St-Alban
Alpine-chic boutique with an English Art Deco soul. Wenge oak floors, aged leather headboards, brass fixtures, and walls of books give it a gentleman's-club-goes-skiing feel that's rare in a French resort.

Why It Matters
One of the most characterful hotels in the Aravis — it resists the typical cowhide-and-antler Alpine cliché and instead delivers real design intent, a genuinely excellent Nuxe spa, and an in-house ski shop. Tablet Hotels-listed and Michelin Guide-selected.
St-Alban is a 4-star boutique hotel in the Aravis mountain village of La Clusaz — fully clad in wood and stone, with an Art Deco interior that genuinely feels like an English club transplanted to the Alps. Books line the walls of the bar, leather armchairs face the mountains, and the 250 m² Spa NUXE is the real anchor of the property. There's no dinner restaurant, but the village is a short stroll away, and the hotel more than compensates with a free shuttle to the slopes, an in-house ski shop, and rooms that range from cosy 18 m² classics up to sprawling 66 m² family suites under the eaves.
