PRESS PACK FIVE-STAR HOTEL AND RESTAURANT IN
Five-Star Hotel and Restaurant in Megève, France pre s s pa ck A Family History In 2006, the Zannier family purchased the property from the French chef, Marc Veyrat, who had run it as a gourmet restaurant since 1999. After extensive renovations of the two existing chalets and the building of the third chalet, the official opening was in December 2011. Since then, the hotel has been run only during the winter months. The rest of the year, the complete property can be rented out for special private events. Arnaud Zannier, son of Roger Zannier, is the visionary behind the hotel project. Initially and still active in the textile sector (Groupe Zannier), the family decided to enter this new area of business out of a passion for hospitality. Ten years after starting and managing his own shoe brand (n.d.c. made by hand products), he initiated the Megève project. He was also in charge of all renovations, as well as architectural and interior design decisions. The property’s unique style thus reflects Arnaud Zannier’s vision of modern sophisticated hospitality. The materials used are authentic, but very natural and unfinished. Almost all the decorative items and furniture are antiques, collected from around Europe. Further hotel projects are under development in Asia and the Mediterranean. 367, route du Crêt - 74120 Megève - france / t. + 33 (0) 4 50 21 01 01 www.lechaletzannier.com / reservation@lechaletzannier.com Megève and the Mont-Blanc Region Megève is located in the Haute-Savoie department in the Mont-Blanc region of the French Alps. The village is a popular ski and summer destination due to its beautiful valley, authentic chalet village, exclusive shopping and culinary offerings, as well as its proximity to Geneva Airport (one hour by car). The village became famous through the Rothschild family who designated it in the 1920s as a French alternative to Saint-Moritz. Today, Megève is still a prime destination for the French and international jetset. The hotel is conveniently located five minutes from the village centre (casino and shops) by walking, as well as two minutes’ car drive from the main ski slopes. The Hotel The hotel property consists of three separate chalets and is spread over an area of about 5,000 m2. 12 unique suites and rooms offer a total capacity of 28 beds. Many of the rooms can be communicating, thus offering a unique space for families or groups of friends. The property can easily be sectioned off, allowing it to function as a hotel or a private chalet, but it always remains a unique hideaway. Since the opening, the hotel has been officially ranked as a five-star. 367, route du Crêt - 74120 Megève - france / t. + 33 (0) 4 50 21 01 01 www.lechaletzannier.com / reservation@lechaletzannier.com Other offerings at the hotel: restaurant & wine bar “La Ferme de Mon Père” – named in reference to the famous restaurant of Marc Veyrat in 1999, and the connection with the Zannier family (father-son, Roger-Arnaud), the restaurant is today run by the young French chef, Julien Burlat. As a childhood friend of Arnaud Zannier, Julien Burlat shares his appreciation of simple and tasty yet refined cuisine. Julien Burlat uses local as well as regional products, with all dishes and ingredients freshly prepared each day. Open only in the evenings, the menu offers a choice of meat, fish and vegetarian à la carte dishes as well as a to-share menu, served family-style in cocottes.
