Business Traveller has teamed up with Château Brachet to give one lucky winner and a guest the chance to win a two-night stay in a Junior Suite.
Located only 5 kilometres from the shores of Lake Bourget in French Savoy, this 4-star hotel is housed in a nicely restored historic residence, once the home of Lady Virginia Somers, Virginia Woolf’s great-aunt.
On top of your beautifully appointed Junior Suite, you shall find for your enjoyment: a privatised wellness area, a gastronomic restaurant, a solarium, a smoking lounge and a six- hectare landscaped park that includes an 18-metre-long outdoor swimming pool as well as a wide selection of outdoor games. These include: tennis, padel, pétanque, croquet, badminton and volleyball courts, a giant chessboard and, last but not least, an executive golf training area covering more than one hectare.
Staying at Château Brachet is not just about pampering your body and indulging in gastronomy, but a chance to travel back in history. The establishment is the ultimate homage to Dr Léon Brachet, whose untiring efforts to transform Aix-les- Bains into the queen of spa resorts at the end of the 19th century saw him mingle with the European aristocracy.
The acquisition of this building in 2010 was a case of love at first sight but also a major gamble for the current owners. They confide: “We had to wake up the sleeping beauty. Turning it into a hotel was a rather wild dream. This renovation, which we wanted as faithful as possible to the “soul” of the buildings, was magnified through the discovery of many history components around this residence and its owners /visitors.”
The goal was then for Château Brachet to embody the French art of living and to recreate the rather relaxed atmosphere of the age. Thus, to convey the power of attraction of Aix-les- Bains, where aristocrats, crowned heads, artists, and intellectuals – from the Austrian Empress “Sissi” to Sarah Bernhardt, not forgetting Queen Victoria, King George I and the thespian Coquelin brothers – all flocked to enjoy the thermal “seasons”. Modern comfort has not been forgotten however, as you will be provided with an array of well-selected amenities designed to make your stay as relaxing and reinvigorating as possible.
