Auberge du Père Bise - Jean Sulpice

This is one of those hotels where one immediately looks at the reviews to see how anyone could find any fault with this beautiful and yes, perfect hotel. The rooms are beautiful. the setting perfect, the staff could not possibly be more attentive and the services impeccable. Anyone who could review this hotel unfavorably is impossible to please.

Jean Sulpice and his team are a fitting succession to the famille Bise who created and built this lovely retreat and centre of excellence in hospitality and cuisine. Ouch has been changed but the best retained and the rest improved.

Excellent food. Deserves 3 stars. Service friendly and professional. Food exchange and light. Worth a visit.

The food is exemplary, the service is fantastic and the location is superb. This was our third visit and it keeps getting better.

Our overall experience at Auberge du Père Bise was exceptional—from check-in to check-out. Mahaut and her colleagues on the front-of-house team gave us a warm welcome (including a thorough room review and presentation of the praline gift - complements of the chef) and remained genuinely friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful throughout our entire stay. The bartenders (especially Thomas and a young man from India - regretfully did not get his name!) were festive, fun, and went above and beyond by helping us arrange a room-service champagne surprise to celebrate our friend's 60th birthday. After spending 6–7 days hiking the Tour du Mont Blanc, this was the perfect place to unwind. The hotel struck a wonderful balance: luxurious yet relaxed, refined without ever feeling pretentious. The food was incredibly fresh, thoughtful, and beautifully curated. We dined at Jean Sulpice and were absolutely blown away—not only by the cuisine but by the exceptional service. The staff's presentation was creative, engaging, and even witty, making the entire dining experience memorable from beginning to end. We were pleasantly surprised as we even were able to meet the chef during the cheese experience! We were so appreciative to have use of the spa after check out and that our luggage could be held until after our paragliding experience late that afternoon - the young man behind the desk showed his excitement for us as he has glided himself :) A HUGE thank you to Mahaut and Magali for assisting us with our Geneva transfer and luggage! Merci Beaucoup! Auberge du Père Bise provided the perfect finale to our adventure, and we would return without hesitation.

Such a wonderful location with perfect service, amazing food, excellent spa, great swimming on the lake and a peaceful ambiance. It feels like a secret escape, your own private resort. Well worth the trip with the addition of a bike ride around the lake, not to be missed and the Auberge even offers bikes to rent for the ride, all very well organized.

We had a fabulous few days staying on the lake. Very relaxing in such a peachy setting The staff were very helpful and the breakfasts and hotel facilities were superb.
