Domaine du Mont d'Arbois, Palace hotel in Mont d'Arbois, Megève, France.
Domaine du Mont d'Arbois is a luxury hotel complex in Megève made up of several chalets, including a second chalet designed by architect Henry Jacques Le Même and a third bought and renovated by Baron Edmond de Rothschild in 1963–1964. The hotel has 51 bedrooms, the restaurant Le 1920, a spa and a heated outdoor swimming pool.
Noémie de Rothschild, wife of Maurice de Rothschild, created the estate as a private chalet for family and friends on 13 January 1924, hiring architect Henry Jacques Le Même to design a second chalet. Baron Edmond Adolphe de Rothschild inherited the chalets, bought a third and renovated it in 1963–1964, then opened it to the public as a hotel in 1979. It remained in the family until Benjamin de Rothschild's death in 2021.
The restaurant Le 1920 on the property serves regional Alpine dishes prepared with local ingredients and refined techniques. Visitors experience local culinary traditions within an elegant setting.
The hotel sits in Megève with easy access to ski slopes and offers transportation services from Bellegarde station. Visitors should expect winding mountain roads during winter conditions and wear comfortable shoes when exploring the expansive grounds.
Noémie de Rothschild founded the chalet on 13 January 1924, partly to avoid wintering beside the German aristocracy in St. Moritz after the hostility of World War I. The architect Henry Jacques Le Même designed a second chalet, and Edmond de Rothschild bought a third before opening the hotel in 1979.
