Polar Sweetness

Echoing the immaculate white of the mountain peaks, the spa at the Hôtel Mont-Blanc is entirely monochromatic: painted granite walls and faux fur—it feels as if you’re brushing against a glacier. Softness and serenity go hand in hand. White also envelops the hotel’s lounges, where a boldly embraced vintage 1950s–1960s vibe prevails: Vallauris ceramics, custom-made or antique furniture upholstered in white wool—the elegance is as soft as it is sophisticated. In a couture style that is both chic and welcoming, the Hôtel Mont-Blanc reinterprets the mountains, as seen in the light, finely crafted wood paneling on the walls, engraved with quotes by Jean Cocteau, whose elegant aura still lingers here.
