A fifth star in the lagoon

The fifth star is not yet engraved on the plaque at the entrance of the hotel but, judging by the smile on the faces of the staff of the Grand Hôtel du Lagon on Reunion Island, it is well and truly here.

This new star rewards a long-drawn out effort which began more than one year ago. Jewel of the hotel group Naiade on the island, the new 5-star hotel, entirely renovated less than a year ago, is situated in the resort of Saint-Gilles-les-Bains, just a few meters from the second hotel of the group on the island, the 3 star Hotel Le Récif. The main building of the hotel sets the tone from the moment one enters the hotel, with its colonial architecture while inside, dark wood and bright colours constrast. After the lobby, the impressive swimming pool and its slate covering captures the eye, the largest of the island. For the ultimate in relaxation, the lagoon promises long hours observing tropical fish. In the 174 guestrooms and suites, situated in Creole villas, dark chocolate and turquoise are the leading colours of the decoration. 

A business centre as well as different meeting rooms welcoming from 28 to 200 persons provide excellent facilities for the business traveller. Tuck in to a 'legine cari' typical Reunian dish, facing the lagoon, in the new Creole restaurant, the perfect place for local treats, or choose a more international cuisine served at the main restaurant, l’Odyssée, both of them can be entirely privatized. For a more gastronomic experience, L’Orangine will fulfil all your dreams with its upscale menu.
