Fodor's Review:

At Chamonix's most desirable hotel, rooms are furnished with elegant reproductions, and most have balconies. Many, such as No. 33, have unsurpassed views of Mont Blanc. Choose between rooms in the original building or Alpine lodge-style accommodations—with touches of contemporary rustic elegance—in the complex known as le Hameau. The dining room also has stupendous Mont Blanc views. Pierre Carrier's cuisine is perfectly prepared and presented classical fare based on exquisite ingredients—from white truffles in season to impeccable game or seafood delicacies—with minimal interest in originality, surprise, or artifice. Pros: dazzling panoramas wherever you look; polished and cheerful service; fine cuisine. Cons: hard to get a reservation in season; the actual location is less than pristine.
