My husband and I stopped at this hotel on the way back to the U.K. from Rome. The help we received from the lady on reception, and especially the Porter, regarding finding parking for our Land Rover and race box was exceptional. The Porter, especially, went above and beyond by leading my husband to a suitable car park and bringing him back to the hotel in the shuttle bus. Outstanding service!!! The previous week at a nearby hotel called Le Refuge the help was non existent. In fact, the hostility was awful. Everything at Grand Hotel was wonderful. Nearby restaurants. Also, the view of Mont Blanc from our room was breathtaking. We didn’t have the time on this trip to fully enjoy the hotel and its surroundings, but we will definitely be back to do just that.

The people were so nice here! We'd just finished the TMB and splurged for a 5 star hotel, we totally enjoyed this place! We used the spa and pool but thought it was weird that the sauna and steam room were only available from 5-9pm, i wish they'd have it open all the time. The hot tub/spa could have been hotter too. We highly recommend starting here.

Beautiful hotel! The spa is well-equipped with a pool and sauna. Plus, I had a massage by Joanna, which was amazing and much needed after a day of walking and thin air up on Mont Blanc. The reception’s managers were both extremely helpful and very pleasant.

Excellent hotel, nice and clean. Staff were attentiveness, provided extras (nice little treat) when purchasing. Spa is open from 9am-9pm which again was good after a days walking the hills. Great location, right in the centre of Chamonix The street can be loud, (UTMB was being held the week we were there) however we were provided with ear plugs. Highly recommended a Mountain View, just stunning

I was booked for a suite for 3 nights from 10th to 13th July. During check in they told me there is issue with AC and I cannot use AC during the night for bedroom and living room suite. It was very difficult for me to sleep without AC and didn't expect such situation for 5 star hotel for 500$ per night ! 3 nights were most difficult for me at this hotel

This was a short stay, but the staff was incredibly helpful over the few hours we were there. We were starting a trek of the full Tour - the hotel stored our luggage, washed some of our clothes, and held our jewelry in their safe. They helped us with a dinner reservation too. The only downfall is that it is on a main square and when you sleep with the windows open, you can hear anyone staying out late and talking loudly. It's not a big party town, though, so regular noise was minimal and the fan they provided helped drown out quite a bit. This definitely won't stop us from staying here again!
