High luxury and cutting-edge design are available in the Alps, but they don’t often come together under one roof. La Folie Douce in Chamonix is the rare exception: a Belle Époque beauty boasting over 250 rooms and suites, five restaurants, a heated outdoor pool, and a well-equipped spa and gym, all redesigned in a sophisticated contemporary style. It’s more family-oriented than you might expect from such a chic hotel, with an extensive range of kids’ club offerings, and during the winter sports season, you’ll appreciate the fact that the nearest cable car is just a few steps away.
