Fodor's Expert Review La Cordée des Alpes

This centrally located luxury hotel has a refined contemporary ski-lodge atmosphere, eager-to-please service, and a well-regarded Italian restaurant, La Cordée. Rooms are colored in soft tones with wood accents, and most have balconies with views of the Alps. If you need more space, there are also two- and three-bedroom apartments. The spa continues the mountain vibe, with wood-beamed ceilings above the pool, a Jacuzzi, and wood-burning fireplace. It all adds up to understated elegance in a relaxed environment.
