Une belle addresse (a beautiful address) since 1890, this charming manor-house hotel with bottle-green wooden shutters and wrought-iron balconies oozes soul. Its wintertime clientele is distinctly young and fun, due in part no doubt to Chambre Neuf (Room Number 9) - the buzzing après-ski bar it runs on the ground floor.

Reception - black leather seating, terracotta tiles and low-hanging shades of amber - is stylish, as is the old-fashioned cage lift that rattles up and down four floors. Rooms are not overly generous for space but come with elegant dark-wood furniture, complimented by white linen and denim-coloured duvet covers, and many have small balconies or French windows at least to make the very best of those mountain views. The walk-in-walk-out showers without tray look great, even if it does mean you risk wet toes when peeing after a shower. Count an additional cost per day for breakfast in the grand dining-room. Parking in the courtyard is free as in wi-fi.
