What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Its 15th-century exterior does little to prepare you for the very contemporary boutique hotel inside.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Pedestrian alleys surround the entrance, and the Château des Ducs de Savoie rises directly above the old quarter.

The rooms
Infinite Black rooms are finished in monochrome dark tones, and select duplex suites have deep balneo tubs.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Italian Norr porcelain stoneware lines the heated pool, set within the hotel's restored vaulted stone cellar.
The spa
The top-floor SpaSuite sits beneath heavy timber roof trusses and uses alpine botanicals from local brand Exertier.
Hot tub and sauna
An outdoor hot tub sits on the rooftop deck, and a wooden dry-heat sauna adjoins the third-floor fitness studio.
At the table
Restaurant Folie sets tables across the stone courtyard, and Mademoiselle Folie pours evening cocktails at a curved marble bar.
How it began
Owners Charlotte and Jérôme Reyes assembled the property over years, buying fifteen separate apartments in the medieval building one by one.
