All of the 31 guest bedrooms are decorated in a style typical of the region, using lots of natural wood and sturdy furnishings.

Most of them also have a balcony or terrace with lovely views over the lake and the Grande Motte Glacier. The majority of rooms can sleep 2-4 people but there are also some larger duplex suites available that can accommodate up to 6.
There is a homely atmosphere present throughout the hotel with natural wood and stone features creating an authentic alpine ambience. The cosy living room features a large fireplace and various family pictures and memorabilia from across the generations.
