The Grand Hôtel Soleil d’Or belongs to the French group BMF, which undertook the complete renovation of this historic establishment, completed at the end of 2019.

Founded in 1901, the Grand Hôtel Soleil d’Or is the first hotel in Megève, long before the resort became a world-renowned alpine destination. It was completely renovated in 2019 while keeping its Savoyard soul.

Yes, it is a 5-star establishment and a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, combining contemporary elegance with traditional Savoyard charm.

The hotel is ideally located at the entrance to the village of Megève, at 255 rue Charles Feige, a few steps from the cobbled lanes, the shops and the resort’s ski slopes. Once you have settled in, everything can be done on foot.

The Grand Hôtel Soleil d’Or draws its identity from its status as Megève’s first hotel, opened in 1901. Its values are alpine tradition, authenticity, excellence and closeness: passing on the village’s history and know-how through attentive, personalised hospitality, in the spirit of a family home. This local anchoring is also reflected in its regional cuisine, which celebrates Savoyard produce and expertise.

Megève is a four-season destination: the slopes of the Évasion Mont-Blanc area and its 450 km of ski terrain bring winter to life, while hiking, golf, mountain biking and cultural activities take over in summer.

Alpine skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing are all accessible directly from Megève, renowned for its slopes suited to every level in the heart of the Évasion Mont-Blanc area.

In summer, Megève is best explored on foot, by bike or from the air. Trails range from the easily accessible viewpoint at Croix des Salles to the more athletic routes of the Grande Croisse Baulet, including the Belle au Bois waterfall, reached by a pleasant river trek along the stream. Enthusiasts enjoy the 18-hole Mont d’Arbois golf course, mountain biking, fishing and picnics at the emerald-blue Lac de Javen, or an alpine pasture lunch facing Mont Blanc. To gain some height, paragliding and hot-air balloon flights offer a different view of the valley.

Among the pastries, the wild blueberry tart from our mountains takes centre stage, alongside the Tahitian vanilla flan, the chocolate and Piedmont hazelnut entremets or the Savoy sponge cake.
