An Exceptional Evening to Celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Villa René Lalique
An Exceptional Evening to Celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Villa René Lalique
Friday, September 19, 2025
Ten years ago, Villa René Lalique was born — a haven of crystal and haute cuisine in the heart of the Northern Vosges. A decade marked by creativity, meaningful encounters, and shared emotions that have shaped the unique soul of the house.
To celebrate this milestone, we invite you to a truly exclusive evening — a tribute to excellence, friendship, and the history of Villa René Lalique.
The festivities will begin at 7:00 PM on the forecourt of the Villa, with a signature amuse-bouche and a glass of champagne. A refined welcome before stepping into the vaulted cellar — affectionately known as the “Cathedral” — the treasured domain of Head Sommelier Romain Iltis and Wine Director of Lalique Group.
Dinner, created especially for the occasion, will be orchestrated by Chef Paul Stradner, Pastry Chef Jonathan Bunel, and their respective teams. They will be joined by Chef Jérôme Schilling, Meilleur Ouvrier de France and former Executive Chef of Villa René Lalique, now at the helm of the 2 star Restaurant Lalique at Château Lafaurie-Peyraguey in Bommes (Sauternes) — another emblematic address within the Lalique Hospitality collection.
Together, the three chefs will unite their creativity to craft a six-course menu, paying homage to the history and excellence of the Villa.
A timeless evening to honor those who have shaped the story of Villa René Lalique over the past ten years… and to begin writing the next chapter, one firmly focused on the excellence to come.

About Villa René Lalique:
The Villa built by René Lalique in 1920 has reinvented itself since September 2015. Under the direction of Silvio Denz, Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors of Lalique Group, it has been transformed into a five-star hotel with a gourmet restaurant that was awarded two MICHELIN stars in January 2016, little more than three months after its opening. Since January 2019, the Villa has been a member of the prestigious gastronomic association Les Grandes Tables du Monde.
In 2020, Paul Stradner, who had been Executive Chef since 2017 at Villa René Lalique under Jean-Georges Klein, took on the role of Head Chef. At the helm of the restaurant, designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta, he leads a brigade of around fifteen chefs. At his side is Pastry Chef Jonathan Bunel, who heads a team of four pastry chefs and takes inspiration for his desserts from the products found in the heart of the Vosges du Nord, using a creative, modern approach. The pairing of food and wine is overseen by Head Sommelier Romain Iltis, who manages an exceptional wine cellar containing no less than 60,000 bottles. Hervé Schmitt, the Restaurant Manager, orchestrates the choreography of the service personnel and sets the stage with Lalique table settings. A showcase for Lalique’s craftsmanship and flair, Villa René Lalique is a true embodiment of the French Art of Living.
