The Hôtel Eden is a charming small hotel offering private rooms, suites and deluxe apartments situated in the picturesque village of Le Praz, which is around five minutes drive or 25 minutes walk from the centre of Chamonix.

Le Praz sits at the bottom of the Flégère cable-car/ski area, is home to the 18-hole golf course and is a superb base to start mountain-biking or hiking from. The hotel itself has a stylishly furnished modern interior, and consists of 12 rooms plus 2 family suites, all en suite, modern, newly renovated and non smoking - plus stunning views.

Should further accommodation be required the Hotel Eden now offers superb apartments next door to the hotel, available as self-catered or as part of a half-board package dining in their excellent restaurant. Overall the hotel is well suited to couples, families and to corporate groups alike.

Perhaps one of the most important 'features' of the hotel is its restaurant, which has a well-deserved favourable reputation. The food, having a modern French feel, is impeccably presented by the chef and is one of the best options in the valley for vegetarians. Of course there is also a fine selection of wines to choose from. The restaurant is open to non-residents and is both suitable for an intimate meal or a larger group booking (with reservation).

As an 'active' hotel the Hotel Eden also puts together a number of packages which make arranging your holiday much easier. Examples include: arranging airport transfers, ski-hosts to show you the areas, shuttle service to and from the pistes, nanny services, cycling (and transportation!) tours around the area and beyond, and any other local activity you can think of.

Look out for the special offers, ski and golf weekends, and romantic breaks the owners put together for you. All these elements go together to make the Hotel Eden a popular and fine choice of location to enjoy a break in the valley.
