Summer with Michel Rebier Hospitality

With summer just around the corner, Michel Reybier Hospitality has unveiled a crop of new experiences designed for every style of warm-weather escape, from expert-led hiking journeys through the Swiss Alps and a Parisian sojourn that bottles French-girl beauty secrets to family-friendly excursions in Bordeaux and St. Tropez, and a London stay designed around the magic of the West End. Read on for dozen-plus ideas to get you dreaming.

London

Set within a Baroque-style, Grade II-listed former church in Bloomsbury, L’oscar London places guests within reach of some of the city’s most iconic neighborhoods and attractions, from the West End’s historic theaters to the elegant streets of Fitzrovia and Marylebone. This summer, a culture dose comes to the hotel’s doorstep through a partnership with Kinky Boots: The Musical at the London Coliseum. The package includes an overnight stay, performance tickets, and a pre-show themed menu. For a different kind of theater, guests can enjoy a Wimbledon-themed afternoon tea in the gilded, showstopping L’oscar Restaurant, where cocktails and bespoke confections channel the glamour of the tennis tournament (in London from June 29 to July 12). It’s worth planning your trip to coincide with the hotel’s new monthly “Cabaret & Cabernet” series that pairs wines from Bordeaux’s Château Cos d’Estournel vineyard with cabaret performances.

Zurich

Switzerland holds more than six percent of the continent’s freshwater reserves, with swimmable rivers running through all its major cities. In Zurich, a network of badis (public swimming areas) offers ample opportunity to partake in the country’s river-swimming culture without leaving the city limits. Guests of La Réserve Eden au Lac Zurich have privileged access to Seebad Utoquai, one of the city’s only remaining 19th century lake bathing houses, which rests on stilts over Lake Zurich, steps from the opera house, high-end restaurants, and luxury shops. The bathing pavilion’s wooden decks offer incredible city views and Uetliberg mountain, especially at sunset. Guests of the hotel receive complimentary entrance passes to the bathing venue, along with locks and swim bags with flip flops and a towel.

Paris

Set within a 19th-century mansion off the Champs-Élysées, La Réserve Paris exudes the elegance of the French capital. Arriving just in time for the city’s peak people-watching season, the spa is launching “Women in the City,” available as a stay package from mid-July onwards (or as a spa-day package year-round). The experience includes a Lagree-method strength session on a Microformer resistance machine, a Flora Lab hair treatment to revitalize the scalp and strengthen the hair fiber, and a TeslaMed Rejuvenating & Lifting Facial to stimulate cellular regeneration. Guests also get a personalized skin analysis with the Sensi Skin Analyzer to identify individual skincare needs. Plus: access to the hotel’s hammam, 16-meter indoor swimming pool, and fitness studio, outfitted with the latest equipment from Technogym, Woodway, and Lagree.

Victoria Jungfrau Grand Hotel & Spa: With commanding views of the Jungfrau, this Belle Époque resort is an ideal jumping-off point for outdoor adventures, but set time aside for the wellness and fitness offerings, specifically, the hotel’s 5,500-square-meter spa, complete with a vaulted indoor swimming and an outdoor saltwater pool.

For the best of both worlds, select one of three new Longevity Retreats:

• Summer Adventure Escape: A dynamic two-day retreat with adrenaline-fueled adventures, including paragliding over Interlaken and guided e-biking. Relaxation is taken just as seriously, with massages and spa therapies paired with menus tailored to personal nutritional goals.

Crans Ambassador Hotel & Spa: Commanding views of iconic Alpine peaks provide the backdrop of Crans Ambassador, a 150-year-old property known for destination-worthy dining and a plethora of hiking that starts practically at its front door. This summer, a duo of two-day retreats merges fitness training with expert-led activities:

• Alpine Performance Retreat: Designed for sports and outdoor enthusiasts, this retreat balances high-energy mountain days and precision recovery. Expect endurance training, top workouts, scenic Alpine trails, and personalized coaching.
• Alpine Regeneration Retreat: Perfect for slowing down and restoring balance, this itinerary includes outdoor movement, conscious breathing, Nescens treatments, and expert guidance to initiate a true physical and mental reset.

Mont Cervin Palace Zermatt: A grand European palace hotel, with prime Matterhorn views, Mont Cervin Palace has chateau-style interiors, three gourmet restaurants, and a fabulous spa with an indoor and outdoor swimming pool. Two new wellbeing retreats capitalize on expansive wellness offerings:

• Zermatt Deep Reset: Mountain hikes, muscle-repair massages, Qi Gong, and detoxifying menus are part of this four-day retreat that serves as a reset of the nervous system and vital functions.
• Zermatt Renewal Retreat: Between mountain hikes, targeted Nescens treatments, and individually tailored nutrition, this two-day retreat is a short but intensive break to oxygenate the body, activate the metabolism, and restore inner balance.

Hotel Monte Rosa Zermatt: This hotel (Zermatt’s oldest, dating to 1839), channels the glamor of yesteryear with a striking Belle Epoque dining room and just 26 rooms and 15 suites. As the birthplace of this region’s tourism, the property is also a fitting setting for uncovering Zermatt’s hidden stories via two new exclusive experiences:

• A Journey Through Time: This two-night-minimum package features a private village tour led by a local, complimentary admission to the Matterhorn Museum, and a treasure hunt through Monte Rosa’s most historic rooms and corridors. Also included is a daily breakfast buffet with regional specialties, and access to SpaNescens at Mont Cervin Palace or Schweizerhof Zermatt.
• NostalChic Journey: This package (two-night minimum) centers on an unforgettable trip to the majestic Gornergrat peak, located at more than 3,000 meters above sea level, aboard a nostalgic carriage from 1961.

Also included: a four-course lunch menu (with wine tasting) at Ristorante Al Bosco; access to Spa Nescens at Mont Cervin Palace; daily breakfast, and free admission to the Matterhorn Museum.

• Special Kids Programming: A dedicated summer program (this year running from July 6 through August 16) designed to spark the imagination of little guests, with creative workshops, cooking classes, sports (form tennis to judo), and nature discoveries. From 7-12 years.

In September 2026, La Réserve will unveil a new chapter in the Seychelles on the island of Praslin, set on its northeastern coast and facing the protected natural reserve of Curieuse Island and its marine park. The property will feature six private villas, discreetly nestled along a pristine, secluded white sand beach. Surrounded by the lush beauty and remarkable biodiversity of the archipelago, each villa will open onto generous outdoor living spaces bathed in natural light. Dedicated Maîtres de Maison attend to every detail, private chefs craft daily menus inspired by the island’s produce, and discreet housekeeping ensures a seamless rhythm of comfort and ease. A beach bar and a welcome pavilion complete the setting, managed with La Réserve’s signature sense of discretion and thoughtful service philosophy.
