Park Hotel Suisse & Spa stands at 75 allée du Majestic, in the centre of Chamonix at about 1,042 metres, directly in front of the tourist office and some fifty metres from the shuttle buses that serve the ski slopes. It is a four-star hotel of 68 rooms, in Comfort, Superior and Standard categories as well as suites and family rooms, and most have a balcony and a mountain view. The big draw is the spa on the sixth floor, which has a 360 degree panorama, an outdoor terrace, a heated outdoor pool and a hot tub, two saunas, a hammam, a sensory shower, two treatment rooms and a relaxation room. A rooftop bar sits alongside, and there is a fitness centre. The hotel has a bar that serves light meals daily, and breakfast is available, but there is no full restaurant, so you eat out in town in the evening.
Location and getting around
You could not be better placed for a lift-and-town holiday. The bus stop for the valley ski areas is a minute away, the main square and the pedestrian streets are close, and the Aiguille du Midi cable car and the Brévent lift are within an easy walk. An underground garage with electric car charging is available for a nightly fee, and places are limited, so reserve with the hotel in advance. The railway station is also within a short walk, which helps if you arrive from Geneva by bus or train.
The rooms and the feel
The style is modern mountain, with wood, calm colours and large windows. Rooms facing the mountains cost more than those facing the town, and a balcony makes a big difference in summer. Family rooms and suites suit groups, and the hotel is popular with ski parties in winter.
The spa is the main reason to choose it over a plain central hotel: a rooftop pool with Mont Blanc and the Aiguille du Midi in view at the end of a ski day, or at dawn in summer, is hard to beat. Spa treatments need to be booked.
Good to know
The hotel works on a seasonal pattern, opening for the winter ski season and closing or running a reduced service in the off season, so confirm your dates before you book. Weekdays in the off season may have limited desk hours. The street can be lively in high season, so ask for a higher floor or a quiet side.
Pet policy is not clear, so ask before you travel with a dog. It suits couples, groups of friends and ski holidays, and is less suitable for travellers who want a hotel restaurant or a garden. Book early for Christmas and February.
