History

The Domaine du Mont d'Arbois was established as a private chalet for family and friends by Noémie de Rothschild, the wife of Maurice de Rothschild, on January 13, 1924.[1] Baroness de Rothschild initially wanted to avoid wintering alongside the German aristocracy in St. Moritz, Switzerland, due to hostility from World War I.[1] She purchased the old chalet, and hired architect Henry Jacques Le Même to design a second chalet.[2]

The chalets were inherited by Baron Edmond Adolphe de Rothschild, who purchased a third chalet and renovated it in 1963–1964.[1] He turned it into a hotel open to the public in 1979.[1] It is operated by Relais & Châteaux.[1] The hotel has 51 bedrooms, a restaurant, Le 1920, as well as a spa and heated outdoor swimming-pool.[1] [2] It was owned by Benjamin de Rothschild, until his death in 2021.[1]
