The exceptional view over Mont Blanc was the driving force behind every last detail of this hotel’s design. When you arrive, the vast bay window sets the scene, making a lasting first impression. Once you’ve settled comfortably into your room, come and try out the heated waters of the outdoor swimming pool, enjoy lunch on the terrace or relax in one of our hammocks and soak up the sun in our private garden. Throughout your stay, the roof of Europe, object of much fascination, objective of the first of Chamonix’s adventurers, and the departure point of many legends, will accompany you along your way.
