 April 1986, with a new inscription on 12 July 2021. A fire on the night of 17 to 18 August 2015 destroyed the upper floors, though over 80 firefighters saved the south wing.

The hotel was a gathering place for wealthy visitors who came to experience the thermal springs during the Belle Époque era. Its refined interiors reflected the luxury that guests expected during this flourishing period.

The former hotel stands in the centre of Aix-les-Bains, within walking distance of the town's thermal quarter. It is now a private apartment building, so the interior and the terraces are not open to visitors; the facade, the balustraded terrace and the arcade below can be seen from the street. The south wing survived the 2015 fire and remains in use.

The original entrance marquee was valuable enough to be registered as a historical monument, and it was removed for renovation just days before the major fire of 2015. This timely removal saved this architectural element from destruction.
