Grand Hotel Billia

History

The building was built in 1908 on behalf of Italian entrepreneur Stefano Billia, who already managed the stagecoach service between Ivrea and Saint Vincent. At that time, Saint-Vincent was an emerging resort destination thanks to the renowned thermal waters of the Fons salutis. At its opening, the hotel had 138 rooms with a total of 200 beds.[1]

After World War II, the building housed the Casino de la Vallée [it], which was inaugurated in its rooms on March 29, 1947.[1]
