Hôtel Saint-Georges
Opened just before the holidays, this design-forward boutique hotel is a very exciting Alpine newcomer. Set in a historic chalet in the center of town (a one-minute walk from the gondola), the cozy and stylish property is the first mountain hotel from French hospitality group Chapitre Six, who also runs Hôtel La Ponche in Saint Tropez, Hotel Hana in Paris, and more. Rooms here are rich in color and texture thanks to artist and designer Luke Edward Hall, who is responsible for the whimsical wallpaper and custom upholstery, both of which are inspired by nature and folklore. The rooms are small, but very pretty and well-thought-out, and the hotel also has a bistro, piano bar, and spa with saunas and cold plunges. Particularly noteworthy is the bistro, Le Trappeur, a cozy spot serving elegant plates. Last but not least: it’s a relatively well-priced pick for the Alps.
Refuge Chez La Tante
Another opening for the 2025/2026 season is this hotel and restaurant set right on the mountain at 1,800 meters. It offers a strikingly remote location, ideal for those who want isolation and to be immersed in nature. Reached via gondola or skis, the mountaintop property has 20 mountain-chic rooms and a spa, plus a fabulous restaurant that is a must whether or not you’re staying at the hotel. Expect elegant Savoyard dishes—charcoal-grilled leeks with truffle, tartiflette, côte de boeuf for two, and more.
Les Fermes de Marie · Megeve
Les Fermes de Marie
This beloved, family-run property from the Sibuet hotel group is a real institution in Megève. Open since 1989, the five-star stay has an authentic feel and undeniable charm. Spread across several centuries-old alpine farmhouses, the hotel offers 70 rooms (and two chalets) that epitomize elegant mountain charm (think wooden furniture, warm tones, woven fabrics, and soft fur details). There's no shortage of services here, including several excellent restuarants (worth dining at even if you're not staying at the hotel) and a wellness center with a with a gym, pool, jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, and treatments. The hotel, while perfect for couples, is also very family friendly.
Flocons de Sel · Megeve
Flocons de Sel
Largely responsible for making Megève a foodie destination, Flocons de Sel is chef Emmanuel Renaut’s three-Michelin-starred restaurant, which just reopened after a year-long renovation. It’s set in a chalet overlooking the town with beautiful views (and ten cozy rooms, should you wish to stay the night). Meals here are intricate and high-touch, with set menus and a la carte options that utilize top quality Alpine produce. Don’t miss the langoustine tartare and caviar starter, or the desserts.
Le Refuge - Leutaz · Megeve
Le Refuge
A short drive from town, this is one of Megève’s best restaurants. It’s an authentic, family-run mountain bistro where the food is no afterthought—each dish is well-executed and comforting, from the poached egg with morels and green lentils to the pressed chicken with supreme sauce and the truffle fondue. It’s perfect for pretty much any occasion.
Chalet Lupo · Megeve
Chalet Lupo
While the local French cuisine in Megève is delicious, it’s worth making an exception for Chalet Lupo, a slopeside Italian restaurant. With a beautiful white and blue terrace, it serves dishes like gnocchi with ricotta and spinach and garganelli with zucchini pesto, perfect for refueling after a long day.
Pâtisserie Écir - Megève · Megeve
Ecir
This new patisserie in town is already the top spot for high quality pastries. Come in the morning for classic French pastries (Mont Blanc, pear tarts), great chocolate chip cookies, coffee and hot chocolate.
Hôtel Lodge Park Megève · Megeve
Hôtel Lodge Park Megève
The Hôtel Lodge Park Megève is a five-star offering from the Sibuet hotel group, with a prime setting in the center of town. It's a nice luxe offering, but we mostly love it for its very impressive, 800-square-meter spa, with treatments focused on longevity. Non–hotel guests can book a two-hour day pass to access the spa facilities—highly recommended.
L'Ideal 1850 · Megeve
L'Ideal 1850
A favorite for high-end, on-mountain dining, L'Ideal is run by the Four Seasons and one of the most stylish spots for a mid-ski lunch with beautiful views. Insider tip: The restaurant also has a hotel room—Suite Idéal—a splurge-worthy accommodation right on the slopes from the Four Seasons.
Le Vieux Megève · Megeve
Le Vieux Megève
The Sibuet hotel group runs several of the top hotels in town (including Les Fermes de Marie, the most charming one, and our favorite), but they also run some of the best restaurants. One of their most beloved spots is Le Vieux, an institution in town for fondue and raclette in a cozy, traditional setting.
Bar le S Megève · Megeve
Bar le S
Also run by the Sibuet group is this town-center cocktail bar, a fun stop for a post-ski drink. New this season is their pizza menu, offering NY-style slices, including a pepperoni slice with hot honey and a sweet offering, with pistachio praline and chocolate.
Anata · Megeve
VOUS & Anata
Michelin-starred chef Julien Gatillon runs these two spots in town, set in the same building. The one-Michelin-starred VOUS occupies the first floor, where it serves elegant tasting menus of such dishes as confit wagyu with mondeuse gravy and rigatoni with spinach and black truffle. On the second floor is Anata, an entirely different concept offering an intimate omakase experience. Book one of the 12 seats for high-quality sushi, or order to go for sushi in the comfort of your hotel room.
