Dream Team of our Swiss 3 star hotel in Champery
Since its construction and official opening in 1916, each generation of owners and employees at Le Beau-Séjour has left its mark, its know-how and its heart on this century-old establishment.
Today, a small team of 9-12 people look after this old building.
This charming hotel has managed to keep a regular team over the years.
A loyal staff that makes up a team
Our chambermaids take care of you every day, preparing your room before you arrive, cleaning it when you go back to bed, and taking care of all the common areas.
Our reception, breakfast and restaurant staff are there to welcome you, keep you informed and put themselves at your service every day to make your stay a pleasant one.

Philippe and Sophie make you feel right at home.
For them, a family structure also means team spirit, a family spirit, where everyone helps each other to achieve the desired result, i.e. customer satisfaction and well-being.
To know a little more about each one:
 |
Sophie A smile above all. Sophie is in charge of the front and back office as well as the administration. Good humour and organisation, spontaneity and responsiveness, she is everywhere - she is the Wonder Woman of the team. |
 |
Philippe External representative, Mr Marketing, PR, big project manager and hotel MacGyver, he also manages all the technological aspects of our business - make an appointment if you want to be sure to catch him on the fly!! |
Sophie and Philippe met at the Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne, where they began training in the hotel business, and then held various positions in the field in Madagascar, France and Switzerland. They took over the Beau-Séjour hotel in September 2010.
They share a passion for the hospitality business, and dreamed of one day putting their skills to work in their own establishment.
Since 2010, they have developed the hotel by adding a restaurant, additional rooms and a Spa, and now have a complete object. To this have been added 3 blond heads: Louis, Valentin, and then Robin.
In addition to the many responsibilities that are part and parcel of running the hotel, Sophie and Philippe obviously share a few ancillary tasks, and the diversity of the job is the reason why they are so attached to it.
A non-linear professional curriculum
A non-linear professional curriculum
The accumulation of varied experiences has been the foundation of their careers.
After their hotel studies, Sophie began a second degree in interior design, with the aim, later, of having her own establishment and doing with it what she wants. After a career in events, Sophie returned to work at the Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne (EHL) where she met Philippe who finished her studies.
Upon returning from an internship in a Lodge, Philippe is offered a position as General Manager at Madagascar or the beginning of his career; a turning point that will confirm his desire to break into the field of small hotels. Sophie then joined him and took up her position as Director of Accommodation and SPA.
Arrival in Champéry and implementation of the concept
After this enriching experience, returning to Switzerland, their entrepreneurial spirit quickly encouraged them to look for their own establishment. It is from the hands of former EHL alumni that they take back by chance in Champéry the object of their dreams on October 1, 2010!
In addition to the many responsibilities that are part of management, Sophie, Philippe and Arnaud obviously share some additional tasks. Sophie makes herself a pastry chef and makes macaroons, pies and fun muffins that feed the hotel’s “Tea-Time”. For his part, Philippe shows his talents as a handyman and computer scientist. Arnaud, for his part, gives us the benefit of his analytical and creative spirit and has become a “technical jacuzzi chef”! The diversity of the profession is the reason why all three of them are committed to it.
