Megève gets a technicolour chalet shake-up with Hotel Saint-Georges, reborn through designer-artist Luke Edward Hall’s playful, pattern-happy palette. Expect painted timber, folklore-inspired murals, cheerful tartans and a real sense of Alpine escapism that feels fresh rather than themed. Steps from the lifts, it’s a winter base for those who like their ski trip with serious design cred. It’s Megève, but several notches cooler. 

Les Ferries de Marie was the game-changer that put Megève back on the map and set the style for a whole generation of rustic-deluxe European hotels. Les Fermes de Marie is one of our favourite hotels in the area, not only for the deep comfort factor but also for its outstanding service, terrific spa, and superb local cuisine. This is the perfect place to stay for part-time skiers because of the spa & the library.

Big Boss is one of Megève’s long-standing luxury fashion addresses, with two boutiques in the heart of the village showcasing an extensive selection of renowned designer labels.

Victoire at the Arcades du Mont-Blanc is a long-time Megève favourite, curated by Carole Pozzallo – who brought her vision from Paris to the Alps with a singular rule: exclusivity. Her instinct-led selection spans men’s and women’s collections, from the house’s own line of perfectly cut holiday-leaning essentials to an unexpected mix of often-Italian designers chosen for their love of craft and style.
