"Around a century ago Megève was quite literally put on the map by the Rothschild family, a purpose-built alternative to some of the busier Alpine resort towns. To this day it remains quieter and more rarefied than most of the other big-name ski destinations. Even the Four Seasons Megève — a partnership between the venerable luxury brand and the family that still runs this town — contains a mere 55 rooms and suites, a fraction of what you might find in a comparable hotel in a busier slopeside town." - Tablet Hotels
