Suite with Balcony, Megève Bois Relais & Châteaux, Demi-Quartier, Megève Bois - Relais & Châteaux, Demi-Quartier

A 55 m² suite built around its balcony

The Suite with Balcony occupies 55 m², a figure that reads modestly until you understand what it contains: two full bedrooms, one bathroom, and a balcony positioned to catch either the garden or the mountain, depending on where in the house you land. At Megève Bois, a property that counts only twelve rooms and suites in total, this allocation of space signals a deliberate choice rather than a default. You are not renting a room with a view. You are occupying a self-contained footprint, with a seating area that functions as a buffer between the two bedrooms and a desk that turns one corner into a workspace if the mountain outside is not yet ready for you.

The space and flow

Two bedrooms sit at either end of the 55 m², separated by a seating area that absorbs the daily friction of a shared stay: a parent reading while a child sleeps, a couple dividing the morning before the slopes. Hardwood and parquet floors run through the suite, grounding the volume in a material that reads warm underfoot, a detail that matters in a mountain property where guests move between snow and interior often in the same hour. Upper floors in this house are accessible by stairs only, a point worth noting if your stay depends on direct lift access. The single bathroom is built for shared use without compromise: a bath and a separate shower, free toiletries replenished daily, and the full range of bathrobes and slippers expected of a house at this level.

Design and finishes

The bathroom carries its own small ritual: shampoo, conditioner, body soap and a shower cap sit alongside the expected toiletries, and the tub exists as a separate proposition from the shower, letting you choose the pace of the evening. A wardrobe or closet handles the practical business of a multi-day stay, while a flat-screen TV with streaming access and pay-per-view channels keeps the suite functional after dark. A minibar and a tea and coffee maker mean the suite can sustain itself for a slow morning before the restaurant downstairs opens its doors.

The view and outdoors

The balcony is the suite's organizing idea. Outdoor furniture and an outdoor dining area extend the interior onto it, and depending on orientation, the outlook opens onto garden or mountain, with landmark view also listed among the suite's outlooks. In a twelve key house where balconies are a defining feature precisely because there are so few to distribute, this one earns its place: a space to take coffee standing, or to sit through the last light before dinner at Restaurant #1.

Who is this for?

You are traveling with one other couple or with your two children, and you need two bedrooms under one roof rather than two separate reservations. You want a balcony that is yours alone, not a shared terrace at the end of a corridor. You are staying several nights and want a seating area and desk that let you work or wind down without retreating fully to the bedroom.

La Suite's verdict

Among the four suite categories at Megève Bois, this is the rational choice for anyone traveling as two or four who wants genuine separation between sleeping areas without the full scale of the Presidential Suite. The balcony, fitted with real outdoor furniture rather than a token railing, is the detail that justifies the category. The parquet underfoot, cool and solid even in winter, is the kind of micro-detail that confirms the house's restraint was never about austerity.
