About this stay
The Hotel des Lacs has been a Chamonix fixture since 1930, offering a warm, family-friendly welcome through all seasons. Its location, just a short distance from the bustling centre of Chamonix and close to the serene Lake Gaillands, provides a peaceful retreat with easy access to the region's ski slopes and mountain trails. The recently renovated guestrooms ensure a comfortable stay, with some rooms designed to capture the beauty of the surrounding natural landscape.

Our take
Hotel des Lacs is a two-star I would choose near Chamonix for a family-run mountain stay: open since 1930, 23 recently renovated rooms, a terrace with a Mont Blanc view and easy ski access, 1.5 kilometres from the centre near Lake Gaillands. A guest score of 8.6 across about 370 reviews is strong. It is simple and quiet, so I would not expect a spa or a pool.
- ✓Take advantage of the hotel's location near Lake Gaillands for a peaceful walk or picnic.
- ✓Enjoy a drink on the sunny terrace; the Mont Blanc views are particularly special in the late afternoon.
- ✓Use the Wi-Fi to plan your daily excursions to the nearby ski slopes or hiking trails.

Why guests love itI would recommend Hotel des Lacs to families who like a small, family-run mountain hotel. It has been open since 1930 and welcomes guests in winter and summer. It stands 1.5 kilometres from Chamonix centre, near Lake Gaillands, with easy ski access. All 23 rooms were recently renovated, and some have views of the surroundings.
