"Having arrived at this Chamonix auberge late on a summer night, I was surprised when I drew back the curtains the next morning and found Mont Blanc and the French Alps still partly wreathed in snow. This wood-paneled inn includes 10 comfortable rooms and suites and a large terrace where breakfast is served. The restaurant is superb, with an exceptional list of French wines — as might be expected at a place owned by chef Emmanuel Renaut. (His Flocons de Sel, an hour’s drive away in Megève, has three Michelin stars.) Doubles from $263." - Travel + Leisure Editors
