Deep, dark hues, leather, wood, stone, hunting trophies and thick fabrics, this resolutely elegant boutique hotel summons the power of the elements and nature with radiance and luxury.

An address that's unmistakably its own, the Lodge Park has always made you want to shut yourself away. We've always found refuge here with a sense of privilege and pleasure, without any real sense of the passing days. Within its walls, adorned with exquisitely woven fabrics and topped with deer and other game, you feel as if you're somewhere else. An unexplored elsewhere with a wild beauty that conjures up images of a chic snow safari for gentlemen. The lounges, with their large fireplaces adorned with large frosted river pebbles, trophies and majestic woods, welcome you at any time of day in their clubs of patinated leather and soft Chesterfields. A lively place where you can also enjoy a tasty brunch - eggs cocotte, ham croissants - and divine hot chocolates, guiltlessly matched with a farandole of homemade pastries.

Beef Lodge, a Taste of Elsewhere

At the end of the day, you can indulge in a perfectly balanced cocktail. The Moscow Mule, resolutely the best in Megève, is no match for the Meet Kentucky, which combines bourbon infused with vanilla tea, lemon and Angostura, and other creations renewed each season. Of course, before retiring to your room or suite, you'll want to discover a few savoury treats, especially since the Lodge bar's finger food menu is full of inventive truffles, caviar, lobster and other luxury delights: truffle pizzeta with a taste of home, mouth-watering mini lobster rolls, fine sea bream tacos...
What's next? You can - and should! You can - and should - go to the Beef Lodge, a luxury steak house with a wild chic atmosphere. There, in a subdued room dressed in wood and animal skins, curled up in a patinated leather armchair, you'll discover truly exceptional matured and marbled meats. Selected with infinite care by chef Christophe Cote, whose name is clearly predestined, for their qualities rather than their breed, from farms in Northern Europe and France (Finland, Scotland, Denmark), these pure-bred meats, often from competition animals, are prepared with an Argentinian barbecue. Melt-in-the-mouth, candied, with a slight smoky taste, they are savored to the full, like the T-bone, the whiskey-flambéed picanha, the Tomahawk or the beef tenderloin with its matured bone... and many other marvels that the butcher comes to "tell", with his stall, to the guests before the chef prepares them in front of them, from his glassed-in kitchen. An adventure in itself. And as the table is famous in every way, these ultra-tender, juicy meats are not to be missed with melt-in-the-mouth mac and cheese, homemade fries or truffle purée, to name but a few, although poultry and fish lovers are not left out here. CQFD with roast Bresse chicken in its own juices, absolutely delicious.

A wild, sensory atmosphere

And when it's time to retire? Without hesitation, you make your way up the staircase to your room or suite, transported to a place far away from it all, where the alpine imagination is tinged with the most seductive masculine elegance. Draped in warm, silky woollens combining midnight blue and affogato brown, saddle-stitched leather and plush fabrics in houndstooth or tartan patterns, the rooms reveal an atmosphere of warm, comfortable sensory luxury. With large headboards in beige, khaki or cognac quilted leather, furniture trimmed in saddle-stitched leather and XXL wardrobes, this new refined and sensual décor is an invitation to touch. Just like the bathrooms, with their mineral finish and enveloping colors as smooth as a cappuccino. And don't forget that each bedroom has its own fireplace.

The new 800-square-meter Pure Altitude spa is, fortunately, no exception to this terribly seductive new proposition. Walls clad in pink Himalayan salt in the reception area, luminous emerald-green Alpine quartzite or rough stone in the cabins, infinitely soft fur, rough wood bark reminiscent of the forest - everything at Lodge Park evokes nature. A captivating, soothing nature. So we let ourselves be carried away by this mineral décor with its end-of-the-world allure, as well as by this new jewel box of sensory and wild luxury, with the desire to continue the journey without worrying about time.
