Hameau Albert 1er

Rooms

The rooms are spread across two buildings, each with its own distinct style. Those in the Albert 1er, the original building, are individually-styled in a contemporary manner with designer furniture and decor in blues, greys, and mauves. Rooms in La Ferme are more rustic and built with wood reclaimed from old chalets across the Alps. The traditional Alpine architecture is combined with modern furniture and amenities, private balconies with view of Mont Blanc, and large bathrooms with separate baths and showers.

For larger groups and honeymooners there are also a selection of family suites and independent chalets on the property.

Location

The hotel is situated in the heart of Chamonix. Visitors will find many shops, bars and restaurants within a five-minute walk of the hotel and many of the town’s main attractions, like the cable car to the Aiguille du Midi, within a ten-minute walk.

Food and drink

The hotel’s La Maison Carriere is a popular choice even among locals for its wide variety of classic French cuisine as well as heartier Savoyard fare. The fine-dining restaurant, Albert 1er, has two Michelin stars and is acclaimed for its emphasis on simplicity but the big, bold dishes it still manages to produce. If guests don’t want a large meal, they can head to the Quartz Bar, a wine and cocktail bar that also serves gourmet tapas.

Facilities and activities

The hotel has an innovative half-indoor, half-outdoor swimming pool with a glass divider that comes down in the winter months and allows the pool to be accessible year round. Le Bachal spa offers a steam room, a Jacuzzi and massage treatments. There is also a small gym as well as a rock climbing wall.
