Les Grands Montets酒店& Spa

The room was great , but the spa area , pool sauna and steam room was perfect.

Four years ago, we stayed at the Hotel Les Grands Montets as part of our Tour du Mont Blanc ten-day trek. We had two nights there as we prepared for our last two legs of hiking on our trek. Unfortunately, poor weather did not permit us to take the preferred route to the Lac Blanc -- wind and precipitation made that leg too dangerous. We did an alternate route. We decided to complete the Lac Blanc section one day. This year, we completed that leg of the trip under excellent weather conditions that ensured a safe climb through the latter and cable sections. Our decision to stay at the Hotel Les Grands Montets was based on easy access to these hikes and the comfort of one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in --- great breakfast, fabulous spa, and an excellent staff. Highly recommend.

Very chill and cozy hotel. Staff are very sweet and helpful, but also not overly bearing. They stay in the background as much as possible. Not overly formal as you get in many hotels. Spa is very good, with good jacuzzi, nice little pool and good sauna and Hamman. Breakfast was also good, a mixture of everything; bacon and eggs, hard boiled if you want. Plenty of cereal, yoghurts, fruit, cold cuts and cheese, and plenty of pastries and different types of bread. The rooms were cozy, with nice balconies and beautiful views. The one criticism would be the designs of the rooms. With ours the front door and the bathroom door easily collided, and my partner accidentally trapped her fingers in between them which really hurt. The pillows were also not good; there was a large tempur type one, so very hard, or a little pillow which had almost no structure at all, so something in between would have been better, but the mattress was very comfy. My mother had a separate room, which was a different layout, and was actually better than our layout, same issue with the pillows though. In short, I would definitely stay here again, I just might bring my own pillow next time! Location wise it is very close to Grand Montets lift. Argentine is a 10 minute walk away. A car is recommended, but then it is generally recommended for chamonix as it makes getting around, particularly in the evenings much easier. There is no restaurant onsite, so you will need to eat out, but they have snacks at the bar.
