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.
