Hotel Beau Séjour,
a history of hospitality… and family!
Hotel Beau Séjour has gone through the century since 1904, where each generation has made sure to preserve its soul and family atmosphere.
Creation and origin of the hotel
The hotel was created in 1904 by Marie-Louise Gruffaz, sister of the Gruffaz brothers, who were themselves hotel managers and founders of the Palace de Menthon.
A great cook, she purchased this farm to turn it into a guesthouse, and hosted tourists arriving from the lake by boat. She would welcome them and carry their belongings (trunks and baskets) to her hotel using a wheelbarrow. This wheelbarrow, in patois “baraute”, gave its name to the road leading from the hotel to the lake shore: “Chemin de la Baraudière”, still in use today.
At that time, tourists were large families who travelled with their personnel and stayed for 2 to 3 weeks.
The hotel through World War II
The following generation – that of our grandparents – ran the business with our grandfather as the cook. Full board being the norm, customers were served menus established in accordance with the seasons, with fixed hours (12:30 and 19:30).
During the Second World War, the hotel was requisitioned by the Navy. The hotel suffered important damages when they left and the family had to work to repair it.
Hotel modernisation and development of customer loyalty
From 1963 to 2002, our parents took over, this time with our father at the stove.
At the time, the hotel offered board and half-board. As the clientele was evolving, it was necessary to adapt to the preferences of everyone. It was during this period that many improvements were made to the hotel to satisfy this more demanding clientele.
Many families started visiting, from France but also from neighbouring countries. Some of them became loyal customers and their children still enjoy coming to this day.
Today’s generation
In 2002 we took over the hotel and are the 4th generation to carry on the tradition. We also bring our contribution to the hotel by taking advantage of the winter closure each year to renovate and improve the establishment and its comfort.
Based on this successful family hospitality that has lasted through the years, we are happy to introduce you to this exceptional and absolutely peaceful place.
