"Boutique-hotel style may have taken a little while to make its way to the slopes of the world’s ski resorts, but there’s no question it’s officially arrived. And thanks to the redesign of the Araucaria Hotel & Spa, in the French Alpine town of La Plagne, we can add another example of the trend. Here, at the very foot of the vast Paradiski ski area, is an 84-room hotel whose redesign, by the architect Leslie Gauthier, leaves it head and shoulders above the tradition-bound, visually conservative ski-hotel norm." - Tablet Hotels
