Which room to book at the best ski hotels

Ski / Carmen's listAt a ski hotel the room name tells you what you will see, so book the category that promises it. In Courchevel, the Deluxe Junior Suite at Cheval Blanc, the one room there with a balcony over the slopes, or the south-facing One Bedroom Suite at Les Airelles. In St. Moritz, a lake-view suite with a balcony and a butler at Badrutt's Palace, or the south-facing Junior Suite Deluxe at Suvretta House, the hotel with its own lift. In Zermatt, a room with Matterhorn in its name at Riffelalp, or the Tower Suite at The Omnia. In Aspen, the One Bedroom Mountain Side Suite at The Little Nell. In Niseko, the Park Suite at Park Hyatt, with Mt Yotei and its own hot spring bath, or the Yotei Suite at Higashiyama.
