Flocons de Sel hotel - Relais & Châteaux

Hi we were lucky enough to stay in the cosy apartment above the bistro and cave in the centre of Megeve Village. It was such a lucky find! Cosy, with a lovely fireplace and minutes from the Chamois gondola. The Flocons de Sel hotel couldn' t have been more helpful, great communication and nothing was too much trouble. The bistro even helped us out with some fresh garlic and an extension lead when we had friends over for a raclette. The only thing that could have made it better were a few extra items in the apartment. A broom, some more kitchen utensils etc. and also a guide to how to use the oven? If there is anyway of adding a toilet to the downstairs bathroom that would make it perfect. Also it would be helpful if it was more clear that the 2nd bedroom is only suitable for under 12's. Or if the trundle was replaced with a full sized single bed. Wasn't a problem for us as the sofa bed in the living room was super comfy. Also I think the TV should be a smart TV so we could cast movies etc as sometimes a family after a long day skiing may want to just snuggle up and watch a movie. A TV in the master bedroom would also be great. Like I said I loved this place, these would just make it even better!

We had asked to shorten our stay because we had had an emergency but it had been refused, we had not asked for a price reduction when we made our reservation but this refusal had hurt us. Very nice hotel with very nice rooms and above all an excellent restaurant but we would have liked to have been able to go there twice but when we made our reservation we had only made a reservation for the restaurant and a 2nd time had also been refused to us,

This is a delightful place in stunning surroundings. Impeccable service at the well-appointed and comfortable hotel. The Eggs Benedict at breakfast were by some margin the best I have ever had. Unfortunately the restaurant was not open and the only gripe was the service at the bistro in town where the service was disappointing: unfriendly and very slow (3 hours is a long time in a bistro with eternal waits between finishing each course and being attended to). The food was superb but as we were having a belated intimate meal to celebrate my daughter’s 18th it was not as memorable as hoped. The spa treatments at the hotel are excellent and we greatly enjoyed the Nordic Bath. The rooms are very comfortable indeed and we much appreciated the small touches on arrival as well as the consistently outstanding service from the staff at the hotel. Many thanks for a wonderful short break.

My mother and I had two dinners and spent one night at Flocons de Sel during our trip to Megeve. The hotel was very cozy and intimate and the chef and hostess Renaut were very hospitable and attentive. The three hour meals at the gastronomic restaurant were wonderful, with the lamb, arctic charr, and soufflé dishes among the most memorable, and when coupled with generous wine pairing and hospitable and attentive services, as well as the great view out to the snowing Rhone Alpes was simply too beautiful, and hard to beat. As for the hotel, it is a modern chalet that offers a great view out from the terrace, and had a wood-burning fireplace in the room. The hotel also had a heated floor, which was a first in Europe for me. The jacuzzi and swimming pool were also well situated in a picturesque setting. and might I add I had one of the most beautifully cooked omelette I had in years during a simple but very delicious breakfast. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and looking forward to another opportunity to come back. thank you.

The restaurant was one of the best 3 star Michelin restaurants we have eaten at, with some fantastic dishes - pike mousse stays in the mind especially. The vibe is a ski lodge, with open fire etc. The owners - chef and wife - and staff were attentive and engaging. The room had a large bath and shower and very comfortable bed. A great stay

We had a fantastic stay at Flocons de Sel. We have nothing but great reviews. The Superior room is spacious and has a beautiful chalet-like design. The bed is comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was strong (not always available even at 5-star hotels). The fireplace is a great add to the room and wood was always refilled when the room was cleaned. The lobby area, which was just outside our room, is spacious, beautifully decorated. and a great place to have pre- and post-dinner drinks next to a big fireplace. The lobby area felt like a living room extension to our room. Quality of the food and the service at the restaurant is also great. We were even able to get room service one night and eat it in the lobby area which also has tables. It felt like a private a dinner experience. The indoor pool is a great place to relax after a day of skiing. The pool has a comfortable water temperature and convenient underground access from the main hotel lobby. You don’t have to step outside in the cold to get to the pool from your room. While the hotel is located outside of Megeve village (5-10min drive), it made our stay feel more like an alpine and relaxing experience. The hotel also offers shuttle to/from Megeve downtown (in a nice Audi Quattro e-tron) which is a very convenient service for going to dinner in town. Finally, the hotel staff was professional, very friendly and helpful. We had everything taken care of (ski passes, ski rentals, dinner reservations in town, etc.). With only 6 rooms in the hotel, there are more staff than guests in the hotel. It truly felt like we were special guests. Overall, the quality of our stay was excellent. We would definitely come back!
