What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s a side project — a true labor of love — for a Parisian hotelier, and it aims to create the same warm welcome you’d expect from a family-operated chalet.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
The Princesse gondola is five minutes away, carrying skiers directly onto the slopes of Megève.
The rooms
Bedrooms keep things simple with pale timber and warm linen, and private balconies look out toward Mont Blanc.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The outdoor pool sits on a paved terrace, looking out toward the jagged peaks of the Aravis range.
The spa
Timber-paneled rooms inside hold a sunken hot tub, a sauna, and a hammam beside quiet wooden loungers.
At the table
A fourteen-seat wooden table is dressed with iron candelabras for shared Savoyard suppers of tartiflette and local charcuterie.
