The World's Best Ski Resorts

The World's Best Business Hotels - 2007
Our favorite luxury ski resort recommendations!

Dealing only with luxury hotels, we know a thing or two about luxury ski resorts. Luxury ski resorts offer not only world-class skiing - after leaving the slopes you'll return to the lap of luxury to warm those aching bones.

Here are Five Star Alliance's favorite recommendations for the world's best luxury ski resorts. Beware, however, that a trip to any of the following resorts will almost certainly result in a boycott of the local, short and icy hill you once enjoyed.
