Hameau Albert 1er Review

At Chamonix's most desirable hotel, guest rooms are furnished with elegant reproductions, and most have balconies, with many (such as No. 33) offering 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.
