Hôtel Alpaga Megève

Though set in a series of traditional chalets, the style of this hotel, located a few minutes’ drive outside of town, is contemporary.

Indagare Loves:

• The rooms, which can connect, are contemporary and have a chic and tasteful décor.
• The lobby area and common space, which also has a very stylish ambiance
• The Michelin-starred restaurant on property, with a great outdoor space for drinks by the fire.

The 22 rooms tucked into Alpaga’s 11 antique alpine chalets are beautifully furnished with crisp, white linens, faux fur throws and whitewashed exposed wood-paneled walls and beamed ceilings. At once managing to be comfortable and modernly stylish, the hotel is a great choice for couples who don’t need to be in the center of town.

The beautiful Spa La Colline boasts an indoor pool, outdoor sauna and small fitness center, and is the kind of spot where skiers flock to post-slopes—and non-skiers relax for much of the day. There are two restaurants, highlighted by the Michelin-starred La Table de l’Alpaga, which has won awards and holds great prestige in the French culinary tradition. L’Onyx is an excellent, more casual dining option and is itself a destination restaurant for its cool bistro-chic interiors, modern takes on classic dishes and excellent bar.

Six chalets range in size and are an excellent choice for large families or groups of friends looking for the privacy and autonomy of a private home, but with the amenities of a five-star hotel.

Couples love the cozy, romantic rooms in the main building, while families and groups of friends traveling together prefer the chalets. Guests of the Alpaga must not mind that both the village and ski lifts are a drive away.
