Cordée des Alpes

Every room comes with a private timber balcony pointed straight at the Alps, which tells you most of what you need to know about this boutique hotel's priorities. Stone and wood apartments have beamed ceilings and proper fires; the main rooms go for fashionable neutrals with splashes of color. The spa and indoor pool handle après-ski duty, a bar sets up cocktail hour, and in winter a sushi pop-up appears in the lounge, because Verbier contains multitudes. One Michelin Key.
