Hôtel Hameau Albert 1er

The staff at the hotel and Restaurant Albert 1er were professional, friendly and anticipated our needs. We ordered drinks on the second day and the server led us to the covered outdoor space and knew who we were and what room we were staying in. The views were amazing and the entire property was beautifully maintained. The hotel is very convenient to the main part of Chamonix. Our experience at Restaurant Albert 1er was unique and a once-in-a-lifetime experience. After thoroughly enjoying our dinner the first evening, we were invited to come back the following night for a personalized dinner which the chef would prepare so that nothing would be the same as the first evening's dinner. This was a unique opportunity to experience the creativity of a Michelin starred chef who saw this as a challenge to create an entirely new menu using locally sourced and seasonal ingredients for just one couple. He, and the staff, exceeded all our expectations!

Suited close to the train station and the main part of Chamonix, it was easy to get everywhere from this hotel -- or simply to take in the breathtaking scenery from our balcony. Such an oasis! It was tempting to never leave the property -- the staff goes way over and above to serve you in every way and keep a smile on your face. We had the thrill of eating in their Michelin restaurant as well. A remarkable experience -- both food and incredibly attentive service.

What a beautiful and charming hotel in the lovely Chamonix! We loved the cozy wood cabin feel, adorned with vibrant flowers—such a special experience for us city dwellers. The attention to detail and the care the staff put into keeping everything immaculate truly impressed us. We especially appreciated the hotel shuttle service, which made getting to and from the train stations and the Aiguille du Midi cable car seamless. Our driver even made sure we boarded the correct train for our next journey—above and beyond! Our little one had a great time at the small playground by the entrance. Both on-site restaurants—including the Michelin-starred one—were exceptional. Breakfast was simple, fresh, and delicious, served in a lovely garden setting. We also appreciated the thoughtful touch of apples available in the lounge throughout the day—we happen to love apples!

By far the best hotel we experienced during our trip to France. The service was exceptional — attentive, warm. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the facilities were second to none: a beautiful pool and spa with stunning views, large and serene sauna and steam room. The views were breathtaking, and the property itself is both stunning and immaculately maintained. Truly a dream stay!

Truly 5 star, we stayed 3 nights in May. The property is stunning, the room was designed so nicely and we felt at home there. The food in the restaurants was heavenly, the service around the whole property was outstanding. May was the perfect time to go as it was not packed, the views were magical, but there was no snow on the ground. Highly recommend!

just unbelievable. i have stayed at a LOT of hotels and honestly this is up there with the best of the best. our room had the most STUNNING window view of mont blanc to wake up to every morning, was so, so clean and well laid out and had a HUGE bathroom with tub and shower. we were in the more modern of the hotels, and from check in to check out it was just an absolute five star experience. the grounds are probably the nicest i've ever seen at a hotel, between the gardens, the blooms, the bees and the pool area. it's perfectly tucked away off the main road so everything in Chamonix is close but when we would come home at night it felt private and quiet. service was astounding. simply cannot say enough good things and cannot wait to be back!

It’s rare to find a hotel that checks every box but this one is it. We had an absolutely incredible stay here. The service is impeccable and the grounds, spa and pool are so so lovely. If we ever come back there’s no question we’ll be staying here again.

Superb customer service throughout our stay. We had a small, yet comfortable room. Lounge bar is beautifully decorated - the lighting design is very classy. ||High quality restaurant in the main building, with a short walk (1 minute) to Maison Carrier in the renovated farm building which also serves good food. Breakfast in the main building featured a wide range of choices (although whoever does the cooking in the morning needs to learn how to make porridge - it was terrible!).||Good spa area in 'farm'building (sauna/steam room/massage facilities) together with an indoor pool which flows through to the outdoor pool. Relaxing in the outdoor swimming pool looking at the stars and the snow-capped mountains is something I will never forget. ||The complimentary shuttle bus efficiently takes skiers to whichever ski area in Chamonix one wants to go to - a brilliant service.||There was one issue which felt significant at the time (but on reflection not as great as it felt). The general director, Perrine Carrier, sorted the issue out swiftly and without fuss. An excellent example of problem solving - thank you!||One issue that could improve things a little is making it clear when making a hotel reservation to book their restaurants in advance - in other words just because you are staying at the hotel you do not get preferential rights to eat at Albert 1er's restaurants. We received an email shortly before our holiday asking if we wished to make restaurant reservations. We could only secure one reservation at Maison Carrier as otherwise it was fully booked. It took me repeated requests whilst at the hotel to finally (due to a cancellation, I assume) secure a second evening reservation. This was irritating and could easily be resolved =with greater clarity when making the initial hotel reservation.||I'd love to stay at Albert 1er again. Very highly recommended.

Exquisite experience this evening at a true fine dining #French restaurant! Highly recommend you visit #RestaurantAlbert1er if you ever visit #ChamonixFrance in the future! #finedining #culinaryarts #foodie

Hugely overrated. Stuffy, pretentious, overpriced, the young staff is lovely, the senior staff is swarmy. 90 mins of bread, butter and over rich amuse bouche, before real food arrived while they make sure you need more wine by the time the paltry cold portion arrives. The desserts were generous but did not make up for the dinner. The sommelier is a bull dog.

Really nice hotel and super friendly staff. But beware -- the restaurant Albert 1er is terrible!!! Totally overpriced, the food was mediocre at best (the meat was basically gristle, the fish was meh), and the manager Perrine Maillet was stuffy, formal and cold. Strongly recommend against it!

This is an amazing hotel. The service here was outstanding! Room service took less than 10 minutes all 3 times we ordered. Rooms are exceptional and very clean. Has a very nice restaurant and bar. The staff was so nice and extremely helpful during our stay. I HIGHLY recommend this hotel!
