Hotels near Chambéry-Savoie Airport - CMF, Chambéry

If you call your hotel L’Incomparable you are setting yourself up for a fall. This is an expensive hotel with high aspirations. Unfortunately, some things are not quite right. Our room was a designer piece on the second floor with a mountain view. However, we were stunned to see no shower in the huge bathroom. Instead, we were provided with a free-standing central bath with a hand-held shower-head. There was nowhere to put soap or shampoo. A beautiful-looking bathroom that just does not work! Dinner is a ‘surprise’ menu of 5 or 7 courses but obviously no information was provided as to what might be served. This not only made choosing wine difficult but also threw up a problem when the one meat course was offered (there was a lot of fish) and no-one had asked about the desired cuissance. We found the meat too rare for our taste. On the positive side, the meal courses featured many locally-grown vegetables and herbs and the multi-lingual staff were charming in explaining the dishes on offer. The hotel is expensive (€20 for a gin and tonic) and in our opinion does not really provide full value for money. It is certainly not incomparable!
