Excelsior Chamonix Hôtel & Spa

Lovely pool and setting

We loved this little town so enchanting and interesting although a little expensive against our Australian dollar. The hotel itself felt so homely. The beds and pillows were lovely and soft. The free pool,sauna and hot tub were such a treat for us and we loved that. The landscape is what dreams are made of. The reception was very helpful and arranged a taxi for us on the day we were leaving,and gave us a bus timetable. The hotel itself seemed very quiet whilst we stayed there. The passages all have lighting by sensor so they would only turn on if someone was walking down them which I thought was clever. Our room was serviced everyday to a good standard. Handy key card entry to your room. Reception open 24hrs a day. There were lifts and it is wheel chair accessible. This property is definitely international standard.

Superb hotel and facilities, the pool and spa are very good.

The hotel is located 6 minutes walking distance from the train station (train runs every hour), and from the bus station (Les Tines bus stop, buses run every 10-15 minutes during the day) - getting to Flegere ski lift or Chamonix Mont Blanc is quite easy (2 bus stops to Flegere - 3-4 min). The hotel gives you host passes for the public transportation (with host card trains are free, buses are no longer free but you can buy the 2 day pass for EUR 4 with the host card). The train also takes you to Les Houches and other ski areas - it is very convenient if you time its arrival well. Rooms are comfortable, warm and clean, staff is friendly.

A very nicely refurbished hotel, slightly out of the way about halfway between Chamonix and Argentière. Spacious comfortable room, nice bar, airy restaurant serving delicious dinner and varied breakfast. Lovely spa and a beautiful outdoor pool with wonderful views of Mont Blanc. And really pleasant staff. I wish I had discovered this hotel sooner.
