Le Hameau Albert 1er, Chamonix Mont-Blanc

Description: Le Hameau Albert 1er

Combining a traditional Alpine identity with the modern, chic comforts of a 5-star hotel, Le Hameau Albert 1er is one of Chamonix’s most historic properties, owned by the same family since 1903. Once the simple ‘Railway Guesthouse’, it now resembles a small hamlet, with the main building surrounded by ‘La Ferme’, chalets, a beautiful garden and even a rivulet that flows between the fruit trees. With fabulous views of Mont-Blanc, Le Hameau Albert 1er offers luxurious accommodation, top-class cuisine and the finest facilities in a spectacular mountain setting.

Perfect at any time of year for unforgettable experiences in Chamonix, Le Hameau Albert 1er has rooms and suites in the Albert 1er main building, rooms and apartments in ‘La Ferme’, two immense family suites, and two independent chalets. All have access to the garden, outdoor pool and hot tub, the Le Bachal Spa, the Quartzbar, and much more. The hotel’s location in the heart of Chamonix means that it is ideally placed for outdoor activities all year round in what is perhaps the world capital of mountaineering and winter sports.

As befits a 5-star establishment, Le Hameau Albert 1er boasts two fine restaurants. The gastronomic restaurant, Albert 1er, is the proud holder of a Michelin star, and promises innovation and reinvention with seasonal and market produce. La Maison Carrier is the hotel’s traditional restaurant, and places the emphasis on popular mountain cuisine based on the finest locally sourced ingredients.
