Hôtel Les Aiglons is at 270 avenue de Courmayeur, close to the Aiguille du Midi cable car and the middle of Chamonix. It is a spacious, relaxed place with a heated outdoor pool, a hot tub, a sauna and a hammam in the Deep Nature Spa, a garden and terrace, a library and a bar, plus Casa Nonna, the Italian restaurant. There is a games room, a kids' area and karaoke rooms, which makes it unusually good for families and groups. Practical touches include an on-site ski shop, free bicycle rental, ski storage, laundry and a front desk that works around the clock.
Location and getting around
The Aiguille du Midi cable car is about three minutes on foot, the Brévent cable car about twelve, and the church and the shopping centre around twelve minutes as well. The Montenvers train and the railway station are on the same side of town. You can walk to most things, and the valley bus handles the ski areas. Covered parking costs a daily fee, spaces are limited and it is best to reserve, and an airport shuttle and babysitting can be arranged for a surcharge.
The rooms and the feel
Rooms are described as classic and superior, with balcony options facing Mont Blanc, the Brévent or the garden, plus attic rooms under the roof, junior suites and a Mont Blanc suite. The style is comfortable and traditional, and the hotel's strength is its range of amenities for the price tier.
Buffet breakfast costs extra, with a lower rate for children, and the restaurant keeps limited hours, so check at the desk about lunch and dinner. The pool is the main draw in summer, and the spa makes a good rest-day choice in winter.
Good to know
The booking page shows no seasonal closure, which makes it a safer choice than some neighbours in the off season, but confirm dates when you book. It suits families, groups of friends and anyone who wants facilities and a central position without the top-tier price. Choose a Mont Blanc view or a balcony if you want the outlook, ask for a quiet room on the garden side if you are a light sleeper, and book early for Christmas and the February holidays, when the town fills up.
