Le M de Megève

I have had the pleasure (and discomfort) of staying in many Alpine hotels over the years, but now have a new firm favourite! The "M" is pure class, and let's you know it from the moment you walk through the doors, where you are greeted by smiling and attentive staff; each one is friendly and efficient (something never taken for granted when in France), and they literally could not do enough for us, including allowing us the latest of check-outs I have ever had (4:30pm...no charge and no problem!). We were upgraded to a junior suite and as two male friends on a short skiing break, having separate sleeping areas AND 2 bathrooms, was more than a pleasant surprise, it was a friendship-saver! We used the spa every night, and whilst the pool is small, the jets in the jacuzzi were very welcome against aching legs and back and sides and pretty much everywhere! Breakfast was not included in our package, but for Eu28 per person the selection was real value for money with a chef preparing eggs, omelettes, pancakes and a buffet of great cold meats, cheeses and breads. A glass of champagne too was a very welcome start to the day! For the skiing, the Chamois bubble is a 100 yard stroll around the corner, and I would suggest hiring your equipment at one of the three shops by the lift to save a lot of carrying. All in all, this is a fantastic hotel and I do hope to return.
