"A high-altitude luxury ski hotel in the Courchevel/Méribel area with 55 rooms and suites outfitted in ski-lodge–appropriate mid-century modern furnishings by Pierre Yovanovitch, Le Labo bath products, fur throws and dramatic, painting-like mountain views. On-site amenities include a Tata Harper spa, indoor and outdoor pools, sauna and jacuzzi, plus a dedicated ski concierge and morning gear-prep space where staff prep skis and snowboards and provide hot cocoa, croissants and coffee. Guests typically stay several nights (an average of four), and dining is a major draw — particularly traditional Alpine fare like fondue and raclette; rooms start at around $900 per night." - Stacey Leasca
