In a town known for blocklike towers, this petite auberge with its preserved wooden facade stands out. Plush and rich with amenities, the roomy suite-apartments have polished wood floors, stucco walls, balconies, fireplaces, and Jacuzzis. The restaurant ($$$-$$$$) draws a chic crowd, thanks to superb French cuisine such as almond-roasted lamb with apricot reduction; book well in advance for a table. Spa L'Alpage is a prime spot to rejuvenate after a day of skiing or hiking the trails.
