About this program

Advanced Detox is the best-selling program of Chenot. It's probably the most famous detox protocol in the world. It is a 7 nights and 6 days program, with medical consultations, diagnostics, the famous Chenot phyto-mud wraps and hydro-jet treatments, hydro-aroma protocols and detox massages with cupping, which induce a deep cleansing. The program also includes targeted TCM bioenergetic treatments.

Guests following the Advanced Detox program feel lighter, stronger, and really rejuvenated. Their skin is glowing. Guests are smiling. This is thanks to a profound metabolic reset and improved energy at all levels.

It is ideal to follow this program once or twice a year. Of course, it is also highly recommended to integrate the lifestyle habits presented by the various Chenot practitioners during the program. Many clients find these healthy habits relatively easy to implement back home.

The details

Chenot Palace Weggis in full

The property, the method, the food, the place

The property

Chenot Palace Weggis is primarily known for being one of the world's best detox and wellness clinics. It is located in the beautiful and very chic small town of Weggis on the shores of Lake Lucerne. The area is called the "French Riviera" of Switzerland, because the climate is so nice all year round.

Chenot Palace Weggis is open all year round.

The Chenot Method

At Chenot, the programs follow the Chenot Method, a proprietary medical wellness system developed over nearly 50 years of research.

Henri Chenot designed the foundations of the Chenot Method in a clinic in Cannes in 1974, before continuing the research for many years in Merano (first shortly at Villa Eden, then at Palace Merano). Until finally, Chenot created its own facility, in Switzerland. Over the years, many professional athletes and celebrities have adopted the Chenot Method.

Most of the Chenot programs focus on resetting and rejuvenating the body at the cellular level through a holistic approach combining diagnostics, detox and preventive medicine. These programs include the famous Chenot Diet, which is a fasting-mimicking diet with around 850 calories per day.

Chenot also offers a next-generation medical check-up program, which includes some the most advanced diagnostics available to date, and truly insightful consultations focused on preventive health and longevity.

Chenot diet

The cuisine at Chenot is - of course - super healthy, but also really beautiful and delicious: it's a real pleasure to eat at Chenot Palace Weggis, although in relatively small quantities for the programs which focus on detox. The chef Ettore Moliteo has an incredible talent to make plant-based meals with detox food which are so amazing.

No caffeine or alcohol is served at Chenot Palace Weggis.

Chenot is famous for its food approach using detoxifying foods in relatively small quantities, providing fasting effects without actually fasting

Luxury facilities

Chenot Palace Weggis was opened in 2020, and is still in 2026 one of the most advanced, comfortable and cosy wellness clinics in the world. The rooms and suites are on the same level as the best luxury hotels of the world.

The 5000 sqm medical spa area is equipped with the latest medical and wellness equipment. The team of 100+ doctors, health professionals and wellness practitioners are each excellent in their area of expertise, and collaborate to look at each guest's health from a 360° standpoint.

Chenot Palace Weggis has a total of 97 keys, including 74 rooms and 23 suites. And the occupancy is usually quite high. But it does not feel too big, or too crowded, thanks to the unparalleled level of care of the teams.

Booking policy

Once a reservation offer for a stay at Chenot Palace Weggis is sent, Chenot requires a 100% prepayment for the program and accommodation, to confirm the booking. Prepayment is done in CHF. It can be done by card payment or by bank transfer. At check-out, if there are pending charges (additional treatments, etc.), Chenot also accepts payments in EUR, GBP and USD. On the day the invoice is issued, the respective daily exchange rate with CHF applies, and an additional processing fee is charged. Chenot Palace Weggis only takes guests who are following a Chenot program, and an overnight stay for any other purpose, or shorter than 7 nights, is not permitted. Most programs run 7 nights. Body Insights & Optimisation is the exception at 5 nights.

Cancellation policy

The reservation can be cancelled at no charge up to 14 days before arrival. For cancellations made 13 to 7 days before arrival, 75% of the total amount is credited towards a future stay and the remaining 25% is retained. For cancellations made 6 to 4 days before arrival, 50% of the total amount is credited towards a future stay and the remaining 50% is retained. For cancellations made less than 72 hours before arrival, the full value of the stay is charged. A late arrival, an early departure or a no show is charged at the full value of the confirmed booking. Credits must be used within 6 months of the original arrival date, are non transferable, and can only be used by the guest the original booking was made for. Dates of the future stay are subject to availability and blackout dates.

Kids policy

Children can stay at Chenot but the experience is designed specifically for guests participating in the Chenot program. Babies and children up to 10 years old are only accepted with a nanny, who looks after them at all times. Meals outside the Chenot detox diet are served in the room and charged separately. Children sleep free of charge in existing bedding, to a maximum of two people in the room, and an extra bed is compulsory for a third guest. A daily charge of CHF 150 applies from the age of 4. Alternatively, guests travelling with children can also find the Chenot programs in the Espace Chenot at L'Albereta in Italy, which offers a great kindergarden and kids club, or at Espace Chenot at the One&Only Portonovi in Montenegro.

Pets policy

Dogs are the only pets allowed, one per room, and small ones only, up to 30 cm at the shoulder. Guests with dogs are assigned specific Classic Rooms with direct meadow access and without carpets, on the first floor of La Grande Maison. A dog costs CHF 50 per day, excluding food. Dog walking is available at CHF 40 per day, up to three 15 minute walks, subject to availability. Dogs are kept on a leash in public areas. They are not allowed in the restaurant, the tea lounge, the spa and medical department, the treatment rooms, the pool area or the beach.

Questions guests ask

11 answers

Is Chenot a life-changing cure?

Apart from the "Body Insights & Optimisation" program, the programs at Chenot are meant to detox your body (and mind) in the most efficient manner: this, in itself, is not always a pleasant experience (headaches, sleep disruption, mood swings ...), although you feel much greater, and rejuvenated, after the program. A Chenot program is a radical anti-ageing cure, where you don't just get rid of toxins, but also of physical and emotional blockages. All the more than Chenot also optimised the Method to be able to offer this really in-depth detox in just 7 nights and 6 days. This is hard, to say the least. Most of the other equivalent detox programs which I have tested take 10 or 14 days in Europe (where guests are always in a rush) and 21 days in India and Asia. Offering such a profound detox in just 7 nights is incredibly efficient. For the guests who have more time, Chenot programs can be extended, up to 14 nights. Contact me if you wish to know more. So, Chenot is truly life-changing. It's one of the fastest ways to transition to a healthy lifestyle. But because it's so fast and efficient, don't be surprised if your week at Chenot also makes you "feel" how much you had to release all these years.

What sets Chenot Palace Weggis apart?

Compared to other clinics which also deliver the best preventive health and medical wellness programs, the quality of the guest experience at Chenot stands out. Having tested Chenot Palace Weggis myself several times, I believe this is essentially thanks to the teams, in particular the non-medical ones: the restaurant staff, the reception team, the house-keeping. Don't get me wrong, everything is really great at Chenot, I am just trying to emphasise that this level of care is unbelievable, in luxury wellness clinics but also in ultra luxury hospitality. Indeed the Chenot teams truly care for your well-being, and as a result, you truly feel pampered and supported during the good and less good moments of a detox program.

What are the prices like at Chenot Palace Weggis?

At Chenot, the prices are the same all year round. You have to sleep at Chenot. The rooms and the programs are priced separately. The starting price for Chenot corresponds to the Advanced Detox program (5500 CHF) with a Nest room (410 CHF / night) for 7 nights. Therefore the minimum budget for Chenot Palace Weggis is 8370 CHF. For this price, everything is included from when you check in, until when you check out. Some guests choose additional diagnostics and spa treatments (at an additional cost), but the Chenot programs are already optimised with plenty of consultations, treatments and activities. You can "optimise" the price by coming with your partner or a friend and share a room (double occupancy is possible for the Classic Room and higher categories): but remember that during such a deep detox program, you may prefer to be on your own, especially if this is your first detox. Booking with us ensures you get the best available rates (including time-limited / seasonal offers), our personal attention and support, as well as exclusive amenities: Complimentary facial treatment (190 CHF value) Complimentary skincare product (140 CHF value) For bookings in a Junior Suite or Suite: complimentary additional 160 CHF spa credit Recap of the Chenot program prices: Advanced Detox: 5500 CHF for 7 nights Body Insights & Optimisation: 6100 CHF for 5 nights Recover & Energise: 6400 CHF for 7 nights Prevention & Ageing Well: 7100 CHF for 7 nights Sleep Cycles: 7960 CHF for 7 nights Recap of the Chenot Room and Suite prices: Nest Room: 410 CHF per night (single occupancy only) Superior Room: 530 CHF per night (single occupancy only) Executive Room: 580 CHF per night (single occupancy only) Classic Room: 650 CHF per night Deluxe Room: 710 CHF per night Panorama Lake View Deluxe Room: 750 CHF per night Junior Suite: 950 CHF per night Suite: 990 CHF per night

What are the best alternatives to Chenot Palace Weggis?

There is no exact equivalent of Chenot Palace Weggis in the health wellness world. Some of the Chenot programs and treatments are available in other locations: Espace Chenot at L'Albereta in Italy, Espace Chenot at One&Only Portonovi in Montenegro, and Chenot Spa at Selman Marrakech in Morocco. However, Chenot clients tend to also love the following preventive health clinics, which offer programs and experiences with the same stellar standards: Clinique La Prairie (CLP) in Montreux offers a broader and deeper medical scope, as well as higher prices and more personalisation options. Yet, many clients hesitate between Chenot and CLP, and ask me for advice! VIVAMAYR Maria Wörth, which offers a slightly deeper medical scope, in particular with Mayr medicine (gut health and related conditions), and slightly simpler hospitality compared to Chenot Palace Weggis. The price point is also, generally, lower. ZEM Wellness Clinic in Altea: opened in 2025, more Mediterranean, and with more personalisation options as well. The alternatives to the Chenot Body Insights & Optimisation program (5 nights, 6100 CHF) are other ultra-advanced health check-ups, such as the Health Diagnostics program at Clinique La Prairie (3 days, 17680 CHF), the Life checkup at ZOĪ in Paris (full check-up in 1 day, 3600 EUR, results consultation 1 month after), the Evolve checkup at YEARS in Berlin (7100 EUR) or the Ultimate checkup (15900 EUR), as well as the Momentum or the Pinnacle checkups at Chi Longevity in Singapore (9550 and 18000 SGD respectively). Chi Longevity was founded by one of the most renowned longevity physician in the world: Dr Andrea Mayer

How much does Chenot Palace Weggis cost?

The most famous program of Chenot Palace Weggis is Advanced Detox. It costs 5500 CHF for 7 nights, without accommodation. The entry-level accommodation at Chenot Palace Weggis is the Nest Room, at 410 CHF per night, single occupancy. Therefore the starting price for Chenot is 8370 CHF.

Are meals included in the price?

Yes, all meals are included in the Chenot program prices. The meals follow the Chenot Diet, which is a fasting-mimicking diet, great to let the body get rid of toxins. Guests choosing the Body Insights & Optimisation program get double portions. Guests who estimate that the regular Chenot Diet is too low on calories for them can discuss with the nutritionist and request to also get double portions.

Are there hidden costs at Chenot Palace Weggis?

No hidden fees. However you can book optional extras like advanced epigenetic testing or additional treatments.

Do you make friends at Chenot?

Chenot is a very successful wellness clinic concept, so there are always many guests at the same time. But it's not overwhelming, quite the opposite: everyone is very chic and respectful of the other guests' privacy. There are so many treatments that most guests come for lunch wearing their bathrobe, and others wear yoga or fitness apparel. It creates a very welcoming atmosphere, because you see people how they really are, without the look of how they would normally dress. Dinner is more casual chic, but it's never show-off. Guests at Chenot are really friendly with each other, and highly supportive. It is easy to make new like-minded friends. Some guests choose to return to Chenot with friends they first met there during a previous stay. Moreover, Chenot Palace Weggis organises a complimentary apero once a week. It is alcohol-free, of course, but still a great opportunity to meet and discuss with other guests, as well as key members of the Chenot team.

Who is Chenot Palace Weggis best suited for?

Guests who want a strict detox protocol with proper medical support. The Chenot method is precise about food, treatments and rhythm. If you dislike structure, or want a stay shaped entirely around you, a resort like Bad Ragaz suits better.

How does Chenot Palace Weggis compare to Lanserhof?

Both run structured detox programs at the highest level, and they get there differently. Lanserhof follows Mayr medicine, so every program starts with gut health and is fully personalised. Detox comes as a side benefit rather than the goal. Chenot engineered the most advanced detox protocol and applies it rigorously, with treatments, hydrotherapy and TCM sessions. Both houses are upscale, and in both you make friends easily.

Can I pay for my stay at Chenot Palace Weggis in stablecoin?

Yes. Ask for your quote in USDT (TRC20) or USDC, the same way you would ask for it in euros or dollars. We settle your stay with Chenot Palace Weggis, and your booking at Chenot Palace Weggis is in your name.
