This chalet-style, upper-middle-range hotel offers a cozy atmosphere and a convenient location for a ski vacation. The hotel is in the heart of Chamonix, an easy walk to a shopping promenade, restaurants, and a train station. A good on-site restaurant, a bar with lounge and terrace seating, and a ski shop add to the convenience. The 124 rooms have an appealing design and flat-screen TV, but that lack air-conditioning in the summer, and not all come with a minibar or balcony. Best Western Plus Excelsior Chamonix Hotel and Spa offers more on-site amenities, including a pool, indoor play area, and spa facilities, though it is removed from the town center.

The 102-room Hotel l’Heliopic is an upscale Chamonix property that eschews the rustic aesthetic found in so many Chamonix hotels for an impeccable combination of Swedish minimalism, retro, and contemporary comforts. Rooms are spacious and stylish, and several have balconies. A stylish on-site spa, sexy indoor pool, and comfortable bar and lounge combine to make this a standout hotel for guests who don’t mind a 10-minute walk to the center of town. Guests looking to stay right in downtown Chamonix should try Grand Hotel des Alpes, which has a more rustic, Alpine vibe at a lower price point.

The 37-room Hotel de l'Arve is a value hotel conveniently located in the heart of Chamonix, yet providing a quiet atmosphere. Lodge-style rooms have underwhelming decor and amenities, but a cozy feel. They include flat-screen TVs, heated towel racks, and free toiletries, but lack air-conditioning, mini-fridges, and safes. Six modern apartments with full kitchens are more appealing. The tasty breakfast (fee) is a good start to the day, while a lovely lounge and pretty courtyard are pleasant spots, especially during the free afternoon tea. On the downside, there's no lunch or dinner service on-site, but plenty of restaurants are nearby. A ski room and heated boot rack add convenience for skiers, while free bikes make it easy to get around town. For a trendier spot, check out Hotel Le Faucigny, featuring a spa and chic decor.

The two-pearl Hotel Le Chamonix’s simple hostel-style setup and central location against the gorgeous backdrop of Mont Blanc attracts mostly backpackers and skiers looking for a convenient and affordable option in the resort village. The 31 rustic rooms are small and simple, but they offer comfortable beds, free Wi-Fi, and beautiful mountain views -- some have balconies. Aside from a buffet breakfast and ski equipment storage, there aren’t many amenities here. The property’s appeal lies more in its proximity to the ski lifts, train station, and village restaurants, all of which are under 10 minutes away on foot. The Mercure Chamonix Les Bossons is further from the village center, but has a full restaurant, a stylish lounge, and an indoor pool.

The 89-room Mercure Chamonix Les Bossons is a modern, upper-middle-range hotel located outside of downtown Chamonix in the French Alps. Rooms are simple and straightforward, but the hotel’s common areas -- particularly its retro-cool lounge -- are stylish. An indoor pool, on-site restaurant, and sauna add value to a stay here, though guests will need to have a car or avail the hotel’s free shuttle to reach downtown Chamonix. Guests looking to stay in town should try La Savoyarde for rates at the same price point, though its rooms have a more home-spun atmosphere and the property lacks a pool.

The three-pearl Le Labrador Hotel is a lovely timber Alpine chalet surrounded by stunning mountain vistas. It's situated right on Chamonix Golf Course, and just a five-minute walk from the Flegere ski lifts. Its 35 comfortable guest rooms have a simple, rustic look, with knotted-wood paneling and faux fur throw pillows topping beds. Most feature balconies, and some add whirlpool tubs and/or wood-burning fireplaces. The property's highlights include priority golf course access, ski amenities and conveniences, and a full-service spa with sauna and hot tub. Breakfast is offered for a fee, but there's no full restaurant on-site (guests can walk to other options on the grounds) or fitness center. It's worth comparing rates at the nearby Hotel Les Lanchers, which has a full restaurant.

The 107-room upscale Les Aiglons Resort & Spa offers spacious, contemporary rooms a 10-minute walk from central Chamonix town. The cable car to Aiguille du Midi, with views of Mont Blanc and the Alps range, is a four-minute walk from the hotel as is the free shuttle bus system around the valley and ski resorts. There are a good on-site restaurant, heated outdoor pool, and kids’ area, but the on-site spa doesn’t live up to four-pearl standards, with unfitting tropical decor and dirty tiles in the steam room. Guests looking to stay in the center of town should try Le Faucigny – Hotel de Charme, which has contemporary rooms and a spa at a similar price point.

The five-pearl Hotel Mont-Blanc is the most luxurious hotel in Chamonix, after a glamorous 2013 renovation that updated the old chalet's interiors. Highlights include a stylish lounge bar, a restaurant serving local market cuisine, an upscale spa, and a heated year-round indoor-outdoor pool and hot tub. The 40 modern rooms have gorgeous mountain views and the hotel's location in the heart of town, near shopping and dining, is another major perk. Travelers looking for similar amenities at less expensive rates should compare with the Hotel l'Heliopic, which is also more kid-friendly.

The 56-room Le Morgane is an upscale boutique hotel that sits just outside the center of Chamonix ski town and combines modern design with Alpine-inspired touches. The on-site Le Bistrot restaurant has a Michelin star, and there’s an indoor pool and a small spa with treatments available. Rooms come with balconies, and some overlook Mont Blanc. The only downside is the lack of air-conditioning in rooms, which can be a problem in the summer, plus many rooms have small bathrooms. Also, the colorfully backlit pool might not suit all tastes and doesn't quite match the rest of the hotel's upscale look. The similarly modern Hotel l'Heliopic has a swankier pool area, but often higher rates.
