The Mont Blanc region encompasses four valleys, each a breathtaking tableau of living nature unfolding in a compendium of forests, meadows, glaciers, granite needles and legendary peaks. Among the fourteen villages dotting the Mont Blanc region is Megève, set below the Mont d’Arbois plateau. And this is where Le Domaine du Mont d’Arbois can be found, a luxury hotel in the mountains.
A short distance from Switzerland and Italy, dominated by Mont Blanc, Megève is tucked away between the slopes of the Arly and the Arbon. Set above Megève, a mere 12-minute walk from the village centre, the luxury chalet is a symbol of the happy union of traditional mountain architecture, the strict codes of the grand hotels and the compelling charm of a lovingly tended family home.
The five-star Chalet Domaine du Mont d’Arbois, a Relais & Châteaux hotel, is made up of three luxury chalets – Le Chalet, Le Chalet Noémie and Le Chalet Alice – all some one hundred feet distant from each other.
The luxury resort boasts five restaurants, golf academy, spa, heated swimming pool and 41 luxurious rooms. The rooms and suites exude the Rothschild signature: a meticulously tended and profoundly personalised ambiance.
From an old monogrammed trunk to a stag-horn trimmed lamp to the frescoed facades of the elevators, the objects and decorative flair bring to mind the family history at Mont d’Arbois. An immense fireplace in the main salon is a great place to settle in and relax.
There’s also a plethora of activities during the winter season. Skiing and other sports of the slopes, snowshoeing, ice skating (two rinks), curling, ice hockey, horse-drawn sleigh rides and more.
