La Bouitte Hotel, Hameau de St Marcel
Traditional chalet hotel full of charm
The name of the hotel, "La Bouitte", means little house in the Savoyard dialect. This is a gastronomic hotel with a Michelin starred restaurant.
Besides the great restaurant, this traditional Savoyard hotel offers a fully-equipped spa. You can experience traditional Savoie wellbeing techniques inspired by nature, such as a bath with milk and mountain honey. To overcome the winter cold, there's nothing like a hay treatment with mountain water and aromatic herbs.
With just 15 rooms and suites, this is a very cosy hotel. They are all decorated with stone and wood, typical of the Savoyard architecture, even featuring 17th century furniture, but with all modern commodities.
The hotel offers breakfast buffet in their dining room, or continental breakfast in your room. There is also a covered car park available.
