Fantastic hotel, highly recommend
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

We can't say enough about the Grand Hotel Des Alpes.
Centrally located in town, so made it easy to visit local shops and phenomenal restaurants (e.g. Atmosphere, Rose de Pont and Matafan, all highly recommended).
Skiing to each of the 4 resorts was made easy through the hotels shuttle service. Picks you up at the hotel and drops you off at the slopes. Then returns you. Both to and from are on a schedule you decide. Staff was amazing. Little positives like sweets in the early afternoon and savory snacks in the late afternoon were a very nice surprise.
We will always stay here when visiting Chamonix.

Great spot to stay in Chamonix
Lovely view from the room / balcony of Mont Blanc. However, the balcony was tiny - only fit 1 chair, but still nice to have as a solo traveler. Staff was courteous and room was clean.

Wonderful
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.

Very nice hotel great location. However I booked a brevant view room that was on the noisy Main Street - I’d book a room on other side.
Breakfast was not great for 30 euros. But lovely hotel
