Madeline Hotel and Residences, Auberge Collection

What the classifiers highlight

A thirty-second walk from the gondola carries guests up the ski mountain and down into town, this newly renovated 83-room hotel with 71 residences reads like a modern Swiss chateau, heavy on wood and mountain-inspired art. Forbes rates it Five Star and singles out the spa's Mountain Love Journey, pairing exfoliation, steam and a mineral bath with massage.
