Appendix 1888
315 Rue des Grottes de Balme
74300 Magland
Description
A family-run bed-and-breakfast that can be reserved exclusively for business meetings.
Surrounded by mountains, in the heart of the valley, our family-run bed-and-breakfast guarantees you a timeless stay.
Ideally located between Geneva and Chamonix, this former inn—which once held the concession for tours of the Balme Caves and offered a few rooms in the last century—has been tastefully and modernly renovated while preserving the spirit of the place.
From the subtle blend of colors and cement tiles to the vintage moldings and even the wrought-iron balcony bearing the inscription “1888,” everything here reminds you that you’re in a place steeped in history...
The eclectic decor, reminiscent of a cabinet of curiosities, was designed by the Montagnardes – Café de Balme design studio.
Designer furniture sits alongside antique pieces and works by artists. A delicate blend of colors and styles creates a unique experience.
Our five rooms, each very different from the others, are sure to surprise and charm you. L’ANNEXE 1888 offers shared spaces to help you feel right at home.
