Folie Douce Hôtel Chamonix

‘Luxury conviviality’ might be the best description for this new hotel opened by the prestigious La Folie Douce brand. So far from simply being a place for you to hang up your ski or walking boots, it’s a complete lifestyle package. The owner’s vision was to provide “absolutely everything that might be desired during guests’ stay” and it’s hard to fault his delivery. From the kids’ club to the expansive fitness suite complete with yoga studio and swimming pool to the joyous apres-ski parties, everything has been thought of and is offered in style.

The hotel is also beautifully designed, creating somewhere you actively want to spend long leisurely hours. Making full use of the vast spaces and high ceilings of this former palace, the abundant communal areas are astonishing in their grandeur. But they’re also made to be incredibly cosy and welcoming - this is a hotel that prides itself on creating an ambience and on bringing people together. And you’ll absolutely want to join in the fun lounging in the plush comforts of the Janssen Bar or the elegance of La Fruitiere restaurant.

When you are craving the comfort of your own private space, the rooms are equally splendid and well-thought-out. Light-filled spaces with soft, neutral decor in wood and white combined with feature wallpaper bring the beauty of the outdoors inside. And when you want to catch another glimpse of the awe-inspiring mountain surroundings, you only need to glance out your window. The Folie Douce Hôtel Chamonix - Premium offers a simply magical mountain escape where you can immerse yourself in all the charms of Chamonix.
