Modern Alpine lodge
It trades heavy chalet traditions for clean boutique energy, bringing cocktail culture and private karaoke suites to the valley.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
a thoroughly modern Alpine luxury hotel that’s been carving out its own niche since its extensive 2008 renovation.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Aiguille du Midi cable car is a short walk away, and Chamonix's town centre is just as close.
The rooms
Interiors swap rustic timber for clean lines and warm tones, and selected rooms look straight out toward Mont Blanc.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor swimming pool is heated to 28 degrees Celsius, staying open through winter snow in the garden.
The spa
The spa uses Deep Nature skincare across four treatment cabins, with herbal infusions poured in the relaxation lounge.
The sauna and steam cabins
A timber sauna chalet and outdoor steam room sit in the garden, right beside an open-air whirlpool.
Restaurant
Casa Nonna
The trattoria serves Alpine-Italian cooking across timber dining rooms and an open terrace facing the Aiguille du Midi.
At the table
The central bar serves signature génépi cocktails beneath a skylight, and morning buffets set up beside the pool.
How it began
Interior architect Saar Zafrir remade the 107-room property in late 2024, reshaping the former refuge into a crisp mountain base.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
