“really very good, actually”
considering the usual chintzy shoe box hotel rooms generally on offer in upmarket alpine resorts this newly opened genuine 4 star hotel is a winner. chic in an open fire, white sandblasted, easy like a sunday loft apartment meets franz klammer sort of way, and you could still bring the kids who will appreciate the pool, jacuzzi and steam room. situated just out of town, the staff will drive you around with a shuttle but we splashed out one night when the depth of new snow made car travel erm... neigh on impossible and had a horse drawn carriage take us to dinner (try ferme de marie - expensive but worth it). what else? the staff are young and friendly and will do their best to please but no room service. they'll tell you it's because every room has a kitchenette but still. we had a suite which included a large sitting room, two bathrooms, kitchen/dining area and the bedroom. nicely if sparingly furnished. all good frankly. we had dinner in the hotel one night which was excellent but most people don't, so the ambience wasn't what it might have been. the chef deserves more support. as with megeve itself, not cheap but well worth it.
