Alice Suite with spa access, Les Chalets du Mont d'Arbois & Spa, Megève, Les Chalets du Mont d'Arbois & Spa, Megève, Megève

A suite with the proportions of a private chalet apartment

At 85 m², the Alice Suite is built for four and designed to be lived in rather than passed through. This is not a standard alpine room stretched to fit a family: it is one of five suite categories at Les Chalets du Mont d'Arbois carrying its own name, its own spa access, and furniture drawn from the de Rothschild family's private collection. Choosing the Alice Suite means choosing a room with history already in its joinery, not a recent renovation dressed up for the season.

The space and flow

The 85 m² footprint is organized around one bedroom, one bathroom, and a distinct seating area, giving the suite a clear separation between where you sleep and where you gather. A sofa bed extends the sleeping capacity to four, making the layout workable for a family or a couple traveling with a child, without turning the main bedroom into a shared dormitory. The windows and the balcony and terrace bring the outside into the daily rhythm of the suite, rather than confining the view to a single pane of glass.

Design and finishes

Expect traditional alpine joinery and historic furniture rather than hotel-standard fittings: pieces pulled from a family's own collection, set against a domestic rather than corporate register. The bathroom is private and fully equipped, with both bath and shower, free toiletries, shampoo, body soap, bathrobe, and slippers. Bedding is considered in the same spirit, with a choice of feather, non-feather, and hypoallergenic pillows, and linens finished to match the room's register of quiet comfort. Soundproofing keeps the suite insulated from the rest of the chalet, reinforcing the sense of a private apartment rather than a hotel room.

The view and outdoors

Both a balcony and a terrace are attached to the suite, giving two distinct ways to step outside: a shorter threshold for morning air, and a fuller outdoor space for lingering. The window orientation brings a view into the room itself, so the alpine setting remains present even when you are seated on the sofa rather than standing outside.

Exclusive privileges

The Alice Suite includes direct access to the Suzanne Kaufmann spa, a privilege reserved for the property's five suite categories. This means the heated indoor pool, held between 28 and 31°C, and the limited-capacity treatment rooms are reached without crossing through the full public circulation of the hotel, preserving the same restraint that defines the suite itself.

Who is this for?

You are traveling with your partner and a child or grandchild, and you need one room that still offers a proper, separate place to sit after the slopes rather than a bed to collapse onto. You are planning a multi-generational week in Megève and want a base with its own terrace, so the children can be heard but not constantly supervised in a single room. You are here for a wellness-led stay and want the spa to feel like an extension of your suite, not a separate booking across the hotel.

La Suite's verdict

The Alice Suite earns its place among the five spa-access categories through sheer livability: 85 m² is enough to host a family without negotiation over space, and the direct spa link removes the friction of treating wellness as a separate errand. What stays with you is the plainer detail, the non-feather and hypoallergenic pillow options sitting alongside the feather ones, a small sign that this suite was fitted for real households, not a styled photograph. For a Megève stay built around slow mornings, spa afternoons, and a terrace to decompress on, this is among the more convincing suites on the estate.
