Frommer's Review

Since the 1950s, when it attracted starlets and millionaires (when being a millionaire actually meant something), Auberge du Père-Bise has radiated style and charm. A chalet built in 1901 and renovated many times since, it's one of France's most acclaimed -- and expensive -- restaurants. In fair weather you can dine under a vine-covered pergola and enjoy the view of mountains and the lake. The kitchen excels at dishes such as mousse of foie gras, layered potatoes with truffles and foie gras, delicate young lamb, and gratin of crayfish tails.

The inn also offers 34 guest rooms with minibars, TV, and Wi-Fi. Rates are 240€ to 400€ ($348-$580) for a double and 580€ to 680€ ($841-$986) for a suite. Reserve at least 2 months in advance, especially in summer.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
