You know it's that time of the year when everything, from your daily commute and work life to unexpected rain showers, all of a sudden becomes a bit much. But if you think you are the only one left in despair by the lingering of winter, well, you are in the wrong. That's why I have spent hours researching the best ski hotels in the world for interior design-savvy getawayers — so that you could turn these last few weeks of cold weather into an opportunity to reconnect with the outdoors, blow off some steam, and, of course, soak in the surrounding views from their awe-inspiring rooms (or from their winding slopes, should you be a sporty reader).
What makes these specific stays the best design hotels for a snow-filled retreat? It's simple: not only does our edit of the best ski hotels in the world take into account the reviews and accolades these properties have garnered thanks to their hospitality services, but it even — and especially — values how these destinations incorporate the design of their premises into imaginatively crafted holiday accommodations that are as visibly spectacular as they are designed to respect, magnify, and contribute positively to the environment around them.
