Le M de Megève

The centrally located Me de Megève brings a sexy factor to the hotel offerings in the classic, glamorous ski resort town.

• The Duplex Suites, ideal for families.
• The lobby, complete with a buzzy bar area and fun, chic décor throughout.
• The pool, sauna and spa area, which are all tastefully done.

Built as a three-star hotel in the 1980s, the property that is now Le M de Megève underwent a massive renovation in 2014, which resulted in a dramatic—and effective—rebranding. The overhaul included expanding the lobby area to include cozy fireplace-centered nooks, an excellent bistro restaurantand floor-to-ceiling picture windows that look out onto a courtyard. The clientele is a great mix of couples and families, but does tend to appeal most to a younger crowd, as there is always a fun, buzzy scene going on in the lobby.

Forty-two rooms (including 25 suites) are outfitted with pine wood–paneled walls, orange and gray Arpin bed covers and leather headboards. The look is masculine, stylish and cozy. Rooms are not huge, so for those who like to spread out, we recommend booking a junior suite or higher room category. The duplex suites are a fun option for families, as kids will love having their beds on a separate floor, under the eaves.

The all-day dining M’s Bistro, located in the lobby, has pale gray wool upholstered banquettes and serves French alpine comfort food like cheese and charcuterie platters. The gastronomic M’s Dining Room is open only for dinner and has a set menu presented in a Moleskin notebook, and diners are encouraged to sketch their experiences in the remaining blank pages.

There is a small but lovely spa with an indoor pool, Jacuzzi, gym, sauna and hammam. Treatments utilize Cinq Mondes products, and the après-ski massage is a specialty.
