An exceptional 5* luxury hotel in an idyllic rural location.
In a few words... This outstanding hotel enjoys an idyllic rural location in the hamlet of Saint Marcel, just 1km from the centre of the village of St Martin de Belleville (private shuttle available). La Bouitte fully deserves its hard-earned reputation as one of the most welcoming, convivial places to stay in the French Alps.

There is a private shuttle service for guests who wish to go skiing. The hotel organises three departures in the morning: 8.45am, 9.30am and 10.30am. You are driven to Saint Martin de Belleville, located just a five-minute drive from the hotel. Once your day of skiing is over, you can call the hotel and they will pick you up in Saint Martin de Belleville (same place as drop off).
La Bouitte (which means ‘little house’ in the local dialect) had humble beginnings. Built in the mid-1970s by René and Marie-Louise Meilleur, it was a mountain restaurant that welcomed skiers and served hearty local dishes such as fondue and raclette. Development of the establishment began in 1984, with the creation of St Martin de Belleville as a ski resort, and the restaurant began the Michelin-starred route in 2003.
It is truly a family business: René is now joined in the kitchen by his son Maxime, accompanied by their wives Marie-Louise and Delphine. In 2005, the small spa ‘La Bela Vya’ was opened, offering traditional Savoyard wellness treatments inspired by nature, followed by the extension in 2016 where guests discover the exclusive range of Meilleur Nature products, made from local alpine plant extracts, the indoor lake, the citrus hammam, the spruce sauna and the steam-heated solan (hay bed).”
Possibly the most celebrated of La Bouitte’s qualities is its restaurant, with its beautiful traditional Savoyard décor, its welcoming, warm atmosphere (without the preciousness sometimes found in high-end restaurants), and its renowned cuisine, which often uses everyday ingredients and elevates them with a theatrical twist. There is a good selection of set menus and à la carte dishes; the wine list is exceptional.
Ample uncovered parking is available. There are 3 electric charging stations available (payment for charging upon arrival).
The hotel is offered on room only basis. Breakfast and dinners can be taken at the hotel, paid locally.
