The former Hilton Evian-les-Bains will be modernised before becoming a NYX Hotel by Leonardo Hotels in future
Berlin, 31 July 2026. Leonardo Hotels Central Europe will strengthen its presence in France when it takes over the former Hilton Evian-les-Bains on Lake Geneva with effect from 1 August 2026. The hotel will initially operate under the name of Hotel Evian-les-Bains by Leonardo Hotels and will undergo extensive renovations whilst remaining open for business.
It boasts 170 rooms and suites, many of which offer views of Lake Geneva or of the Alps. Facilities include a restaurant with a lakeside terrace, a bar, a heated outdoor pool, a gym and a health and beauty spa area. Conference rooms and an Executive Lounge provide additional amenities for events and business stays.
As part of the planned modernisation programme, the hotel will be incorporated into the company’s lifestyle brand as NYX Hotel Evian-les-Bains by Leonardo Hotels. This concept aims to deliver a contemporary hotel experience which brings together urban design, creativity and local art in a harmonious way.
Evian-les-Bains is situated at the foot of the French Alps directly on the shores of Lake Geneva and is a significant leisure and business destination. Both the town centre and a ferry connection to Lausanne can both be accessed on foot in a few minutes. The location remains attractive all year round thanks to its combination of lakeside and Alpine settings in the French-Swiss border region.
“The acquisition of the hotel in Evian-les-Bains represents a robust continuation of our growth strategy in France,” said Yoram Biton, Managing Director of Leonardo Hotels Central Europe. “This destination combines international appeal with year-round demand in both the leisure and business sectors and is a perfect fit for our European expansion strategy. We look forward to further and targeted development of the property via our NYX Hotels lifestyle brand and to offering guests a unique hotel experience in one of France’s most attractive regions.”
