Four Seasons Hotel Megève has unveiled its latest offering, A Night Above the Clouds, designed for guests seeking a unique and luxurious escape in the French Alps. This exclusive experience draws inspiration from Season 4 of the popular TV series Emily in Paris, where the character Emily enjoys a picturesque mountain retreat in Megève.

Guests who book the A Night Above the Clouds package can immerse themselves in the same romantic setting seen on-screen. Set against the stunning backdrop of Mont Blanc, the experience begins with a scenic ski lift ride to the Idéal 1850 restaurant, perched at an altitude of 6,070 feet. A personal attendant will escort guests to the restaurant, where they can savor a bottle of Champagne as the sun sets over the mountains.

Dinner features a gourmet spread of Savoyard specialties, thoughtfully paired with French wines selected by sommelier Samy Sbiti. Afterward, guests can retire to the exclusive Suite Idéal, located on the upper floor of Idéal 1850. The suite combines traditional Alpine architecture with modern comforts, and its expansive views of Mont Blanc and the Aravis Range add to the overall ambiance.

The following morning offers the opportunity to be the first to ski on freshly fallen snow, ensuring an unforgettable alpine experience. As part of the package, guests can also enjoy a romantic carriage ride through the quaint streets of Megève, reminiscent of a scene from Emily in Paris.

Megève, renowned for its charm and elegance, has long been a sought-after destination for travelers. Its cobblestone streets, cozy chalets, and breathtaking landscapes have attracted icons such as Audrey Hepburn, and it continues to be a haven for those seeking refined mountain escapes.

The A Night Above the Clouds package is available until March 23, 2025, and promises a luxurious getaway for couples looking to experience the romance and magic of the French Alps.
