The Hotel Albert Premier has just been awarded 5 stars by the hotel inspectors APAVE, a company accredited by the French State. There are apparently 240 criteria required to meet this classification, eg rooms of at least 20m2. The hotel passed the test with flying colors, following the visit of an undercover inspector. Le Hameau Albert Premier is the first 5-star establishment in the Chamonix valley, and the sixth in Haute Savoie.
