Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Annapurna

On the edge of the slopes, the ski-in, ski-out Hotel Annapurna could hardly have a better location if you plan on spending your days pounding the powder. The open and airy ski room and the vast dining room both have huge windows where you can take stock of the ski conditions. The hotel is owned by the family of Olympic skier Alexis Pinturault, whose photo graces the door to every room. Look for lots of natural wood and balconies with stunning views. There's a heated indoor pool with views of the mountains, a spa with two saunas and a steam bath, and a fitness center.
