The small and friendly Hotel de l’Arve has an enviable situation in the heart of Chamonix yet set back from the main street in a quiet location overlooking the River Arve. The ski bus stops just 50m away on the main street and just across the river is Chamonix’s excellent sports centre with large indoor pool, jacuzzi, ice rink. Surrounded by restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets your only problem will be which one to chose whether it’s a great value French menu, a pizza in the adjacent pizzeria, a value burger, or a gourmet meal in a Michelin starred restaurant. The hotel will be happy to advise you and make your dinner reservation if you wish. The welcoming bar and adjacent lounge are very comfortable and great for après ski drinks. The south facing terrace faces Mont Blanc and an good spot from which to contemplate your next day’s skiing.
