Hotel Avenue Lodge | Best places to stay in Val d'Isere

"In the heart of the village, Avenue Lodge is an interesting amalgamation of styles – a Savoyard exterior of timber and stone conceals a more contemporary interior with lots of stark granite and cowhide in both reception areas and rooms – the work of celebrated designer Jean-Philippe Nuel, noted for creating an airy feel. The undeniably hip atmosphere and the central location ensures Avenue Lodge is a place in which to be seen. The restaurant menu offers indulgent, French fine-dining, while the underground spa, with its swimming pool, steam bath and sauna, is sublime after a day skiing. " - Matthew Roach
