Les Grands Montets Hôtel & Spa hosts seminars, team retreats and weddings for up to 100 guests in Argentière, the village at the head of the Chamonix valley, with 39 bedrooms and suites, two meeting rooms and a wellness area on site. The four-star hotel stands about 200 meters from the slopes of the Grands Montets ski area.
Seminars and company events
The hotel suits residential seminars of one to three days, when a team wants to work in the morning and spend the afternoon outdoors. Both meeting rooms have daylight, wood-paneled walls, a video projector and a whiteboard. The smaller room is free all day, while the larger one also serves breakfast and is therefore available from noon, which fits a schedule of morning sessions in the small room and afternoon plenaries in the large one.
Activities can be booked through the hotel: snowshoe outings, off-piste skiing with a guide, dog sledding, cooking classes and an inflatable planetarium. After the sessions, groups can use the indoor pool, the sauna and the steam room, the bar with its fireplace and pool table, the terrace and the garden.
Weddings and receptions
The hotel sells weddings and private events. The banquet room seats up to 100 guests, with a dance floor and a lounge bar around a fireplace. Ceremonies can take place in the garden, which faces Mont Blanc, and a tent can be set up there to receive more guests. The hotel can also arrange a brunch the next day, indoors or in the garden, and works with local partners for flowers and shuttles.
Rooms and capacities
The Mont Blanc room covers 60 square meters, holds up to 100 people and looks over Mont Blanc and the private garden. It is available from noon. The Grands Montets room covers 30 square meters, holds up to 30 people and faces the Grands Montets and the car park. It is available all day. The garden can host a ceremony and, with a tent, a larger reception.
Accommodation
The hotel has 39 bedrooms and suites, in standard, superior with mountain view, junior suite, duplex and suite categories. A group of 30 to 40 can therefore stay together under one roof. The wellness area includes a 10 by 5 meter indoor pool, a sauna, a steam room, an outdoor hot tub, a relaxation room, a massage room and a fitness room.
