This new 4-star hotel by Top Chef on the banks of Lake Saint-Point opens in 2026, and Jura fans will snap it up

On the shores of Lake Saint-Point, in the village of Malbuisson, a construction site has intrigued residents and vacationers for months. An unrecognizable old inn, carefully installed materials, suspended Nordic baths emerging above the water: the clues of a highly anticipated future address are multiplying.

At the beginning of August 2026, this building will become the universe of chef Matthias Marc, revealed by Top Chef, and his wife, interior designer Hanna Marc: together, they will open La Maison des Cimes Malbuisson, a 4-star hotel and living space facing the lake and the forest.

A 4-star hotel anchored on the shores of Lake Saint-Point

Located at 4 chemin des Landes, facing Lake Saint-Point, the former inn has become a 4-star hotel with nine rooms and suites, all facing the water. Some will have Nordic baths suspended over the lake, complemented by an outdoor bath in the garden and a curiosity cabin around a central fireplace.

Each room will be named after a local plant, to extend the chef’s culinary universe. Between Nordic baths, walks by the lake, Haut-Doubs forests and Métabief resort, the address is designed as a base for experiencing the Jura all year round.

Table des Cimes and Bistrot des Bûcherons, the culinary project of Matthias Marc

At the heart of the house, the Table des Cimes will offer gourmet cuisine centered on embers, nourished by fish from the lake, wild herb picking and game. Next door, the Bistrot des Bûcherons will take on the spirit of a wood-fired inn, with old tiles, exposed beams and large convivial tables.

A spectacular wine room with more than 750 references, with an emphasis on natural and biodynamic wines served with regional cheeses, will complete the experience. For Matthias Marc, this address embodies his territory: He assumes ambition: , he confides, before specifying.
