Wellness pioneer Henri Chenot passes away peacefully

Henri Chenot, founding father of wellness brand Chenot Group, has died peacefully surrounded by his family.

For almost 50 years, his company has specialised in the health, wellness and hospitality sector, developing medical spa programmes, treatments, cosmetic products and food supplements that promote healthy living, wellness and successful ageing. Earlier this year the group opened its Swiss flagship, Chenot Palace Weggis, and unveiled its first spa in partnership with One&Only Resorts at One&Only Desaru Coast in Malaysia.

“Henri was a creative leader and a devoted loving husband, father and grandfather,” says Dominique Chenot, his wife and co-founder of Chenot Group. “In his public life, he was known as a visionary; in his private life, he cherished his family. Henri was larger-than-life, and his remarkable passion and talent had enormous impact on both preventative and rejuvenating care; his insight would become the origin of a world-renowned wellness movement. We are grateful for the support and kindness of those who share our feelings for Henri. We know many of you will mourn with us, and we ask that you respect our privacy during our time of grief.”

The Chenot Group add: “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the loss of our cherished founder. It was an absolute privilege to be with him; to be inspired by his vision; to listen to his incredible stories; to us, he’s our legend. We will honour his passing by continuing his incredible work, integrating health into wellbeing.”
