The Pure Altitude Spa offers an indoor pool and jacuzzi open to the sun, and its four treatment cabins that fit in perfectly with a pure world of ice and snow.
Information
The jewel in the crown of Megève's hotels:
Whenever Megève is mentioned, one name immediately springs to mind, ringing out loud and clear like the bells in the church square: the Mont-Blanc, the hotel up among the mountain peaks. With the passing decades, the hotel's reputation has steadily grown since the Fifties, when Megève was at the height of its glory and writers, singers and musicians would come there to trumpet their celebrity.
With its elegant chalet façade, its distinguished saloons and cosily inviting bedrooms, the resort's legendary hotel, its pedigree already well-established, is now ready for further exciting seasons with its new restaurant and spa, under the dynamic impetus of Jocelyne and Jean-Louis Sibuet.
Through the saloon, the library, corridors and Les Enfants Terribles restaurant, drawings, lithographs and a fresco by Jean Cocteau all echo the poet's presence. A unique atmosphere reigns on the next floor and in the bedrooms, with a harmonious combination of English, Austrian and Savoyard styles: light woods, checked fabrics, wing chairs, stag's antlers, standard lamps and throws on the sofas. The eye is constantly drawn, or rather hypnotised, by all these facets that are far from being merely details.
And when a piece of antique English furniture whispers in our ear in the language of Shakespeare, a second later a Savoyard dresser gently reminds us that here we are in the land of mountain pastures and Alpine scents. And indeed, the balconies offer magnificent views over the mountains and village.
Restaurants
Rebirth of a legendary venue:
If we do not rewrite history, we can draw powerful ideas from it and explore an itinerary synonymous for years with unforgettable celebrations. Under the Sibuet's impetus, at the dawn of a fairytale Christmas in 2007, the Mont Blanc Hotel finally reappropriated Les Enfants Terribles, now the most refined of restaurants.
To do justice to the history of the place in an ambience that navigates between the modern and the nostalgic, the restaurant sports a refined and unconventional decoration in a harmonious mix of red, black and tobacco. Echoing the Fifties design, coloured crystal wall lamps can be seen side by side with pottery from the Jean Marais workshops. The original fresco and engravings by Cocteau illustrate the cultural heritage left by the artist. A love story, paying tribute to those who helped to make Megève a legendary international destination.
With its open kitchen, Les Enfants Terribles renews its ties with tradition, with all the wonderful smells of a rotisserie ? including the restaurant's spearhead, the ever-popular pepper steak ? and the opulence of an oyster bar, perfect for those craving a taste of the sea. Those seeking to assuage a sweet tooth can enjoy the celebrated Rum Baba or the restaurant's equally famous profiteroles.
This new gastronomic stopover in Megève can be explored all the year round!
The tea-room, famous for its range of teas and eleven kinds of hot chocolate, turns into a bar at 6.00 pm. Known as the "Georges", in tribute to Georges Boisson, who set the hotel on its feet again in 1949, the champagne bar offers a range of top champagne brands and mouth-watering combinations of caviar and foie gras.
