Presentation

The Chalet Hôtel Le Prieuré & Spa is located in a lively area of Chamonix, in close proximity to shopping streets, transportation, and ski lifts. Its location allows you to quickly reach the main points of interest in the valley without needing a car. Within a few minutes, you can access the Aiguille du Midi cable car, the lively town center, or the bus stop leading to nearby ski areas.

Behind its large Savoyard chalet facade, the hotel reveals a warm and contemporary atmosphere. Carefully renovated, it combines the spirit of mountain homes with an elegant aesthetic and a discreet Scandinavian vibe. Blond wood, natural materials, and mineral tones create soft spaces conducive to rest and relaxation. The establishment perpetuates local history while offering comfort suited to today's expectations.

The hotel's 95 rooms and suites are mostly south-facing, with balconies opening onto Mont Blanc or the Aiguilles de Chamonix. Each room offers a welcoming setting designed for relaxation after a day at altitude. The decorative elements echo traditional chalet codes with a refined touch in furniture and layout choices. The Refuge suites, located under the roof, provide a more spacious experience, in an intimate ambiance with direct views of the peaks.

All rooms are equipped with a bathroom featuring a bathtub or shower, a flat-screen TV, a courtesy tray, a safe, high-speed Wi-Fi access, and soundproofing. Some rooms can accommodate up to six people, making the hotel suitable for couples, families, or groups of friends. The family suites feature two bathrooms, enhancing comfort for longer stays.

In the morning, a buffet is served in the restaurant's bright dining room, with a clear view of the mountains. In the evening, the hotel's rotisserie welcomes you with a generous menu blending traditional French dishes and reimagined Savoyard specialties. The spit-roast cooking pays homage to old techniques, offering simple and well-executed cuisine. The service is smooth, in a friendly atmosphere.

The hotel's bar provides another pleasant living space. Guests can gather around the fireplace in a comfortable room equipped with a piano, a pool table, and games accessible to all. The lighting is subdued, the seating is plush, and the pace is slower. A small selection of dishes and desserts is also available 24/7, to be enjoyed on-site or in-room, thanks to a Food Boutique concept designed for light snacks.

The wellness area harmoniously completes this experience. The Cinq Mondes Spa features a hammam, an outdoor sauna, a jacuzzi, a tea corner, an indoor pool, and three treatment rooms. It is possible to book a massage or a personalized treatment in a calm setting with views of the peaks. A fitness room illuminated by natural light allows guests to maintain their workout routine during their stay.

In summer, the spa's terrace opens onto the alpine panorama. A few deckchairs are set up to enjoy the sun and extend the effects of a treatment or a swim. Inside, the spaces are designed for relaxation, with attentive service and a peaceful atmosphere. The wellness experience unfolds at its own pace, far from the outside hustle.

The hotel also provides a ski equipment rental service and a storage room for your gear. This partnership with skiing professionals simplifies departures to the slopes, especially for those wishing to enjoy the areas as soon as they open. The private parking, with limited access, allows you to keep your vehicle safe, while a concierge service and a 24/7 reception cater to your needs throughout your stay.

Modular meeting spaces are also available for business travelers or private events. The facility includes over 300 m² that can host up to 350 people, with an adjoining terrace and an independent entrance. These bright rooms allow for work meetings in a functional yet inspiring setting.

From the Chalet Hôtel Le Prieuré & Spa, you can easily reach several iconic sites in Chamonix. The ascent to the Aiguille du Midi offers an unforgettable spectacle, with views of the glaciers and dizzying walkways. The Montenvers train takes you to the Mer de Glace, where you can visit the glacier's ice cave and explore the crystal museum.

For hiking enthusiasts, numerous trails lead from the valley to high-altitude lakes or perched refuges. In summer, trails to Lac Blanc or the south balconies offer exceptional views of the Mont Blanc massif. In winter, the ski areas of Brévent, Flégère, Grands Montets, and Les Houches cater to all skill levels.

The town also offers several attractions within walking distance of the hotel. The Alpine Museum, housed in a former palace, recounts the history of mountaineering and mountain tourism. A few minutes away, the crystal museum showcases the region's often-overlooked mineral treasures. Temporary exhibitions and concerts also regularly animate the local cultural scene.

In terms of gastronomy, Chamonix is full of excellent dining options. You can book a table at a traditional inn to enjoy fondue or tartiflette, or explore more contemporary cuisine at restaurants run by young chefs. Some venues even offer vegetarian or locavore cuisine with a modern mountain spirit.

At the end of the day, you can stroll through the lively streets of the resort, enjoy the terraces, or stop by a shop selling local products. Cheeses, honey, chocolates, or artisanal items make for memorable souvenirs of the region. Some markets also feature farm products depending on the season.

The Chalet Hôtel Le Prieuré & Spa thus offers a complete stay experience, combining comfort, authenticity, and quality services. With its ideal location, well-appointed facilities, and soothing atmosphere, it serves as a perfect base for exploring the Chamonix valley at your own pace.
