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.

Scene
Classic Alpine chalet that's a magnet for couples who ski and golf
The Le Labrador Hotel has the look of an authentic Savoyard chalet, nestled on a golf course with fantastic views of Mont Blanc and the Aiguille du Midi. Out front, the timber building has white-trimmed windows and wooden balconies, and there are smaller annexes on the property that are similarly rustic. Decor in the lobby follows the same classic style, with tiled floors and a mix of log or rough-hewn wood-paneled walls. It's filled with animal skins, old copper pots, and tools, along with black-and-white wildlife artwork. A wood-burning fire flickers in primitive-looking fireplace, with timber beams and a deer's skull, warming a lounge with thick leather couches and wooden coffee tables near the reception desk. Most guests are couples staying here for the skiing and golfing.
Location
On the golf course, a five-minute walk from ski lifts
The hotel is located on the Chamonix Golf Course, about a five-minute walk from the Flegere ski lifts. It's next door to a restaurant that serves traditional cuisine and Chamonix's town is a 10-minute drive away, where travelers will find a picturesque promenade full of eateries and shops, plus a fun casino and a museum focusing on the history of mountain climbing. There's also a cable car that goes up to Mont Blanc, though the cars can get very crowded. Planards ski area is an eight-minute drive away from the hotel, and the closest airport in Geneva is 90 minutes by car.
Rooms
Rustic rooms with flat-screen TVs and minibars; most have balconies
There same classic chalet decor found in the hotel's common spaces carries over to guest rooms, with a few less bells and whistles. All have knotted-wood-paneled walls, floors that are tiled, wood laminate, or carpeted, and a mix of basic wood furnishings and more contemporary elements. Standard rooms have twin or double beds accented with faux fur throw pillows, and seating areas with armchairs. Most have private furnished balconies with mountain views, though privacy is limited as there are no panels to separate one from the next. Free Wi-Fi comes standard, along with flat-screen TVs and mini-fridges. Some upgraded units have private furnished patios, and rooms and suites feature wood-burning fireplaces, dining tables, and seating areas with couches. Bathrooms are done in basic white tile, but they have heated towel racks, shower/tub combos, and hairdryers. Some contain attractive glass vanities and whirlpool tubs.
Features
Full-service spa and adjacent 18-hole golf course, plus a bar with a pool table

The full-service spa is another highlight, with a full menu of treatments like massages and scrubs, and there's a sauna, Turkish bath, and hot tub in a rustic room with windows facing Mont Blanc.
