Hotel Berthod

I was traveling with a group of hiking friends hiking the TMB. We had a rest day here. I booked a massage at Hotel Berthod with Lorenzo A. After the massage, I discovered he had filmed my massage entirely from the moment I stepped in the door til getting dressed and without consent. He denied this. Such a disgusting, vile act. I have tried contacting authorities from the US but no action has been taken or investigated. Be on the lookout for phone cameras with green lights aglow in private situations. Hotel Berthod refused to take action against the massage therapist either. It’s too bad because Courmayeur is a beautiful city but is now tainted with this memory for me. I was really hoping to report this crime but since the local police are not taking this seriously, I feel it’s important for others to know and to be vigilant while traveling. This experience has shaken me and every time the news reveals more crimes similar to this, I am sickened. My hunch is that I’m not the only one who he has done this to and who knows if it’s gone beyond filming. His activities must be exposed and dealt with.

This is a large family run hotel with an annexe, in the middle of Courmayeur. 2 minutes walk from the pedestrianised Via Roma. There are 2 buildings, the main original hotel and a newer annex across a small access road. There is a tunnel linking them if weather is bad. The main hotel is classic alpine but with a degree of modernity/recent refurbishment. It has a small but well stocked bar. And a pleasant lounge. There is a large lovely breakfast room with great views of the Chetif and main cable. There is easy access from the main road with free parking for about 12 cars and underground parking (reservable) at €20 a day. We had a suite on the top floor, 3 balconies, all with views of the mountains. Lift access. The modern annexe rooms are a bit more spacious. Staff were friendly and fantastic. Mr Berthod makes the tea and coffee in the morning. Best espressos I had all week. Breakfast spread very comprehensive. Our only suggestion - some pictures on the walls of rooms. 10 mins easy walk from main cable car to Plan Checrouit.

Unfortunately, the owners son is now running the hotel, and is simply awful. It’s hard to believe that he’s in the hospitality business. It was his father that created the name for the Croix Blanche and this hotel, and he is running this business into the ground.

Just stayed here for a week of skiing as a family of 5 with two other families, totalling 12 people. The staff are exceptional and went out of their way to help right from the start of booking up to the last day of our holiday. We stayed in rooms on the first floor and all were lovely rooms. Rooms 106 is smaller than the others but still more than adequate. They delivered continental breakfast to the rooms for one family too. The fire pit area outside was a nice touch and greet meeting point and they even served us snacks when we were ordering drinks and sat for a while. The only one thing to be aware of is that the water temperature in the shower is tempremental so watch this with small children as can go from warm to boiling hot or freezing cold. Fab hotel thank you for looking after us

We stayed here for two nights to relax during our Tour du Mont Blanc. Really nice staff, perfect central location, a very comfortable room with a view and a superb breakfast with… fresh fruit! We enjoyed the spa and were happy to be able to use a washing machine. Highly recommended!

We stayed in the hotel relying on the recommendation of friends. They were spot on. Our room was very clean, completely comfortable and in a perfect town center location. The mountain view from our room was majestic. The hotel staff were attentive and took excellent care of us. Of special note is the breakfast. It is simply outstanding. A big selection including a very generous variety of fresh fruits. They offer coffee as well as espresso and cappuccino.
