Chamonix: disposal of Hôtel Le Lyret
EXTENDAM announces the disposal of Hôtel Le Lyret, a 37-room, 3-star hotel located in the heart of Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. Acquired in 2022 through a hospitality SME alongside Mont-Blanc Collection, under the name Hôtel Les Gourmets, it has been fully renovated and repositioned. The hotel reopened in December 2024 under its new identity. This disposal concludes a transformation strategy carried out on an ideally located asset, in one of Europe’s most iconic Alpine destinations.
Hôtel Le Lyret: a complete repositioning in the heart of Chamonix
At the time of its acquisition in 2022, the hotel was operated under the name Hôtel Les Gourmets and had 37 rooms and suites. It enjoys a prime location in the very centre of the resort, close to the main attractions and transport infrastructure.
After a few months of operation in its existing state, EXTENDAM and Mont-Blanc Collection launched a repositioning programme. The aim was to completely rethink the guest experience while preserving the hotel’s local roots. The hotel reopened in Chamonix in December 2024 as Hôtel Le Lyret.
An art hotel in tune with its surroundings
The project stands out for its distinctive artistic approach. Six international female artists were invited to create permanent works inspired by Chamonix and its natural environment. Hôtel Le Lyret has thus established itself as a true art hotel in Chamonix, with an identity of its own.
Beyond the renovation of its spaces, the hotel’s identity was completely redesigned, with the ambition of strengthening its appeal to French and international guests in every season. In addition to its 37 rooms, the hotel offers a bar, a wellness area with sauna and hammam, a massage room and an outdoor pool heated in season. It also has a garden with views of Mont Blanc, a ski room and meeting spaces.
The disposal of Hôtel Le Lyret thus closes an investment cycle that has transformed a historic hotel in central Chamonix into a distinctive address, fully repositioned in its market. Following the opening of RockyPop Flaine, this transaction confirms EXTENDAM’s expertise in mountain hospitality. It also illustrates its hotel asset disposal strategy, following other transactions such as the three disposals announced in January 2025.
Chamonix, an Alpine destination with year-round visitor appeal
An iconic mountain tourism destination, Chamonix-Mont-Blanc attracts visitors throughout the year. In 2025, the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc Valley recorded more than 8.6 million overnight stays, evenly split between summer (4.5 million, 52.3%) and winter (4.1 million, 47.7%).
The destination also stands out for its international reach: foreign visitors account for 50.4% of tourists in summer and 56.9% in winter. This momentum supports the local market and reinforces Chamonix’s position as a four-season mountain destination.

“This disposal concludes another transformation project carried out alongside Mont-Blanc Collection, a partner with whom we share in-depth knowledge of mountain hospitality. We are particularly pleased with the repositioning achieved and to now be able to sell this asset at a multiple in line with our expectations.”
