A few letters to express the timelessness of this charming village, the magic of winter, the freshness of summer, the lively alleyways, the wild landscapes and this elegantly hushed boutique-hotel. In the heart of Megève, in the cobbled streets and typical houses where time has fortunately left its mark, you'll find the village square. It's here, facing the bell tower whose scales gleam in the sunlight, that theHôtel Mont-Blanc. An address of intimate luxury and delicate extravagance, the perfect setting for lazing about, tasting, strolling, leaving and, above all, returning to be pampered, sheltered from the noise of the world. Curled up in a white velvet shepherd's couch by the fireplace, above which sits a ceramic sun designed by a skilled craftsman, you hesitate between a grand cru hot chocolate and a homemade pastry, watching the flames in the fireplace wave and, from the glassed-in lounges, the horse-drawn carriages go by and the sporty or leisurely strollers stroll by. Here, artists' pieces and vintage furniture, patinated blond wood, monochromatic hues and gaudy madness collide with chic.
You'll stubbornly escape these cozy walls for days on end without regret, as when you sip a glass of vintage champagne from the bar at Les Enfants Terribles, in the cosy lounges, or sit on the terrace and watch the horse-drawn carriages go by, the snowflakes twirling, the garlands and multicolored baubles glittering on the big fir tree. Or taste the best of the Alps at Le Relais, after venturing into the polar comfort of the spa for a relaxing swim or an icy treatment, on a winter or summer's day.
The Sound of Snow
Hearing
In winter, when the glittering, icy night falls on the village, the magic happens instantly. Especially when the snowflakes adorn, in a padded silence, the square and its huge fir tree loaded with balls and multicolored garlands, right in front of Mont-Blanc. Time seems to stand still here... a stroke of luck.
The perfume of Gourmandise
The sense of smell
Every morning, a ballet of sweet treats is performed with brio. Honor the simple pleasures straight from childhood, with their perfumes of fine butter, chocolate and brioche, wonderfully exhaled by kouglofs, marbrés, cakes and viennoiseries. A farandole of homemade delights to which you can't reasonably say no.
The Charm and Chic of Vintage
La Vue
In winter as in summer, Megève is synonymous with beautiful promises. And yet, sometimes the urge to curl up in your own room, between elegant walls clad in blond wood and refined fabrics with hints of warm colors, is stronger. A perfectly mastered case of chic vintage whimsy where we love to curl up.
The Taste of a Mountain Escape
Taste
Between a journey to the heart of the Alps and through time, as you follow the recipes of yesteryear, the table at Le Relais revisits the flavors of the undergrowth, celebrated by mushrooms and fresh aromatic herbs, meats and melting cheeses gleaned from the alpine pastures, divine Italian charcuterie... While the bar at Les Enfants Terribles distills the mountain into invigorating liqueurs, unless you prefer the bubbles of vintage champagnes.
La Douceur du Froid
Touch
This Pure Altitude spa, with its icy grotto feel, is like entering the heart of winter. With an exquisite sense of freshness, you're enveloped by the purity and elegant softness of its décor, delicate fragrances and cutting-edge plant-based dermo-cosmetic treatments. A haven of absolute well-being.
