Beautiful hotel - probably one of the best spots in Chamonix especially for a first-time visit like us.
Pros:
- Location: located just at the end of the pedestrian section of Jospeh Vallot, you literally walk outside and cross the street to have access to the shops, restaurants, art galleries and bars of central Chamonix. Also bus stops for the bus and skibus lines (Place Mont-Blanc and Mummery) give you great access to public transportation.
- Services: in the hotel, there is a ski rental store, as well as ski lockers with direct access from outside and bus stops. You can buy ski passes onsite. Bar in the hotel is more of a family gathering spot, with decent drinks and snacks
- Views: views of Mont-Blanc and the town of Chamonix were great.
- Family: family friendly hotel with some amenities for kids, small arcade, etc.
- Spa: small but nice spa, with dry sauna, steam room, relaxation area and 2 hot tubs, as well a 2 private massage rooms.
- Room: We had a superior room with balcony and view mountain view
. It was very nice in terms of decoration (colors, furniture, look and feel).
Cons:
- Room: The room was small. Bed could have been more comfortable.
- Spa: other guests did not respect quiet zones in spa
Elevators: expect to wait when the hotel is very busy
Lobby: fairly noisy and busy with young kids running around at times.
WIFI: WIFI signal was acceptable but it was often slow. No ability to cast content to the in-room TV.
