Chalet Hibou, Chamonix

Description

In the shadow of Mont Blanc stands Chalet Hibou, a luxury ski chalet in Chamonix that seamlessly blends traditional good looks with contemporary style. The wooden building is typically Alpine but, once inside, Chalet Hibou, Chamonix is all about the contemporary comforts and colourful, modern style.

In the main living space, huge floor-to-ceiling windows allow the light to flood into this south-facing property and frame the amazing views of the Mont Blanc range from Chalet Hibou, Chamonix. The mountains feel ever-present here – it’s hard to tear your gaze away – and they provide an ever-changing backdrop through the day, whether you’re breakfasting on the terrace, lounging on the sofas or gathered around the dining table. This whole open-plan area is a really sociable space to enjoy, warmed by a roaring fire in winter, and opening out onto the terrace in summer. Here you’ll also find outdoor living and dining spaces as well as a barbecue to allow you to make the most of the space in good weather.

But there are plenty of places to escape to for some quiet as well, from the snug TV room upstairs, to the cosy bar area where you can relax with a book and a drink. And, of course, when you return from the mountain each afternoon, the spa is the perfect spot to restore body and soul, soothing any aches in the sauna and enjoying a relaxing soak in the swimming pool with its outstanding mountain views, while allowing yourself to be gently pummelled by the jet streams.

Each of the bedrooms is styled with your total relaxation in mind, with luxury bed linens as well as fluffy robes, towels and slippers for a bit of boutique hotel luxury. Designed to offer a quiet, calm feel, you’ll find you relax as soon as you close the door each evening and fall into bed.

Each afternoon, tea, cakes and pastries will be waiting to welcome you back to your chalet. On six nights of the week, your chef will whip up a gourmet four-course meal, which you’ll enjoy with wines carefully selected to complement each dish.

There’s a fully stocked bar, providing premium spirits, beers and soft drinks for your stay, too, and, as you would expect, you’ll be welcomed with champagne and canapés on your arrival.
