I DIDN'T WANT TO CONSTRUCT ANOTHER ART HOTEL, BUT WANTED EACH WORK TO HAVE A FUNCTION, A REASON FOR BEING THERE.

Our Story Six years ago, we started writing the story of The Magic Collection Retreats: a contemporary hospitality project that involves a family and many artist friends, all of whom have contributed to the renovation of interior spaces by creating structural elements such as floors, stairs, ceilings, and lighting. The family who envisioned the project love art, and believe it lies at the heart of their life. The first location, where it all began, is the village of Megève, a popular Alpine resort beloved by artists. It was one of Jean Cocteau’s favourite places, and remains the source of inspiration for many creative people who visit. Embodying the intention to preserve the artistic spirit, Francesco Vezzoli, while wandering in Magic Megève, decided to dedicate one of the rooms, the Saint Cocteau suite, to the beloved soul. Instead at the sister property Magic Megève Bois, you can fully immerse into the alpine world as traditional meets contemporary art chic. Since the beginning, our ethos in creating these spaces has focused on people: the artists, the local community, the guests, and our family members and friends. Life in these retreats takes place at a natural pace that respects local customs and traditions. Mia Rigo

SPIRITUALITY
On his face blossomed the serenity of knowledge, which no will opposes any longer, knowing perfection, in agreement with the flow of events, with the stream of life, full of compassion, full of sympathy, abandoned to the flow, belonging to unity. Hermann Hesse
