This December 2025, a bold alpine fairy tale by Luke Edward Hall and Chapitre Six, blending colour, folklore and charm
A New Chapter in the Heart of Megève
This winter, the story of Megève gains a flamboyant new chapter. On December 2025, the doors of Hotel Saint-Georges swing open once more, revealing not just a renovation, but a reinvention. Conceived by Chapitre Six — the creative force behind La Ponche in Saint-Tropez and Le Bus Palladium in Paris — and Luke Edward Hall, Britain’s most romantic designer, this legendary chalet transforms into a theatrical and intimate refuge that feels plucked from a dream.
Set at the quiet end of Megève’s pedestrian street, steps from the ski lifts, the hotel balances old-world alpine charm with a dash of eccentric British storytelling. Here, the mountains meet myth; velvet meets wood; and every corner feels like a page from an art-filled novel.
Luke Edward Hall’s Alpine Dream
Few designers could stage a mountain scene quite like Luke Edward Hall. Known for his bold use of colour, hand-painted murals and whimsical imagination, Hall brings to the Alps what he brought to Hotel Les Deux Gares in Paris — a sense of living within a story.
At Saint-Georges, that story unfolds through:
- Alpine frescoes adorning the walls like a winter fairytale
- Vivid wallpapers in shades of forest green and berry red
- Eclectic antiques sourced from across Europe
- And those signature Hall details — sketched faces, mythic motifs, and an unapologetic joy in layering.
The result? A mountain chalet that feels like the home of an artist-poet, where every object has a tale to tell.
A House Lived in Like a Novel
With just 24 rooms and 5 suites, many opening onto balconies that frame the snow-covered peaks or the village’s bell tower, Hotel Saint-Georges is built for quiet indulgence. Each space feels like a scene in a play — some cosy and fire-lit, others radiant with morning light — all united by a sense of lived-in luxury.
La Table du Trappeur
A mountain bistro where generous dishes meet easy laughter. Think comforting classics, alpine cheeses, and local wines — a love letter to convivial dining.
The Piano Bar
Soft jazz by day, electric spirit by night. Perfect for après-ski cocktails or late-night storytelling by the fire.
The Wellness Area
A soothing sanctuary dedicated to contrast therapy — with sauna, hot and cold baths, and bespoke massages for the alpine-weary traveller.
The Games Room & Library
For explorers of all ages — a space where vintage board games share shelves with travel books and mountain folklore.
The Sunlit Terrace
A golden refuge between two seasons, where summer rosé meets winter cocoa, and the rhythm of Megève unfolds around you.
