A king-sized bed is perfectly placed to take advantage of the lake view. So too the whirlpool tub as it overlooks the living and bedroom areas. The tub even features a handy remote so you never have to leave. Dining takes place at Restaurant La Quintessence & Winebar located on the lower level of the hotel. Activities at the hotel include Spa Sans Sabot, offering a full menu of services in a contemporary yet casual setting.
