Lodging
Eurotel Victoria
We have reserved a block of rooms at a special discounted rate for Reunion attendees at the Eurotel Victoria Hotel on the route des Layeux, just a short walk from the school.
This four-star hotel has 165 rooms and a number of amenities: two restaurants, bar, pool, sauna, and an expert concierge staff. The Reunion Committee has blocked 50 rooms for the Reunion (until May 31, 2019, when they will be released). To reserve a room at the Reunion price, phone the hotel (+41 24 495 3131) or email them (villars@eurotel-victoria.ch) and mention Aiglon 70. You need to contact the hotel directly; the Aiglon discount is not available from online hotel booking sites.
Double rooms: CHF 210–270 per night
Singles: CHF 115–195 per night

Chalet Royalp Hôtel & Spa
The Chalet Royalp Hôtel & Spa, situated in the domaine de Rochegrise, is a five-star member of the Leading Hotels Group. It’s a short drive to the school.
FOAC president Sandro Corsini has remarked that he’s amazed how much the Royalp resembles Delaware House circa 1972—the rooms, the lobby, the spa, the appointments… the piano. Uncanny! Anyway, the Royalp has given us a discount from June 29 to July 2, 2019. Unfortunately, they cannot offer the Reunion discount on the Friday evening. When you book, be sure to mention “Aiglon 70 ans” (remember, that’s “septante ans”) to get the discounted price. As you’ll see below, the Royalp has a variety of rooms and suites available in a wide range of nightly rates. You should go to their website to see exactly what is available before you make your reservation: Here’s the link.
The discounted Reunion prices:
Superior room, 40 sqm, no terrace, park view: CHF 396 per night per room
Executive room, 40 sqm with terrace, park view: CHF 441 per night per room
Royalp executive room, 40 sqm, mountain view: CHF 486 per night per room
Junior suite, 55 sqm, park view: CHF 531 per night per room
Royalp Junior suite, 55 sqm, mountain view: CHF 639 per night per room

The Alpe Fleurie Hôtel & Résidence
The Alpe Fleurie is well known to Aiglonians. A three-star boutique hotel near the train station in Villars, its restaurant has been a favorite destination on parents’ weekends for years. Unfortunately, it’s almost completely booked for Reunion weekend—just a couple of single rooms remaining as of October 1. But the Alpe Fleurie has been a great friend of the school and its alumni over the years, so they get their space on our website. And it serves a cautionary purpose: book early or sleep in your car!

Hôtel Ecureuil
The Ecureuil is a three-star hotel in Villars with its own Japanese restaurant. If you like sushi, you should check it out. It offers free Wi-Fi, parking, and breakfasts. What it does not offer is an Aiglon Reunion discount. But it’s close to the school, on the Avenue Centrale.
As of early October, 2019 prices had not been posted on the hotel website. This past summer’s daily rates included a double for CHF 190 + taxes.
