Being an alpine retreat, the hotel is most popular during the winter snow season. Still, it’s equally delightful (and a lot emptier) during summertime when the surrounding meadows become awash with wildflowers. \nMy deluxe twin room at Four Seasons Megève\nPopular with French and Swiss holidaymakers, Four Seasons Megève also attracts international guests despite the nearest airport being a 70-minute drive away in Switzerland’s Geneva.\nWhat’s the vibe at Four Seasons Megève?\nIt’s a pretty polished affair all around, aside from the lengthy check-in (more on that below). The driveway allows guests to pull up right outside the hotel’s main entrance, where polished glass doors slide open to reveal an expansive lobby with majestic views right across the peaks. The hotel was fairly quiet for the duration of my two-night stay. There were a couple of families with young children, while the rest of the guests seemed to be couples or friends.\nClockwise from top left: Four Seasons Megève entrance, one of the hotel's lounges, the view from my bedroom, and artwork by Zoé Ouvrier\nThe vibe was extremely relaxed, and staff members were very attentive, especially at the outdoor pool. I loved that communal walls throughout the hotel were covered in art; my favorite pieces included a hand-dyed ceremonial sarong from Timor, a painting by the French artist\nThierry Bruet\n, and an incredible engraved knarled tree by\nZoé Ouvrier\n. Furniture throughout is sumptuous and cozy with quirky retro egg chairs and sheepskin-covered stools adding to the alpine chalet feel. Glass bell jars, coffee table books, and sculptures inspired by nature all add interest.\nHow are the rooms at Four Seasons Megève?\nI spent two nights in a prestige twin room with a friend. While the room wasn’t huge, it was spacious enough for two, and the beds were larger than singles. Decorated in a color palette of cream, light fawn, and ecru, the room design was fairly simple but luxurious, with beautiful views from the double doors and private wooden terrace. There was plenty of wardrobe space in an entrance hallway as you entered the room, and all of the mod cons you’d expect from a five-star hotel, including a coffee machine and minibar. We were gifted Panama-style hats, a tasty galette-type cake, and local chocolate. The bathroom was super spacious with a deep bathtub (and incredible view), Japanese-style toilet, double washstand, and a large shower cubicle with\nCodage\nproducts.\nWhat is there to eat and drink?\nBar Edmond is the hotel’s chalet-style bar with a sweeping terrace where we enjoyed pre-dinner cocktails. I ordered the Botaniste Sour, a delightful blend of gin, bergamot liquor, basil syrup, lime, and egg white. And while it was on par with some of the\nbest cocktails in London\n, the price was a slightly eyewatering $28 (£22). An alpine negroni, interesting-sounding celery blend, and a flute of champagne with peach puree were also listed on the menu.\nClockwise from top left: Botaniste Sour at Bar Edmond, sushi at Kaito, a selection of breakfast items, and enjoying a glass of rosé by the outdoor pool\nOn the first night of our stay, we also dined in Bar Edomnd, where the menu is inspired by local ingredients. To start, we shared French cheese and charcuterie boards, which were generous in size and delicious, but my main of cod served with pea ragout was quite tiny and left me wanting more. Unfortunately, the rum baba dessert we shared didn’t quite live up to expectations with its heavy texture and lack of flavor.\nKaito, the hotel’s Japanese fusion restaurant, which is where we decided to dine for our second night, really did impress with an incredible tasting menu that took us on a 12-course journey through Asia. Culminating in tender wagyu beef, we also sampled reblochon cheese tempura, seabass sashimi, spicy tuna rolls, and wagyu gyozas. It’s in the same dining space as Kaito that breakfast is served each morning, where a large selection of fruits, cheeses, and sublime, freshly made croissants awaits. Guests can also order sweet and savory dishes from the menu. Comprising poke bowls and small plates, fresh and satisfying food is also served by the outdoor pool along with cocktails, wine, and champagne.\nAny highlights?\nThe immaculate, serene spa and the treatments on offer there are highly impressive and a real highlight of the hotel. I booked in for ‘A Walk Through Megève’—a soothing 90-minute massage that used decadent oils and balms to awaken my senses and send me into a state of bliss.\nThe hotel's spa boasts an incredible swimming pool\nThe spa also organized a brilliant meditation session where we were encouraged to be present in the moment and fully relax while taking in the splendor of the surrounding countryside.\nTaking a horse-drawn carriage to get a view Mont Blanc\nOne afternoon, we were whisked off by horse-drawn carriage to view the mighty Mont Blanc. Although\nthe hotel\narranged this for us, it is easy enough to arrange it yourself from the nearby commune of Megève.\nAny improvements?\nDrinks by the pool are served in plastic glasses for obvious reasons, but there’s nothing worse than sipping champagne or chilled rosé from a plastic cup—completely a first-world problem but worth mentioning if you’re going to be ordering a pricy poolside tipple. And for my stay, check-in was an extremely drawn-out process despite there being two staff members behind the desk upon arrival. It seemed neither had the capacity to check us in, meaning we were waiting close to 40 minutes before being shown to our room. Sure, it’s not a huge problem, but for the price of staying at Four Seasons Megève, I would expect much better service, especially after a morning of travel to get to the resort.\nFollow\n@fsmegeve","attrs_markdown":"# [LYDIA TRAVELS](https:\/\/www.lydiatravels.com\/)\nCITY GUIDES \\| TRAVEL TIPS \\| HOTEL REVIEWS \\| TRAVEL NEWS\n\n- [CITY

I booked in for ‘A Walk Through Megève’—a soothing 90-minute massage that used decadent oils and balms to awaken my senses and send me into a state of bliss.\n\n|   |\n|---|\n| [![View of the swimming pool at Four Seasons megeve in the french alps](https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhmR6WiL0sZhKPv-Jwe95uWSr2K_gemThzG8g9cSpy7sKLPrnEp-zysnaVAS-4EVzzuR1Zx2-a32M1Yk7rhBdR0GKakBbYL4LZamgQ6YMAWxgWvJZ_2xIntyg_pq3ZrDmOtSPT40UsATfoeW8AJ8ZwpbaB_9ejetytiOmq4hERbth15FuHnHxhR8vm_GkqY\/s16000\/FourSeasonsMegeve2.jpg)](https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhmR6WiL0sZhKPv-Jwe95uWSr2K_gemThzG8g9cSpy7sKLPrnEp-zysnaVAS-4EVzzuR1Zx2-a32M1Yk7rhBdR0GKakBbYL4LZamgQ6YMAWxgWvJZ_2xIntyg_pq3ZrDmOtSPT40UsATfoeW8AJ8ZwpbaB_9ejetytiOmq4hERbth15FuHnHxhR8vm_GkqY\/s2723\/FourSeasonsMegeve2.jpg) |\n| The hotel's spa boasts an incredible swimming pool |\n\nThe spa also organized a brilliant meditation session where we were encouraged to be present in the moment and fully relax while taking in the splendor of the surrounding countryside.\n\n|   |\n|---|\n| [![A view of a road in the French Alps taken from a horse drawn carriage near the commune of megeve](https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEh_6oQVVyA8lOvOnmWZ-FrZfOqJGifSi6KSe5p4_PKMedF08Nl3ABPTjEYcSGVf3Vi2Tgs9aKauiPUW3DHwhj1SiEmsPOebjuDvq-IDMy_tdV4YUo3ABRtXL80LzxzMsfDX_sT-BprtI9EofUbisf4cC9cwEzsQKNL2LzA2XvUeB1xkhfuZ8acRtmMvJ2_4\/s16000\/FourSeasonsMegeve5.jpg)](https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEh_6oQVVyA8lOvOnmWZ-FrZfOqJGifSi6KSe5p4_PKMedF08Nl3ABPTjEYcSGVf3Vi2Tgs9aKauiPUW3DHwhj1SiEmsPOebjuDvq-IDMy_tdV4YUo3ABRtXL80LzxzMsfDX_sT-BprtI9EofUbisf4cC9cwEzsQKNL2LzA2XvUeB1xkhfuZ8acRtmMvJ2_4\/s3024\/FourSeasonsMegeve5.jpg) |\n| Taking a horse-drawn carriage to get a view Mont Blanc |\n\nOne afternoon, we were whisked off by horse-drawn carriage to view the mighty Mont Blanc. Although [the hotel](https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/megeve\/) arranged this for us, it is easy enough to arrange it yourself from the nearby commune of Megève.\n\n### Any improvements?\nDrinks by the pool are served in plastic glasses for obvious reasons, but there’s nothing worse than sipping champagne or chilled rosé from a plastic cup—completely a first-world problem but worth mentioning if you’re going to be ordering a pricy poolside tipple. And for my stay, check-in was an extremely drawn-out process despite there being two staff members behind the desk upon arrival. It seemed neither had the capacity to check us in, meaning we were waiting close to 40 minutes before being shown to our room. Sure, it’s not a huge problem, but for the price of staying at Four Seasons Megève, I would expect much better service, especially after a morning of travel to get to the resort.\n\nFollow [@fsmegeve](https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/fsmegeve\/tagged\/?hl=en-gb)\n\nWant To Read Some More?\n#### Post a Comment\n\n[prev](https:\/\/www.lydiatravels.com\/2024\/04\/maya-mohanlal-interview.html \"Newer Post\")  [next](https:\/\/www.lydiatravels.com\/2025\/12\/whats-best-season-to-visit-frankfurt.html \"Older Post\")\n\nSubscribe to: [Post Comments (Atom)](https:\/\/www.lydiatravels.com\/feeds\/6904365037789528914\/comments\/default)\n\n## Profile\nWelcome to Lydia Travels, a place for travel tips, hotel reviews & city guides from all over the world...\n\n[more](https:\/\/www.lydiatravels.com\/p\/about.html)\n\n## Favourites\n- [The most beautiful temples in India, from intricate & ancient carvings to pure gold covered structures After spending over six months traveling through India it is without a doubt one of my favorite and most traveled countries, I return again ...](https:\/\/www.lydiatravels.com\/2023\/03\/the-most-beautiful-temples-in-india.html)\n- [Breathtaking beaches in Barbados—11 astonishing spots from rugged and mysterious Bathsheba to the picture-perfect white sands of Gibbes Bay Over the last few years, I’ve fallen head over heels in love with the Caribbean.

The driveway allows guests to pull up right outside the hotel’s main entrance, where polished glass doors slide open to reveal an expansive lobby with majestic views right across the peaks. The hotel was fairly quiet for the duration of my two-night stay. There were a couple of families with young children, while the rest of the guests seemed to be couples or friends.\n\n|   |\n|---|\n| [![A montage of photos from Fours Seasons Megeve, Clockwise from top left: Four Seasons Megève entrance, one of the hotel's lounges, the view from Lydia Swinscoe's bedroom, and artwork by Zoé Ouvrier](https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgtr_AKvUq1hPJqYowQWdCBL3ECErIVhWWCoRgo_ftxEHAB9em8Y9a8YJ8Bt2qRzaJbRKjGUbeYQHaWxp3FlpsE5X7UMqVWj1Nkt09UTPx4XNCuOJmxbbTnzyKlok5hqDOgy0RDOa9KjHcRMlfoWMLYnlxHlt5NEHefn1LSxnalKJlQ9syOHdCzdQ4IHA72\/s16000\/Four%20Seasons%20Megeve%20montage%20.jpg)](https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgtr_AKvUq1hPJqYowQWdCBL3ECErIVhWWCoRgo_ftxEHAB9em8Y9a8YJ8Bt2qRzaJbRKjGUbeYQHaWxp3FlpsE5X7UMqVWj1Nkt09UTPx4XNCuOJmxbbTnzyKlok5hqDOgy0RDOa9KjHcRMlfoWMLYnlxHlt5NEHefn1LSxnalKJlQ9syOHdCzdQ4IHA72\/s1080\/Four%20Seasons%20Megeve%20montage%20.jpg) |\n| Clockwise from top left: Four Seasons Megève entrance, one of the hotel's lounges, the view from my bedroom, and artwork by Zoé Ouvrier |\n\nThe vibe was extremely relaxed, and staff members were very attentive, especially at the outdoor pool. I loved that communal walls throughout the hotel were covered in art; my favorite pieces included a hand-dyed ceremonial sarong from Timor, a painting by the French artist [Thierry Bruet](https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thierry_bruet\/?hl=en), and an incredible engraved knarled tree by [Zoé Ouvrier](https:\/\/zoeouvrier.com\/). Furniture throughout is sumptuous and cozy with quirky retro egg chairs and sheepskin-covered stools adding to the alpine chalet feel. Glass bell jars, coffee table books, and sculptures inspired by nature all add interest.\n\n### How are the rooms at Four Seasons Megève?\nI spent two nights in a prestige twin room with a friend. While the room wasn’t huge, it was spacious enough for two, and the beds were larger than singles. Decorated in a color palette of cream, light fawn, and ecru, the room design was fairly simple but luxurious, with beautiful views from the double doors and private wooden terrace. There was plenty of wardrobe space in an entrance hallway as you entered the room, and all of the mod cons you’d expect from a five-star hotel, including a coffee machine and minibar. We were gifted Panama-style hats, a tasty galette-type cake, and local chocolate. The bathroom was super spacious with a deep bathtub (and incredible view), Japanese-style toilet, double washstand, and a large shower cubicle with [Codage](https:\/\/www.codageparis.com\/) products.\n\n### What is there to eat and drink?\nBar Edmond is the hotel’s chalet-style bar with a sweeping terrace where we enjoyed pre-dinner cocktails. I ordered the Botaniste Sour, a delightful blend of gin, bergamot liquor, basil syrup, lime, and egg white. And while it was on par with some of the [best cocktails in London](https:\/\/www.lydiatravels.com\/2023\/04\/best-cocktails-in-london.html), the price was a slightly eyewatering \\$28 (£22). An alpine negroni, interesting-sounding celery blend, and a flute of champagne with peach puree were also listed on the menu.\n\n|   |\n|---|\n| [![Photo montage of the food and drinks on offer at Four Seasons Megeve hotel.

To start, we shared French cheese and charcuterie boards, which were generous in size and delicious, but my main of cod served with pea ragout was quite tiny and left me wanting more. Unfortunately, the rum baba dessert we shared didn’t quite live up to expectations with its heavy texture and lack of flavor. Kaito, the hotel’s Japanese fusion restaurant, which is where we decided to dine for our second night, really did impress with an incredible tasting menu that took us on a 12-course journey through Asia. Culminating in tender wagyu beef, we also sampled reblochon cheese tempura, seabass sashimi, spicy tuna rolls, and wagyu gyozas. It’s in the same dining space as Kaito that breakfast is served each morning, where a large selection of fruits, cheeses, and sublime, freshly made croissants awaits. Guests can also order sweet and savory dishes from the menu. Comprising poke bowls and small plates, fresh and satisfying food is also served by the outdoor pool along with cocktails, wine, and champagne.\n\n### Any highlights?\nThe immaculate, serene spa and the treatments on offer there are highly impressive and a real highlight of the hotel.

Boilerpipe Text	• Rating: 10/10 • Rooms at Four Seasons Megève start from $634 (£498) per night As much as I try to avoid huge hotel chains, usually opting for independently owned artistic retreats like Mexico’s Casa Etérea and London’s The Mandrake over large-scale corporations, there’s something special about this one. Being an alpine retreat, the hotel is most popular during the winter snow season. Still, it’s equally delightful (and a lot emptier) during summertime when the surrounding meadows become awash with wildflowers. My deluxe twin room at Four Seasons Megève Popular with French and Swiss holidaymakers, Four Seasons Megève also attracts international guests despite the nearest airport being a 70-minute drive away in Switzerland’s Geneva. What’s the vibe at Four Seasons Megève? It’s a pretty polished affair all around, aside from the lengthy check-in (more on that below). The driveway allows guests to pull up right outside the hotel’s main entrance, where polished glass doors slide open to reveal an expansive lobby with majestic views right across the peaks. The hotel was fairly quiet for the duration of my two-night stay. There were a couple of families with young children, while the rest of the guests seemed to be couples or friends. Clockwise from top left: Four Seasons Megève entrance, one of the hotel's lounges, the view from my bedroom, and artwork by Zoé Ouvrier The vibe was extremely relaxed, and staff members were very attentive, especially at the outdoor pool. I loved that communal walls throughout the hotel were covered in art; my favorite pieces included a hand-dyed ceremonial sarong from Timor, a painting by the French artist Thierry Bruet , and an incredible engraved knarled tree by Zoé Ouvrier . Furniture throughout is sumptuous and cozy with quirky retro egg chairs and sheepskin-covered stools adding to the alpine chalet feel. Glass bell jars, coffee table books, and sculptures inspired by nature all add interest. How are the rooms at Four Seasons Megève? I spent two nights in a prestige twin room with a friend. While the room wasn’t huge, it was spacious enough for two, and the beds were larger than singles. Decorated in a color palette of cream, light fawn, and ecru, the room design was fairly simple but luxurious, with beautiful views from the double doors and private wooden terrace. There was plenty of wardrobe space in an entrance hallway as you entered the room, and all of the mod cons you’d expect from a five-star hotel, including a coffee machine and minibar. We were gifted Panama-style hats, a tasty galette-type cake, and local chocolate. The bathroom was super spacious with a deep bathtub (and incredible view), Japanese-style toilet, double washstand, and a large shower cubicle with Codage products. What is there to eat and drink? Bar Edmond is the hotel’s chalet-style bar with a sweeping terrace where we enjoyed pre-dinner cocktails. I ordered the Botaniste Sour, a delightful blend of gin, bergamot liquor, basil syrup, lime, and egg white. And while it was on par with some of the best cocktails in London , the price was a slightly eyewatering $28 (£22). An alpine negroni, interesting-sounding celery blend, and a flute of champagne with peach puree were also listed on the menu. Clockwise from top left: Botaniste Sour at Bar Edmond, sushi at Kaito, a selection of breakfast items, and enjoying a glass of rosé by the outdoor pool On the first night of our stay, we also dined in Bar Edomnd, where the menu is inspired by local ingredients. To start, we shared French cheese and charcuterie boards, which were generous in size and delicious, but my main of cod served with pea ragout was quite tiny and left me wanting more.

Kaito, the hotel’s Japanese fusion restaurant, which is where we decided to dine for our second night, really did impress with an incredible tasting menu that took us on a 12-course journey through Asia. Culminating in tender wagyu beef, we also sampled reblochon cheese tempura, seabass sashimi, spicy tuna rolls, and wagyu gyozas. It’s in the same dining space as Kaito that breakfast is served each morning, where a large selection of fruits, cheeses, and sublime, freshly made croissants awaits. Guests can also order sweet and savory dishes from the menu. Comprising poke bowls and small plates, fresh and satisfying food is also served by the outdoor pool along with cocktails, wine, and champagne. ### Any highlights? The immaculate, serene spa and the treatments on offer there are highly impressive and a real highlight of the hotel. I booked in for ‘A Walk Through Megève’—a soothing 90-minute massage that used decadent oils and balms to awaken my senses and send me into a state of bliss. \| \| \|---\| \| [![View of the swimming pool at Four Seasons megeve in the french alps](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmR6WiL0sZhKPv-Jwe95uWSr2K_gemThzG8g9cSpy7sKLPrnEp-zysnaVAS-4EVzzuR1Zx2-a32M1Yk7rhBdR0GKakBbYL4LZamgQ6YMAWxgWvJZ_2xIntyg_pq3ZrDmOtSPT40UsATfoeW8AJ8ZwpbaB_9ejetytiOmq4hERbth15FuHnHxhR8vm_GkqY/s16000/FourSeasonsMegeve2.jpg)](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmR6WiL0sZhKPv-Jwe95uWSr2K_gemThzG8g9cSpy7sKLPrnEp-zysnaVAS-4EVzzuR1Zx2-a32M1Yk7rhBdR0GKakBbYL4LZamgQ6YMAWxgWvJZ_2xIntyg_pq3ZrDmOtSPT40UsATfoeW8AJ8ZwpbaB_9ejetytiOmq4hERbth15FuHnHxhR8vm_GkqY/s2723/FourSeasonsMegeve2.jpg) \| \| The hotel's spa boasts an incredible swimming pool \| The spa also organized a brilliant meditation session where we were encouraged to be present in the moment and fully relax while taking in the splendor of the surrounding countryside. \| \| \|---\| \| [![A view of a road in the French Alps taken from a horse drawn carriage near the commune of megeve](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_6oQVVyA8lOvOnmWZ-FrZfOqJGifSi6KSe5p4_PKMedF08Nl3ABPTjEYcSGVf3Vi2Tgs9aKauiPUW3DHwhj1SiEmsPOebjuDvq-IDMy_tdV4YUo3ABRtXL80LzxzMsfDX_sT-BprtI9EofUbisf4cC9cwEzsQKNL2LzA2XvUeB1xkhfuZ8acRtmMvJ2_4/s16000/FourSeasonsMegeve5.jpg)](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_6oQVVyA8lOvOnmWZ-FrZfOqJGifSi6KSe5p4_PKMedF08Nl3ABPTjEYcSGVf3Vi2Tgs9aKauiPUW3DHwhj1SiEmsPOebjuDvq-IDMy_tdV4YUo3ABRtXL80LzxzMsfDX_sT-BprtI9EofUbisf4cC9cwEzsQKNL2LzA2XvUeB1xkhfuZ8acRtmMvJ2_4/s3024/FourSeasonsMegeve5.jpg) \| \| Taking a horse-drawn carriage to get a view Mont Blanc \| One afternoon, we were whisked off by horse-drawn carriage to view the mighty Mont Blanc. Although [the hotel](https://www.fourseasons.com/megeve/) arranged this for us, it is easy enough to arrange it yourself from the nearby commune of Megève. ### Any improvements? Drinks by the pool are served in plastic glasses for obvious reasons, but there’s nothing worse than sipping champagne or chilled rosé from a plastic cup—completely a first-world problem but worth mentioning if you’re going to be ordering a pricy poolside tipple. And for my stay, check-in was an extremely drawn-out process despite there being two staff members behind the desk upon arrival. It seemed neither had the capacity to check us in, meaning we were waiting close to 40 minutes before being shown to our room. Sure, it’s not a huge problem, but for the price of staying at Four Seasons Megève, I would expect much better service, especially after a morning of travel to get to the resort.

Readable Markdown	*• Rating: 10/10* *• Rooms at Four Seasons Megève start from \$634 (£498) per night* As much as I try to avoid huge hotel chains, usually opting for independently owned artistic retreats like Mexico’s [Casa Etérea](https://www.lydiatravels.com/2024/01/casa-eterea-review-mexico-mirror-house-san-miguel-de-allende.html) and London’s [The Mandrake](https://www.lydiatravels.com/2022/10/the-mandrake-hotel-review-mysterious.html) over large-scale corporations, there’s something special about this one. Being an alpine retreat, the hotel is most popular during the winter snow season. Still, it’s equally delightful (and a lot emptier) during summertime when the surrounding meadows become awash with wildflowers.

It’s a pretty polished affair all around, aside from the lengthy check-in (more on that below). The driveway allows guests to pull up right outside the hotel’s main entrance, where polished glass doors slide open to reveal an expansive lobby with majestic views right across the peaks. The hotel was fairly quiet for the duration of my two-night stay. There were a couple of families with young children, while the rest of the guests seemed to be couples or friends. \| \| \|---\| \| [![A montage of photos from Fours Seasons Megeve, Clockwise from top left: Four Seasons Megève entrance, one of the hotel's lounges, the view from Lydia Swinscoe's bedroom, and artwork by Zoé Ouvrier](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtr_AKvUq1hPJqYowQWdCBL3ECErIVhWWCoRgo_ftxEHAB9em8Y9a8YJ8Bt2qRzaJbRKjGUbeYQHaWxp3FlpsE5X7UMqVWj1Nkt09UTPx4XNCuOJmxbbTnzyKlok5hqDOgy0RDOa9KjHcRMlfoWMLYnlxHlt5NEHefn1LSxnalKJlQ9syOHdCzdQ4IHA72/s16000/Four%20Seasons%20Megeve%20montage%20.jpg)](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtr_AKvUq1hPJqYowQWdCBL3ECErIVhWWCoRgo_ftxEHAB9em8Y9a8YJ8Bt2qRzaJbRKjGUbeYQHaWxp3FlpsE5X7UMqVWj1Nkt09UTPx4XNCuOJmxbbTnzyKlok5hqDOgy0RDOa9KjHcRMlfoWMLYnlxHlt5NEHefn1LSxnalKJlQ9syOHdCzdQ4IHA72/s1080/Four%20Seasons%20Megeve%20montage%20.jpg) \| \| Clockwise from top left: Four Seasons Megève entrance, one of the hotel's lounges, the view from my bedroom, and artwork by Zoé Ouvrier \| The vibe was extremely relaxed, and staff members were very attentive, especially at the outdoor pool. I loved that communal walls throughout the hotel were covered in art; my favorite pieces included a hand-dyed ceremonial sarong from Timor, a painting by the French artist [Thierry Bruet](https://www.instagram.com/thierry_bruet/?hl=en), and an incredible engraved knarled tree by [Zoé Ouvrier](https://zoeouvrier.com/). Furniture throughout is sumptuous and cozy with quirky retro egg chairs and sheepskin-covered stools adding to the alpine chalet feel. Glass bell jars, coffee table books, and sculptures inspired by nature all add interest. ### How are the rooms at Four Seasons Megève? I spent two nights in a prestige twin room with a friend. While the room wasn’t huge, it was spacious enough for two, and the beds were larger than singles. Decorated in a color palette of cream, light fawn, and ecru, the room design was fairly simple but luxurious, with beautiful views from the double doors and private wooden terrace. There was plenty of wardrobe space in an entrance hallway as you entered the room, and all of the mod cons you’d expect from a five-star hotel, including a coffee machine and minibar. We were gifted Panama-style hats, a tasty galette-type cake, and local chocolate. The bathroom was super spacious with a deep bathtub (and incredible view), Japanese-style toilet, double washstand, and a large shower cubicle with [Codage](https://www.codageparis.com/) products. ### What is there to eat and drink? Bar Edmond is the hotel’s chalet-style bar with a sweeping terrace where we enjoyed pre-dinner cocktails. I ordered the Botaniste Sour, a delightful blend of gin, bergamot liquor, basil syrup, lime, and egg white. And while it was on par with some of the [best cocktails in London](https://www.lydiatravels.com/2023/04/best-cocktails-in-london.html), the price was a slightly eyewatering \$28 (£22). An alpine negroni, interesting-sounding celery blend, and a flute of champagne with peach puree were also listed on the menu. \| \| \|---\| \| [![Photo montage of the food and drinks on offer at Four Seasons Megeve hotel.

I booked in for ‘A Walk Through Megève’—a soothing 90-minute massage that used decadent oils and balms to awaken my senses and send me into a state of bliss. \| \| \|---\| \| [![View of the swimming pool at Four Seasons megeve in the french alps](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmR6WiL0sZhKPv-Jwe95uWSr2K_gemThzG8g9cSpy7sKLPrnEp-zysnaVAS-4EVzzuR1Zx2-a32M1Yk7rhBdR0GKakBbYL4LZamgQ6YMAWxgWvJZ_2xIntyg_pq3ZrDmOtSPT40UsATfoeW8AJ8ZwpbaB_9ejetytiOmq4hERbth15FuHnHxhR8vm_GkqY/s16000/FourSeasonsMegeve2.jpg)](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmR6WiL0sZhKPv-Jwe95uWSr2K_gemThzG8g9cSpy7sKLPrnEp-zysnaVAS-4EVzzuR1Zx2-a32M1Yk7rhBdR0GKakBbYL4LZamgQ6YMAWxgWvJZ_2xIntyg_pq3ZrDmOtSPT40UsATfoeW8AJ8ZwpbaB_9ejetytiOmq4hERbth15FuHnHxhR8vm_GkqY/s2723/FourSeasonsMegeve2.jpg) \| \| The hotel's spa boasts an incredible swimming pool \| The spa also organized a brilliant meditation session where we were encouraged to be present in the moment and fully relax while taking in the splendor of the surrounding countryside. \| \| \|---\| \| [![A view of a road in the French Alps taken from a horse drawn carriage near the commune of megeve](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_6oQVVyA8lOvOnmWZ-FrZfOqJGifSi6KSe5p4_PKMedF08Nl3ABPTjEYcSGVf3Vi2Tgs9aKauiPUW3DHwhj1SiEmsPOebjuDvq-IDMy_tdV4YUo3ABRtXL80LzxzMsfDX_sT-BprtI9EofUbisf4cC9cwEzsQKNL2LzA2XvUeB1xkhfuZ8acRtmMvJ2_4/s16000/FourSeasonsMegeve5.jpg)](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_6oQVVyA8lOvOnmWZ-FrZfOqJGifSi6KSe5p4_PKMedF08Nl3ABPTjEYcSGVf3Vi2Tgs9aKauiPUW3DHwhj1SiEmsPOebjuDvq-IDMy_tdV4YUo3ABRtXL80LzxzMsfDX_sT-BprtI9EofUbisf4cC9cwEzsQKNL2LzA2XvUeB1xkhfuZ8acRtmMvJ2_4/s3024/FourSeasonsMegeve5.jpg) \| \| Taking a horse-drawn carriage to get a view Mont Blanc \| One afternoon, we were whisked off by horse-drawn carriage to view the mighty Mont Blanc. Although [the hotel](https://www.fourseasons.com/megeve/) arranged this for us, it is easy enough to arrange it yourself from the nearby commune of Megève. ### Any improvements? Drinks by the pool are served in plastic glasses for obvious reasons, but there’s nothing worse than sipping champagne or chilled rosé from a plastic cup—completely a first-world problem but worth mentioning if you’re going to be ordering a pricy poolside tipple. And for my stay, check-in was an extremely drawn-out process despite there being two staff members behind the desk upon arrival. It seemed neither had the capacity to check us in, meaning we were waiting close to 40 minutes before being shown to our room. Sure, it’s not a huge problem, but for the price of staying at Four Seasons Megève, I would expect much better service, especially after a morning of travel to get to the resort.
