Fodor's Expert Review Auberge du Manoir

For the feel of an authentic family-run mountain lodge—complete with wood paneling, flower-festooned balconies with delicious mountain views, and a resident golden retriever, this a great choice. As a bonus, it's all within walking distance of the city center. Although on a smaller scale than Chamonix's luxury hotels, this place's cozy lobby, charming rooms, and friendly staff make it a find.
