Since his
most tender childhood, Jean-Sebastien Beslay, owner of the hotel, has spent his
holidays in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, in both summer and winter. He roamed the
mountains, played golf, and appreciated the many activities and pleasures this
valley had to offer along with its breathtaking landscapes.
In the
2000s, he discovered the Hotel les Grands Montets in Argentiere. A hidden gem
located 300 meters away from Grands Montets’ slopes and a ten-minute walk to
the town center. Since then, he came back every year with his children, seduced
by the charm of this authentic mountain chalet where guests were feeling at
home.
He tried
other renowned addresses in Chamonix valley, even other ski resorts, but he
always ended up coming back to the Hotel les Grands Montets which became its favorite
holiday destination.
When the
hotel’s owners at the time mentioned that they wanted to sell the property,
Jean-Sebastien Beslay decided to commit himself to this new adventure and took
his first step in the hospitality industry. In October 2018, he bought the
hotel! The finance expert took over the leadership of the alpine chalet and got
behind the scenes of such a magical place.
Therefore,
with the help of his team, he has kept sharing his passion for the hotel and
the mountains, always keeping in mind that the main goal was guests’ satisfaction.
Hence, he
tackled renovation works starting with the wellness center, entirely
refurbished during spring 2019; then with the hotel’s façade, insulated and
covered with a wood siding during fall seasons 2019 and 2020.
If you are
fortunate enough, you might meet him while you are staying at the hotel as he
keeps spending his holidays there. Quite talkative, he will be happy to have a
cup of tea and discuss with you, also listen to your suggestions as he cares
about your experience.
