The upper-middle-range Best Western Plus Excelsior Chamonix Hotel & Spa has a scenic, removed location overlooking the French Alps. The hotel isn't within walking distance of the town or ski slopes, but guests get free bus and train passes. Split between two buildings, the 79 rooms have a simple design and come with flat-screen TVs, kettles, and minibars, but no air-conditioning. Some have furnished balconies with lovely mountain views. An outdoor heated pool with panoramic views is open in the summer, while a small spa with a hot tub and massage treatment rooms is available year-round. An upscale French restaurant and bar with a terrace are on-site, and a ski shop, kids' play room, and free Wi-Fi round out amenities. For a more central setting, consider Auberge du Manoir, which also has more charming rooms.

Hotel Le Faucigny is a lovely three-pearl hotel in central Chamonix that's a haven for young skiers and snowboarders. This 28-room boutique property has views of Mont Blanc from its terrace, and the local ski shuttle is a three-minute walk away. Contemporary mountain lodge interiors are in line with the regular guests that stay here -- trendy, vibrant, and young. However, rooms are best for light travelers, as floor plans range from small to tiny, though all include free Wi-Fi and flat-screen TVs. There is a spa and bicycles are free, and breakfast and tea are served in the charming lounge. Travelers who want features like a restaurant and kids' services at similar rates should consider the Mercure Chamonix, though it lacks the boutique charm.
