APRIL 2025
This year, Lavorel Hotels is celebrating a prestigious milestone: Le Chabichou marks 40 years of holding two Michelin stars. An exceptional journey that reflects the commitment, craftsmanship, and passion that define this remarkable establishment and its chef, Stéphane Buron.
A Commitment to Excellence

Trained with the best, from Cannes to the Élysée Palace and across the United States, he has built a culinary identity where precision brings out the best in every ingredient. “Simplicity is the art of perfection,” he often says, reflecting his philosophy: to focus on the essentials, highlight the authenticity of flavours, and create a unique experience for every guest.
A Cuisine Bridging Tradition and Japanese Influences
Rooted in the Savoy region, Stéphane Buron enriches his craft with a deep sensitivity drawn from Japanese culture. In every dish, you’ll find his pursuit of balance and purity: a profound respect for the ingredients, meticulous attention to detail, and a delicate harmony of flavours. At Le Chabichou, each meal is much more than just a menu; it is a gastronomic journey, a true sensory immersion, where every bite tells a story.
A Legacy Preserved and Looking Towards the Future
Meilleur Ouvrier de France in 2004 and winner of the First Prize Taittinger International, Stéphane Buron never stops innovating while staying true to the values that have made Le Chabichou renowned. His commitment goes beyond awards; it is reflected in his strong desire to pass on his knowledge. Working closely with his team and the young talents he nurtures, he continues the tradition of excellence that has made the restaurant shine for decades.
40 Years of Two Stars: A Source of Pride for Lavorel Hotels
Four decades after its first recognition, Le Chabichou still shines brightly among the stars of gastronomy. This recognition highlights the daily dedication of a chef and a team who, with passion and precision, continue to elevate the dining experience to the highest level.
A huge congratulations to Stéphane Buron and his entire team for their talent, dedication, and commitment.
Le Chabichou continues to write its story with the same ambition: to elevate excellence and emotion at the heart of the mountains.

Green Key International awards
JANVIER 2024
Our commitment to the environment has been rewarded with the Green Key Label
In our constant quest for excellence, we are proud to announce that our establishments Le Palace de Menthon, Le Marriott Lyon Cité Internationale, Le Grand Pavillon Chantilly ainsi que le Kopster Lyon et le Kopster Colombes have received the prestigious Green Key certification. For most of these establishments, the certification is a renewal.
what does Green Key certification mean?
Green Key is the first sustainable tourism label for tourist accommodation and restaurants. The criteria of the Clef Verte label require respect for nature and people, in particular by controlling water and energy consumption, managing waste in an environmentally-friendly way and promoting local players and assets.
Environmental actions taken
Our establishments implement various actions to limite their environmental impact. All waste is sorted and then recycled. As for bio-waste, it is collected to be recycled, in particular to naturally nourish the surrounding soil.
Our aim is to limit the use of products that are harmful to the planet and the use of plastic. In our rooms, all reception products are made from recycled and recyclable materials. We tend to offer our customers large refillable glass bottles to further limit the use of plastic.
We are working with Sapocycle, a non-profit organisation whose mission is to collect and recycle hotel soaps for humanitarian purposes. The aim is to transform this waste into a resource for vulnerable populations by giving them access to hygiene. The soaps are collected and transformed into new bars of soap by disabled people under strict bacteriological control, then distributed to children and families in need to improve their sanitary conditions. For a sustainable caring environment.
Every year, our hotels take part in Earth Hour, the biggest public campaign for the planet organised by the WWF ! Thousands of iconic monuments are symbolically plunged into darkness and millions of citizens are invited to carry out a positive activity for the planet. At our level, we are taking part in this event by switching off the lights in common areas and the illuminated signs in our establishments. A simple gesture to show our support for the protection of the home we all share: the planet.
Various initiatives to raise awareness of the need to preserve our resources have been introduced for our employees and customers. Our teams receive regular training to inform them of the right things to do on a daily basis, such as limiting water and electricity consumption, in order to move towards a more responsible future..
Our customers play an active part in this eco-responsible approach. Green books are available in our establishments to help them learn more about the fauna and flora around them. What’s more, the cleaning service for towels and sheets is not systematic, leaving it up to guests to decide whether they wish to take advantage of this service.
A long-term commitment
We are proud to be one of 1,564 companies in France to have been awarded the label. And we are committed to continuing to innovate and seek ever more effective ways of minimising our environmental impact.
By choosing to stay with us, our customers also contribute to this cause. We thank them for sharing our commitment to a greener, more sustainable future.
