Nicolas Grizard - Sales Manager, MGM Constructeur
In the same way that buildings have foundations, what are MGM Constructeur’s founding principles?
« At MGM Constructeur, the values on which we are built, on which we were raised and which bind us are the same wishes to repay our clients’ confidence and to fulfil our commitments by offering quality developments in a privileged setting. More than just properties, we build good living by creating living spaces in the true sense of the term, respecting our favourite region.
That favourite region is the Alps, why?
The mountains are in our DNA. We know them well and they are the source of our strength. This year, two new developments at altitude and the extension of a complex provide perfect examples of our philosophy of excellence, combining the beauty of the Alpine scenery with architectural charm: the Hameau de l’Ours in Manigod La Croix Fry, the Roc des Tours II (extension of the Roc des Tours I) in Grand-Bornand Chinaillon, and the Chalets Akasha in les Saisies. In the valley, we are drawing on our source of inspiration close to the lakes and near the shops to build developments which guarantee a much sought-after quality of life. Accordingly, in Annecy, building the Hotel Rivage & Spa in the outstanding location of the Petit Port, and launching Jardin Olga, a traditional residential complex and a real «green lung» in Annecy, underline our attachment to this town, one of the nicest in France. And this year we are extending our lakeside involvement with our first project in the dynamic heart of the Riviera of the Alps, a stone’s throw from the largest natural, glacial lake in France: The Clos Marlioz in Aix-les-Bains.
Staying in the realm of the mountains, how would you describe MGM Constructeur’s relationship with its clients? Are you among those who open the way and then provide guidance or are you closely involved at every stage?
It’s all of that. We have the daring, the sense of seeking new challenges and a knowledge of the territory which enables us to push back boundaries and get off the beaten track. Above all, we have this solidarity, inherited from the ethos of the mountaineering team, to guide our clients along the path to property ownership. In keeping with our human values, we are aware that becoming a property owner is an important step, which is why our priority is providing our clientele with personalised guidance suited to their needs and a single point of contact. At MGM Constructeur, establishing this relationship of trust is vital for building and cultivating good living. »
Muriel Ambrosino - Sales & Operations Manager, MGM Hôtels & Résidences
If you had to define MGM Hôtels & Résidences in two words, what would they be?
« Authenticity and hospitality are the founding principles of the MGM Group. It is in this ethos of sharing that, for 5 years, at MGM Hôtels & Résidences, we have been welcoming guests and purchasers amongst lakes and mountains to our 4 and 5-star establishments planned, conceived and managed according to our vision of the art of living and of hospitality.
How do your clients become aware of these values?
These first years have enabled us to position ourselves. We have taken the time to set up our own ranges of facilities and to alter our concepts by listening to our clientele. Today, our Spa Montagnes du Monde®, our M’Bars and their musical gatherings, our hotel facilities offered in every complex, our original 1 000 m² relaxation centres all help to implant the MGM Hôtels & Résidences identity in the landscape.
Will the next MGM Hôtels & Résidences development be an hotel or a residential complex?
Both! For MGM Hôtels & Résidences’ fifth year in business, we are proud to be pursuing and strengthening our savoir-faire by opening our 10th MGM Hôtels & Résidences establishment, Alpen Lodge, at the end of 2020. Ideally located in the dynamic Savoyard resort of La Rosière – the only Franco-Italian ski area in the Northern Alps. This new development is the second, after Alexane in Samoëns, to combine an hotel with a residential complex.
Every opening is a special moment for us and Alpen Lodge reflects our specific and proven savoir-faire as much for our selection of classic materials as for the choice of position. The multiplicity and quality of our facilities as well as the emphasis we place on après-ski relaxation clearly illustrate the importance we attach to our guests’ total satisfaction.. »
It was your need for interior space and comfort which led to the birth of MGM Constructeur and, in turn, its luxury developments. Your own lifestyle and investment aims can be seen behind the aptness of design and in the generosity of the volumes and surroundings, and they leave their stamp on the space, which is yours, long before you own it.
MGM Hôtels & Résidences will fulfil all your needs for getting away from it all, with locations awash with treasures, which make gilt-edged investments, bespoke facilities accompanied by individual attention, which demonstrate that you are never as well looked after as you are by MGM. You may never have been there before, but it is all familiar to you. That is the MGM effect, hotels and apartment complexes with a sense of hospitality.
