Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel Mont-Blanc

In the center of town, this Belle Époque hotel has catered to an A-list clientele since it opened its doors in 1878. Riffing on the Swiss-chalet theme, the warm, cozy rooms feel contemporary without being impersonal. It's hard to beat taking a dip in a heated indoor-outdoor pool framed by majestic mountains, but the addition of elegant gourmet restaurant Le Matafan—with acclaimed chef Mickey Bourdillat at the helm—and a gorgeous spa clinch the deal.
