To stay at the Mont-Blanc is to treat yourself to a valley institution right in the center of town. Since 1849, this legendary hotel has welcomed a cosmopolitan clientele from the four corners of the globe to discover Europe's highest peak.
Ideally located just off the main street, the Chamonix building reveals its white façade and blue shutters. From the rooms and suites, you can contemplate the spectacle of the highest peaks. On one side, the Drus rise behind a forest of fir trees, on the other, the imposing Bossons glacier at the foot of Mont-Blanc.
Inside, you'll rediscover the elegance of the palaces that were built in Chamonix in the early 19th century, when the resort welcomed a wealthy international clientele who came here to discover the first winter sports vacations. The 5-star hotel with 41 rooms and suites has been completely renovated by interior designer Sybille de Margerie, inspired by nature and the environment. The rooms face a magnificent mountain panorama, offering space, luxury and comfort. Every morning, the hotel offers the pleasure of waking up facing the most beautiful of peaks, Mont Blanc. The lucky ones can enjoy the eternal spectacle of the mountain from one of the many balconies that adorn the façade.
