Hotels & Stays
Hotels, resorts, villas and private stays.
Inside Hotels & Stays
Where you stay sets the tone for everything that follows. Melchior arranges palaces, resorts, boutique houses, private villas with staff and alpine chalets — for a weekend or a season. We know which suite faces the sea, which house suits a family of eight, and which manager to call when a property is fully booked. Preferences, arrival times, room configurations and occasions are communicated ahead of you. You confirm once; every detail of the stay is coordinated from there.
What we coordinate
A stay is rarely a single booking. Everything below is arranged under one conversation.
