The Hotel Arbez, also called the Hôtel Arbez Franco-Suisse or L'Arbézie, is a hotel that straddles the international border between France and Switzerland in the tiny village of La Cure, which is itself divided by the boundary.

Today, the entire building houses a hotel, whose dining room, kitchen and several rooms are bisected by the boundary.
