Stayed one night at Grand Hôtel des Alpes in Chamonix in April – and enjoyed every single minute of it. The hotel is located on the main pedestrian street – in the middle of Chamonix – close to everything you want to be close to. I’m sure it must be one of Chamonix finest places to stay. The atmosphere is so peaceful and you truly feel like home. The staff are doing everything they can to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. I checked in late, and since the hotel doesn’t offer any roomservice – one of the staff-members offered to go next door to get me a hamburger. Super service! The breakfast-area and buffet was also amazing. They even have M&Ms for breakfast, if you’re up for sweets Beautiful paintings on the wall and very quiet. Loved it! You should also check out the sauna and pool. They both have a really private feel to it. I’ll be back again if I ever go back to Chamonix – for sure.

“Winter wonderland”

Grand Hotel des Alpes

Jan 24, 2008

We stayed for a week just before the skiiing 'season' started. Our room was spacious, quiet, warm and well equiped. We particularly enjoyed the breakfasts (arguably expensive at 20 euro pp), but well worth it - note the hotel does not offer dinner. The facilities included a great indoor pool as well as a large steam room and sauna. All were enjoyed after the cold days out. The staff were very helpful and were keen to help suggest/organise things to do. Their English was much better than my French!

“Fantastic hotel - partiuclarly for skiing”

Grand Hotel des Alpes

Jan 21, 2008

We have just returned from a stay at this hotel while skiing in Chamonix for 8 days. It was a great experience - beautiful lobby and room, very good facilities(pool etc), wonderful service. In particular, the staff are very helpful. For example, we wanted to have breakfast at 7 each morning but it begin officially at 7.30. After we explained this, they let us eat at 7 each day. The staff also all speak English to a very high standard. Recommended whole heartedly.

“Fantastic stay”

Grand Hotel des Alpes

5 of 5 stars
Rancho Santa Fe, CA
Jan 14, 2008

We loved this hotel. The rooms are a good size, comfortable even with a roll away for a third person. The hotel is conveniently located, an easy walk to any desired location in town. The beds are very comfortable and the robes are a nice touch. The views of the mountain are somewhat obstructed by trees and other structures, but amazing views even if you have to stretch a little for the reward. The front desk was very helpful. We watched a few movies one tired evening (free at the front counter). We also borrowed a wine opener more than once. I wish this hotel had existed 10 years ago when I visited Chamonix. If you don't have a ton of luggage, and or it's not too cold, walk to and from the train station (it's close at approx 4 blocks and will save you a $30 cab ride). Email the front desk for walking directions before you arrive, as you can get turned around if it's your first time in this charming village. Our only complaint was the early morning maid service noise. The vacuum sound can carry to nearby guest rooms and be particularly bothersome to those travelers trying to sleep past 8a.m.Our favorite meal in Chamonix was Chinese food at Chez Yang (an easy walk from the hotel). Overall, a great visit. We'll be back!

“Loved this hotel”

Grand Hotel des Alpes

Just back from 2 days at this hotel in chamonix. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The setting is beautiful, we could see the mont blanc from our window. Chamonix is a lovely place. The hotel is right in the centre of the town, near all the bars and restaurants. We really enjoyed our 2 nights there. We'd definitely go back
