Staying in a hotel in the mountains above Chamonix, accessible only by a quaint train (30 minutes) where you can go on incredible hikes or just relax on the patio and stare at the glorious mountains... well, it doesn't get better than that. Everyone on the staff was attentive and nice, and the family room was perfect for my husband, myself, and our teenage daughter (who got her own space). We loved it!!

Our stay at Montenvers was great. The hotel appearred lovingly restored to it's original glory. It was a realitively easy and comfortable way to immerse in some of the most beautiful mtns in the world. The food was very good. The views from our room of the glacier and mtns were fantastic.

Un cadre exceptionnel, mais l’expérience ne suit pas. Nous habitons à Chamonix et nous étions ravis de séjourner enfin au Montenvers - le site est spectaculaire et le dîner était vraiment bon. Cependant, pour le prix payé, l’expérience globale nous a déçus. L’intérieur a besoin d’un vrai coup de neuf. L’espace bar souffre d’un éclairage peu flatteur et manque cruellement de chaleur et de convivialité - une occasion manquée vu le cadre montagnard exceptionnel. Les chambres sont basiques, voire décevantes pour ce niveau de prix. Le plus frustrant : aucune communication sur les horaires du train. Même en tant que locaux, on a trouvé ça confus - on imagine à peine la difficulté pour les visiteurs qui dépendent du train comme seul moyen d’accès en hiver. Il y a un superbe hôtel qui ne demande qu’à émerger ici. Le potentiel est là - le site fait déjà une grande partie du travail. Mais il faut investir dans les intérieurs pour créer le refuge alpin chaleureux qu’il pourrait être, et repenser complètement la communication et le service client. Pour l’instant, l’établissement se repose sur la vue.

Exceptional location. Cool, vintage-looking hotel. Rooms are very oldschool, which is cool. Bathrooms should have followed the same style.

Uma experiência única.

Nada igual, uma experiência única que todos deveria ter, de passar uma noite em um hotel mágico nas montanhas, tratamento intimista, vista impecável, eu nem tenho palavras. O conforto do quarto é 10/10 e a alimentação é de alto nível.

Experiencia Incrível!

Experiencia incrível no meio das montanhas. Vale a pena! Café da manhã e jantar muito gostosos e bem acolhedor. A vista sensacional para as montanhas. Hotel fica isolado, bom para momentos a dois. Não esqueça de levar tudo que precisa, pois não há comercio algum ao redor.
