Au Cœur du Village

The façade is understated Alpine lodge; inside is a 60-room luxury hotel with a crystal-themed spa, a ski shop, and two restaurants pulling their weight at opposite ends of the formality spectrum. Rooms mix Savoyard warmth with contemporary art by local painter Ludovic Di Orio. The stylish bar does après-ski as well as late-night cocktails, which is a wider mandate than most. The Michelin Guide awarded it one Key.
