A family hotel since 1903

The Hameau Albert 1er is the Carrier family's hotel: Joseph and Lydie Carrier built the Albert 1er building in 1903, and today it is a five-star member of the Relais & Châteaux group. It is not a single building but a small hamlet, as its name says: the original hotel, three Savoyard farmhouses rebuilt from old timber and several chalets in a garden, on route du Bouchet, a five-minute walk from the centre and very close to the Montenvers train station. It is the choice for a special trip, car-free, with the town at hand and the massif in front.

Rooms, farmhouse and chalets

The Albert 1er building has 21 rooms and suites, from the small 20 m² room overlooking the garden to the 40 m² Luxe rooms with a fireplace and a balcony facing Mont Blanc. In the farmhouse there are Luxe and Prestige rooms of 40 to 47 m², with garden access or a balcony onto the massif, and a 70 m² apartment designed for families, with two bedrooms. For groups and families there are two large suites, the Blaitière, 90 m² with a fireplace, whirlpool bath and private hammam, and the Martine, a 150 m² duplex. And if you want a house of your own, two independent chalets: the Grépon, 48 m² with a wood-burning stove and a bunk room, and the Soli, an 80 m² Savoyard chalet for six, with a private sauna and terrace.

Spa and restaurants

The Bachal Spa has a heated indoor and outdoor pool, jacuzzi, hammam and sauna, and treatments; the pool and jacuzzi are for guests only. There are two restaurants: the Table Albert 1er, with one Michelin star, which serves dinner from 19:15 to 21:00 and is closed Wednesday and Thursday, with tasting menus at €178 and €205; and the Maison Carrier, serving Savoyard cooking, Wednesday to Sunday. The QuartzBar serves cocktails.
