Lumière is a small ski-in, ski-out property at the base of Lift 4 and the Lower Boomerang run in Mountain Village, now run by Dunton (you'll still see it as Lumière with Inspirato on some sites) and listed with Relais & Châteaux. Most stays are residences with full chef's kitchens, plus ski valet, Dunton Kitchen for après and a daily continental breakfast.
I recommend it for families and friend groups who want residence space with hotel service right at a lift. The trade-off is fewer on-site amenities than the Madeline, no full pool, and a gondola ride into town for most dinners.
