The house
Maisons & Hôtels SibuetPost-war Alpine grande dame
Post-war artists and filmmakers turned this Alpine address into a winter salon, running it like an extension of Paris.
“The in-house restaurant of L'Hôtel Mont-Blanc is an experience onto itself… with its unconventional interior.”
What it’s good at
Listed
Weathered alpine timbers meet mid-century furniture and Vallauris ceramics in the lounges.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Sibuet’s work tends toward the classic, not the flashy, and a grand dame like the Mont-Blanc will always be luxury more than look.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The front doors open onto the central square, right beside the horse-drawn carriages and pedestrian lanes.

The rooms
Bedrooms pair tailored mid-century lines with pale timber paneling and warm wool throws.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated indoor pool sits under angled skylights, finished in white pebble mosaic with counter-current swimming jets.
The spa
Igloo-inspired vaulted cabins host treatments formulated with mountain minerals and edelweiss. A fireside lounge serves tea afterward.
At the table
Carved pine ceilings and antler chandeliers hang above tables serving regional Alpine specialties and fresh morning pastries.
How it began
Director Roger Vadim filmed scenes for Les Liaisons Dangereuses here in 1959, drawing French cinema royalty to the slopes.
