Both cosy and glamorous, the interiors at Hotel Les Aiglons were designed as an inviting space from which to feel part of the stunning Mont Blanc scenery
Words: Ruth Bell
What makes it special
Les Aiglons is nestled in the heart of the Alps with gorgeous views of the Brévent, Mont Blanc and Aiguille du Midi peaks. The serenity of the Alps has informed the décor of the entire hotel, but can be most particularly be seen in the lounge bar where you’ll find low lighting, warm wood flooring and comfortable rustic green sofas clustered round the roaring fire. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy one of the hotel’s famous cocktails and indulge in a little après ski!
Both the restaurant and every bedroom overlook the snowy pistes, so not only can you wake up to them, you can feast your eyes while you enjoy a delicious breakfast too. What’s more, the bedrooms were designed to reflect the mountain forest outside the window, featuring ochre tones, pale timber and natural materials.
Go for...
The warmest of welcomes from the moment you step into the lobby, both from the friendly staff and the stylish but still homely design of Les Aiglons. It truly is service with a smile and the staff think of everything, whether you’re having a drink in the bar, enjoying the food or relaxing in the spa. And the fabulous treatments are completely dreamy so don’t leave without having one.
Don’t forget...
To visit the Casa Nonna restaurant, where once again the interior design is informed by the rustic alpine surroundings. Dark and mid-tone wood is complemented by comfortable red and grey upholstery and beautiful marble tabletops. Fun touches include red and white tiled walls adorned with vintage posters for Campari and Negroni. A reminder, if it were needed, to sample the delicious food and drink, which will feel well earned after a day skiing or walking in the mountains. One tip: the cheese fondue is to melt for!
