Grand Montets will definately be open. Probably going to open this coming weekend.
Mercure centre is well placed, but can be pricey. If you're staying on try the Hotel Croix-Blanche, Hotel Morgane, Hotel Les Aiglons.
If you want to stay in Argentiere, close to the slopes then try: Hotel Grand Montets.
All the above hotels are 3/4 star.
Hope this helps!

Courmayeur will open this weekend too, so you could go there for a day. Verbier too, though Courmayeur is closer and, I think, nicer.

Mt, Verbier (le chable for the base lift) is about an hour to hour-and-a-quarter easy drive depending on weather. in heavy snow the pass can be closed so worth checking with the tourist office.

Chamexpress, do you run any trips between Chamonix and Verbier or do you know anyone else who does?
