Chalet Hôtel Hermitage

The Chalet Hotel Hermitage Paccard is pretty darn close to perfection. This was our second stay at the hotel and even more lovely than we remembered.|Location is a short walk from the train station, but away from the crowds on a quiet street. We had a suite with wrap around balcony and mountain views from every angle. Warm woods and crisp white bedding gave an air of elegance to our room.|The garden has been expanded since our last visit and it was a treat. After our hikes we would relax on contoured lounges (my favorite spot was under a big weeping tree) where we fell asleep on more than one occasion. We enjoyed food and drink served in the garden and it was all excellent. My favorite was a red berry salad with dried meat and cheese--delicious! |The hotel is family owned and the attention to detail is evident throughout the property. Every day we saw the owner tidying up the garden or someone precisely tying the bows on the chair cushions.|Highly recommend the Hermitage and hope to visit again!

We spent four days at this hidden gem, just a few minutes' walk from downtown Chamonix. Our room had everything we needed, an including a good mattress and private balcony with views of Mont Blanc. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The outdoor spa is set in a beautiful garden, with saunas, a jacuzzi, cold plunge, natural pool, and sun beds — perfect for relaxing after a day of hiking. The hotel's high standards made our stay unforgettable, and we’ll definitely be back soon

Our expectations were not only met but exceeded. The outdoor spa, especially the variety of saunas, was truly exceptional. We did not try the breakfast so that is unknown for us.

I loved the location because it’s right outside of Chamonix center in a quiet location but easy to get to the shops etc. staff was friendly and helpful, the room was immaculate and the spa amenities are stunning.

(August review) Fantastic place. The garden with its many surprises (wooden shacks with each a story to tell, private Jacuzzi, multiple saunas, mini streams and fountains is an ideal place. Excellent breakfast, super welcoming staff, and the owners are so friendly...we spent half an hour talking. Very close to the center (5 min walk), to the train station (also 5 minutes), view on Alps (including Mont-Blanc) and we had a large balcony to enjoy it. We will be returning. I imagine it will also be wonderful in winter and we will surely be returning.

I stayed at this fantastic hotel with my partner for a 4 night ski holiday. The hotel itself is beautiful with a authentic french feel, we had a privilege room which was lovely, spacious but cosy and a huge balcony with a view of the mountains. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was brilliant with a buffet of pastries, fruit, fresh juices and more. Coffee was one of the nicest I have had! Cakes in the afternoon is a great touch. The outside area with the jacuzzi and saunas is a highlight, one of the best spa type experience we have had! Options of different saunas, and a jacuzzi which you can book as a private slot. Perfect location to walk into the town in 5 -10 mins. For skiing loads of lifts nearby (I recommend hiring a car as the buses are very busy so difficult to get on) Loved all the attention to detail in the interior and decorations around the hotel. Would love to return- thank you!

Christmas 2023. The most magical Christmas day in a true fairytale hotel for the true alpine Christmas experience in Chamonix. The hotel looks like a huge chalet and the rooms are incredibly cosy. The other hotel areas are beautiful too and look like a cosy woodland cabin. Lovely white robes in the stunning room. Bed was very comfortable. Then the garden and spa was like something from a German fairytale. Staying in the hot tub and looking at the stars and the mountains is something I'll never forget (please note this is an extra cost). I felt so refreshed after this stay. The breakfast had a nice selection too, including gluten free. Staff were lovely and helpful. They made our Christmas last year very special!

The most beautiful and nicest hotel I have ever stayed in, from the decorations, the warmth of the place, the room, the reception lobby, and the very friendly staff. I highly recommend it, and it is close to the center

Love this place. Hotel staff is very accommodating and friendly. Rooms look to be newly redone with wood floors and doors. Queen sized bed with clean, comfortable linens. Large closet with several hangars for proper clothing storage. Excellent views in any direction. And at least in the summertime - the gardens are lovely. Breakfast...yum!!! Only downsides: 1) The closet doorframe is low and I continually scrap my bald scalp when departing. 2) The key ring is colossal making loud banging noises as it pounds the door frame when unlocking or locking. Additionally, it cannot leave the premises unless escorted by a private security team or loaded into a wheelbarrow.

This is a wonderful place. Very close to Chamonix Center, while quiet and overlooking snowy hills. Very friendly staff, newly decorated but still has the feeling of a traditional chalet.
