Auberge du Bois Prin
Chamonix, France
On the sunny hillside above Chamonix, Auberge du Bois Prin makes the mountain view central to a stay. Its rooms and suites have gardens or balconies, with stone and wood keeping the interiors firmly Alpine. The restaurant draws on seasonal local produce and its kitchen garden, making dinner a reason to stay in. A sauna and outdoor hot bath add comfort after walking. Choose it for an intimate base above town, with a terrace rather than a busy lobby.
