Reimagined from valley to peak, Hotel La Neige emerges anew—ushering in a redefined vision of alpine distinction. With enduring French elegance, contemporary sophistication, and a dedication to impeccable hospitality, Hotel La Neige renews its legacy as Hakuba’s premier mountain retreat.
Discover the four pillars of excellence that define the very essence of Hotel La Neige.
Hotel La Neige honors its natural surroundings. Before construction, the previous owners carefully cataloged every tree by height and health, preserving the healthiest and most mature among them. This thoughtful approach allowed the hotel to blend seamlessly into the mature woodland. The result is a sanctuary where guests are fully immersed in nature—without compromise.
The mountains await nearby. The forest embraces every step.
Honoring the natural abundance of Hakuba, Hotel La Neige’s culinary philosophy blends elegant alpine rusticity with French technique. Seasonal ingredients, trusted local producers, and thoughtful preparation come together in refined, French dishes. All served across our forest-view dining spaces.
Hotel La Neige is a striking homage to the Dana-Thomas House, one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s most iconic works and a hallmark of his Prairie School architecture. From the circular arches above the entrance to the expansive windows, angled rooflines, and long horizontal lines that echo the flat Midwestern prairie, La Neige faithfully captures the signature elements of Wright’s visionary style.
Staying at Hotel La Neige feels like stepping inside a living museum of architectural genius.
Music is our life force. It surrounds us—echoing through the forest, drifting from the dining room, and lingering in the stillness of night. At Hotel La Neige, sound is more than atmosphere; it's emotion, memory, and presence.
Join us for an evening of fine dining and live music. You will not soon forget it.
