What guests report

View

Breathtaking alpine and mountain peak views from suites; rooms positioned to capture surrounding panorama

Bed & mattress

Exceptionally comfortable beds with soft, high-quality pillows and blankets described as sleeping on clouds; guests report never sleeping better

Bathroom & water

Not specifically detailed in reviews

Wi-Fi

Not mentioned in reviews

Breakfast

Exceptional and beautifully balanced with fresh juices, quality yogurts, fruits, pastries, French classics, excellent cheeses and butters; worth the stay

AC / heating

Not specifically detailed; mountain air and heating systems maintained for comfort

Local knowledge

Request the split-level or mezzanine rooms if traveling with children; kids love the 'nest' sleeping areas and separate zones provide privacy for parents.

Book dinner at Le Simon restaurant in advance during peak seasons; ask Salvatore or Jean-Marc for wine pairings from the 40,000-bottle cellar.

Use the complimentary shuttle service to Megève center rather than arranging your own transport; staff coordinate pickups seamlessly.
