Le Saint Gervais

An Art Nouveau building at the foot of Mont Blanc that somehow pulls off contemporary luxury without feeling like a ski-lodge rebrand. Le Saint Gervais is a boutique hotel with a spa, indoor pool, and a Mediterranean restaurant, sitting in a spa town that predates ski tourism by a comfortable margin. Rooms split between the heritage building and a modern wing; the Mont Blanc Tramway is close enough that a ticket comes with every stay.
