Experimental Group has announced details of three European hotel projects in the pipeline, in Val d’Isère, Rome and Paris. 

Currently slated for opening in winter 2024, Aigle des Neiges is a 110-room hotel in the heart of the village of Val d’Isère, designed by Dorothée Meilichzon. Positioned at an altitude of 1850m, the new opening will also comprise two restaurants, a bar, swimming pool and spa. 

“After the success of Experimental Châlet Verbier, we wanted a property in the French Alps,” says Pierre-Charles Cros, co-founder of Experimental Group. “Our search was for something very close to the slopes, yet at the same time in the centre of the resort which has an incredible ambiance – we found the ideal location for the Experimental Châlet Val d’Isère.”

The group has also signed a management contract with Foncière Saint Honoré to launch a new 43-room hotel in Paris in 2025. Located in the heart of the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district in the seventh arrondissement, the hotel will be designed by Studio KO, and will comprise 20 rooms and 23 suites, a restaurant, two bars, a spa and an indoor swimming pool.  

Experimental Group’s entry into Rome – also set for 2025 – will see the transformation of an office building into a 78-key hotel, with design led by Rodolphe Parente. The property will offer a range of additional amenities, including a restaurant under a glass roof, an Experimental Cocktail Club Roma bar, and a rooftop swimming pool overlooking the city.
