The historic five-star Les Chalets du Mont d’Arbois in the French Alpine village of Megève has been reborn as a Four Seasons experience following a €10m restoration.
This cosy 41-room hotel offers an exceptional opportunity to enjoy Alpine ambience with easy access to the valley’s numerous leisure activities.
“We are delighted to continue our partnership with the Rothschild family as we celebrate the opening of a second Four Seasons in Megève,” says Christian Clerc, Four Seasons’ president of global operations.
“For decades the village and surrounding mountains have been a favoured getaway for lovers of the outdoors. Now we are pleased to enhance the experience even further with this reinvention of a much-loved classic, introducing a new era of luxurious sophistication.”

Both Four Seasons hotels, and indeed Megève itself, are the legacy of the Edmond de Rothschild family.
The meticulous restoration and refurbishment of Les Chalets du Mont d’Arbois was personally overseen by Ariane de Rothschild, chairwoman of the Board of the Edmond de Rothschild Group, in collaboration with designer Pierre-Yves Rochon, famed for his interior design of the Hotel George V in Paris.
With three unique buildings to choose from, guests may enjoy a stay that suits their personal style, whether in the classic luxury and refined atmosphere of Chalet Noémie, the bohemian chic of Chalet Alice, or the more traditional Chalet Eve.
Both Chalet Alice and Chalet Noémie are available for exclusive buyouts. And next season, Les Chalets du Mont d’Arbois will unveil the three-bedroom Suite Idéal, high up in the mountain wilderness but still fully serviced by Four Seasons.
Les Chalets du Mont d’Arbois is also home to Prima, the Michelin-starred restaurant helmed by Chef Nicolas Hensinger and overseen by Executive Chef Julien Gatillon of Michelin two-starred Le 1920, located within sister property Four Seasons Hotel Megève.
Additional on-site facilities include a welcoming lobby lounge and bar; a spa with treatment rooms, hammam, sauna and indoor/outdoor relaxation areas; a heated indoor-outdoor swimming pool; and in winter, a skating rink adjacent to Chalet Eve. Guests of both properties enjoy seamless access to all facilities, including preferred seating at restaurants, signing privileges, and transfers.
Chalet Noemie boasts classic luxury and a refined atmosphere
In Megève, just 70 minutes by car from Geneva in Switzerland, you will find international luxury boutiques, interesting art galleries, and a wide variety of restaurants and bars including several Michelin-starred establishments, as well as picturesque Alpine architecture, small churches and cobblestoned streets.
“We suggest a tour via horse-drawn carriage, bundled up in blankets while you take pictures of the village and surrounding mountains,” says hotel manager Joachim Jacob. “Or, the historic Calvary Path is a lovely trail to hike or cycle, unique to Megève.”
Minutes from the village and hotel, the Alps beckon with some of Europe’s best skiing as well as snowboarding, ice skating, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and much more.
In celebration of its opening, a Grand Debut offer features a 20 per cent savings on the regular room rate when booked by 5 April .
