Highly recommend

Our stay at this hotel was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The room was very spacious, spotlessly clean, and beautifully designed – we felt so comfortable throughout our stay. The reception staff were incredibly helpful, always smiling, and made us feel so welcome. The highlight of our experience was dining at Frenchy restaurant. The food was simply outstanding! Both dinner and breakfast were delicious, with so much attention to detail in every dish. The restaurant staff were just as fantastic – always warm, friendly, and attentive. Even the little details, like the drivers who took us to the slopes, were perfect. They were punctual, friendly, and added to the overall smoothness of our stay. Everyone we encountered – from the reception team to the restaurant staff – was smiling and genuinely kind, which created such a positive atmosphere. This was an unforgettable experience, and we can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

Every person at this property was exceptionally friendly and helpful (Quinten in the bar and Remi as one of the drivers were both great). The extra little touches helped to make for a wonderful stay - the breakfast was great, the shuttle to and from the lifts, the ski storage, the hot tub and sauna and even the attached night club ( Thu-Sat only)! The property is convenient located to shops, restaurants, bars, market and everything that you need for a perfect stay.

Nice but very overpriced

Nice chalet style hotel with a nice bar. Quite overpriced though for what you get. The spa is very small and operates on a booking schedule. The breakfast is quite limited (they also charge you 14 CHF for an avocado toast). The Frenchie restaurant is very overpriced with an ambitious but underperforming menu. Also stay away from the extremely overpriced Swiss wines. Staff is friendly though. All in all, would be a good hotel if it cost half as much as it does now.

Stunning hotel, avoid classic/standard rooms

Stunning hotel, with lovely staff, lovely decor in the lounge, restaurant and bar, great spa area. The quality of food and beverage was outstanding. The bedrooms were however disappointingly small: classic rooms are clearly not value for money.

Lovely stay, but there are some negatives

Great stay overall - friendly reception and especially housekeeping staff, but there are some things to consider if staying for a longer period: - There is a nightclub in the same building and some rooms are just above it. And it's not just a sound of music, but loud people outside and constantly slamming doors.. It's a shame that none of receptionists made us aware of that. - Breakfast was very limited. You won't even get ANY fresh veggies (except cabbage salad) even if you ask. - Showers are fitted in a wrong position, so every time you take a shower, you're flooding the whole bathroom. Although we did enjoy our stay, the room was very spacious, clean and bright with a wonderful view to the Apls. Hotel is also in a great location - 5-10 walking distance from the cable cars and the main shops/restaurants.
