Winter is approaching, and with it the winter sports season. From Courchevel to Megève, via Alpe d’Huez and La Rosière, these top-of-the-range hotels offer an experience as refined as it is authentic for a holiday or weekend in the mountains.
I.L.Y Hotels La Rosière, Montvalezan
With a thick blanket of snow on its roof when the winter season is in full swing, the first ‘Ily’ hotel – for I Love You! – is located in the heart of the Alps in the charming ski resort of La Rosière. An ideal base for a weekend in the mountains, this 4-star hotel (worth 5!) sits right next to the gigantic Mont Blanc. From the outside, it looks like a modern wooden chalet. Inside, the boutique-style decor is warm, contemporary and elegant, with discreet references to the surrounding peaks. The 69 rooms and suites are decorated in shades of orange, punctuated by touches of green and designer furniture.
The Bonami restaurant, with its local, gourmet cuisine, has two interconnecting rooms: one with a cosy, zen feel and the other more festive. The terrace is the perfect place to enjoy the Alpine sunsets, with a cocktail in your right hand and a skewer of marshmallows in your left, to be grilled over the braziers. Après-ski can also be enjoyed in the ‘St B.’ bar, with its stone counter. I.L.Y Hotels La Rosière boasts a 420m2 wood and glass spa, with sauna, hammam, 16-metre swimming pool and 3 whirlpool baths, one of which is outdoor. All with views over the valley and the mountain pastures. A ski shop is also available. In summer, you’ll also find the hotel open for a great family holiday in the mountains!
