Sandwiched between Chamonix and Albertville (known for the 1992 Winter Olympics), Megève is famous for its upscale hotels and glittering clientele. Everyone from Brigitte Bardot to Audrey Hepburn has graced the slopes here. As a ski resort, it is perfect for beginners and intermediates, with plenty of blue and red runs. Advanced skiers may find it a little limiting, although you can buy a pass that also covers nearby Chamonix for more adventurous ski options. In its impressive roster of hotels, five-star luxury sits beside tiny cabins and chalets. Discover our guide to the best hotels in Megève, France – bookable with Culture Trip.
1. Le Chalet Zannier

It’s all about minimalism, natural materials and an artisan touch at Le Chalet. There are 12 suites and a three-bedroom cottage, inside which you’ll find muted colour palettes, wooden and stone furnishings and fireplaces, alongside hand-picked antiques and artwork. At restaurant La Ferme de mon Père, the focus is on local, fresh and seasonal cuisine. Try the velouté and crisps of Jerusalem artichokes with black truffle chantilly, or the liquorice-flavoured frogs legs.
2. Hôtel Alpaga
Ski Chalet

The chalets of the five-star Alpaga reveal themselves at the edge of a snowy winding road, clustered around the main chalet and restaurant. Rooms blend a traditional wooden architectural style with an abundance of comforting touches, such as deep mattresses and spacious suites. Oh, and there’s a hot tub with views of Mont Blanc.
3. Lodge Park
Boutique Hotel, Spa Hotel

A good boutique hotel is all about character, and Lodge Park has that in spades. The bustling lodge has a log table and fireplace at its core, the dimmed lighting offering an intensely warm aesthetic. Rooms are dressed with Scottish tartans and playful exotic textures – think leather headboards and gold, crisp-white bed linens. There’s even an in-house steak restaurant.
4. Hotel Le Gai Soleil
Budget Hotel

Built by a Megevan family in 1927, the Hotel Gai Soleil was one of the first hotels in Megève. There have only been four different owners, so it’s no surprise that the focus here is on the personal touch and family-friendly atmosphere. The rooms have an old-fashioned alpine comfort, even through their contemporary design, and chef Alain Cuteri is an expert of local specialities – from fondue with Mont D’or, raclette, tartiflette and crozets de savoie.
5. Les Loges Blanches
Boutique Hotel

The big wooden chalets of Les Loges Blanches may as well be plucked right out of an old alpine fairytale. A little village of lodges, the 61 rooms and suites have been recently renovated. There’s a modern comfort paired with the traditional wooden furnishings. Enjoy a few laps of the heated outdoor pool after a day on the mountain, followed by a stint in the Nordic sauna. La Table des Cochers restaurant is charming all over, packed with old ski decor and serving up elegant Savoyard flavours.
6. Hôtel Le Fer à Cheval
Boutique Hotel, Spa Hotel, Luxury

A hotel 250 metres from the Chamois gondola, Le Fer à Cheval is a five-star winter wonderland. The rooms are modern with a mountain feel, provided by the wooden walls, doors and backboards. There are two restaurants, one for traditional alpine food, the other, l’Alpage, for authentic Savoie specialities. If you like cheese, then the latter is the place to go.
7. Hotel L'Arboisie
Boutique Hotel, Spa Hotel

The Arboisie is at the foot of the mountain it takes its name from. It was renovated back in 2017 – now, as well as the wood and glass chalets topped with stone roof tiles, you’ve got the Chez Jean restaurant, gourmet and family-friendly, and Le Cellier, for local Savoyard produce. Head to the Deep Nature Spa at the end of the day for luxury massages and treatments.
8. Les Fermes de Marie

Les Fermes de Marie is almost a village in itself – a selection of beautifully restored wooden houses have been modernised, though still in keeping with their surroundings. Expect tartan prints, wooden beams, open fires and cosy blankets in all of the rooms. These vary from the cosy ‘Classic’ to the huge ‘Prestige’, and all have spectacular mountain views. The spa is one of Europe’s best, and includes an enormous array of both a dry and wet wood-clad sauna, indoor lap pool as well as an outside hot tub. It also houses one of the area’s top restaurants, perfect for an easy night in after a day on the slopes.
