In the dream spot next to handsome Megève’s main square, this contemporary design hotel is a fresh proposition in a traditional cobblestoned town full of charm. It’s in a prime position for the morning ski lifts, as well as après parties and though a stay here is primarily about the slopes, the bedrooms are a chic retreat. There are smart walnut wood details, bunk beds for little ones and sunny terraces to lounge on. After a long day, guests can settle in for a hot chocolate by the fire before hitting the spa for a sauna or Tata Harper treatment. The hotel restaurant Beefbar is a good choice for supper but the best bit is that guests are in a village with great nightlife and lots of options. A smart ski hotel in the snowy thick of things.
