Polar Softness

Echoing the immaculate whiteness of the peaks, the Hôtel Mont-Blanc spa is entirely monochrome: painted granite walls, faux fur – it feels like brushing against a glacier. Softness and serenity combined. White has also covered the hotel's lounges, where a boldly embraced 50s-60s vintage breeze blows: Vallauris ceramics, bespoke or vintage furniture draped in white wool – the elegance is as soft as it is sophisticated. In a couture style that is both chic and snug, the Hôtel Mont-Blanc reinterprets the mountains, like the light, finely worked panelling on the walls, inscribed with phrases by Jean Cocteau, whose elegant aura still lingers here.
