Apartment in the Historic Ancien Hôtel du Mont Joly
Step into a piece of Saint-Gervais history with this unique and character-filled apartment, set within the walls of the town’s oldest hotel — the Ancien Hôtel du Mont Joly. Located on the prestigious Avenue du Mont-Paccard, just a short stroll from the heart of the village, this heritage building is a true architectural gem, reflecting the Alpine evolution of tourism, mountaineering, and thermalism in the 19th century.
The space
Converted into a private residence in 1947, the building retains its grandeur and historic soul — with high ceilings, elegant architraves, and original French windows.
The Apartment – Second Floor with Balcony & Mountain Views
Nestled on the second floor (please note, no elevator due to the building’s heritage), this spacious apartment welcomes you into a wide, elegant hallway with console table, lamp, and mirror — setting the tone for a graceful stay.
Kitchen & Dining
To the left, a generously proportioned kitchen is fully equipped with an electric hob, full-size oven, under-counter fridge, dishwasher, and ample cupboard space. You'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay, including an air fryer, microwave, kettle, crockery, cutlery, and a selection of glassware. A dining table for four sits beside a large window offering views across the hillside, while a mobile wooden unit provides extra workspace.
Living Room
The lounge area is pure Alpine charm: original features, soaring ceilings, and two large leather sofas invite you to relax after a day exploring. Sit back and relax watching the TV or open the French and sit on the private balcony, perfect for morning coffee or a glass of wine while enjoying the view up to the town and surrounding peaks.
In summer, a wicker seating set is provided to enjoy the outdoors in comfort.
Two Beautiful Bedrooms
The first bedroom, just off the kitchen, features sanded wooden floors, a classic wooden double bed, elegant chandelier, large wardrobe, and console. Shutters and heavy drapes frame the tall window, offering privacy and old-world warmth.
The second bedroom enjoys direct access to the balcony. With a chic metal-framed double bed, chandelier, wardrobe, and reading lamp, this is a serene space to unwind. A small bistro-style patio set on the balcony provides the ideal perch to watch the world go by.
Bathroom & Facilities
The tiled bathroom includes a power shower with 8 massage jets, wash basin, mirrored wall cabinet with storage, and WC. A top-loading washing machine is discreetly housed in a cupboard alongside cleaning supplies — making longer stays easy and comfortable.
