Hotel in Malbuisson

On the edge of the Saint-Point lake 

In the Haut-Doubs, 15 km from Pontarlier, L'Atelier de Donat welcomes you to Malbuisson, on the edge of the Saint-Point lake. A preserved natural setting, between sparkling waters and pine forest which you can fully enjoy from our charming hotel. 

The Atelier de Donat owes its name to the former owner of the house, a craftsman who, amongst others things, made boats, some of which he made available to the passers-by on his small jetty. The beach that runs along the house has, for a while now, held his name. In Malbuisson, the name Donat is well known and it is in the spirit that we took over his former workshop. 

The workshop has undergone a grand renovation, undertaken with respect of the history of the workshop and the inheritance of Donat. Thus, references to the profession of woodworking and nature are omnipresent. Stone frontals, vegetal wall decorations, various tools, imposing beams, recycled workbenches...: so many references to the former master of the workshop. 

Now, in your turn, discover this place with its mix of authenticity and elegance. Between Besancon and Lausanne, our hotel restaurant offers you a unique destination : charming rooms and suites, modern facilities, bistronomic restaurant, terrace and salon lounge, all in an exeptionnal natural setting.
