A chalet-like building of wood and stone, with terraces and
floor-to-ceiling windows in nearly every room, LeCrans is by far the
most exclusive spot from which to appreciate this posh ski resort’s
dramatic views of the jagged Alps. These vistas are also found at the
buzzing restaurant, a dining room with a roaring fireplace and gray
cedar walls and beams, and the intimate Cinq Mondes spa, with a lap pool
made from Vietnamese green stone and an outdoor Jacuzzi. The 15 guest
rooms are richly furnished—it’s clear that the designer, Christophe
Decarpentrie, didn’t cut any corners—and are named after mountains and
ranges: The airy, light-filled Everest Junior Suite, for instance, is
green and gold with high ceilings, a charming tropical-themed mural on
the wall behind the bed, and a fireplace. It’s also clear from the
eyepopping rates that the hotel expects its guests to appreciate such
fine details, despite the fact that the deluxe and superior rooms are on
the small side. You pay to be coddled in such a privileged location,
just 300 feet from the slopes in a glitzy resort studded with Chanel and
Hermès boutiques.
You can find it two hours
away from the Geneva International Airport, and less than 100 meters (328 feet)
from the Crans-Montana Ski Resort.
Guests are invited to
unwind by the fireplace, relax in the sauna, soak in the Jacuzzi, enjoy the
hammam, swim in the indoor/outdoor pool, or get a perfect treatment in the spa.
If you prefer some personal time and private entertaining, you can just stay in
your suite and watch TV on the huge plasma TV sets. And before going to sleep,
you must taste the excellent dishes prepared here, and maybe sip on some of the
best wines found into the LeCellier.
