This hotel was recommended to us, and we certainly were not disappointed. Whilst the hotel is top notch and feels very special, it also has a really lovely 'homely' feel to it, partly due to the fact it is small enough for the staff to get to know all the guests, and partly because the staff are so incredibly friendly and helpful. Centrally located in the very picturesque town of Champery, which has 'chocolate box' chalets and is surrounded by snow capped mountains, the hotel has a lovely bar and breakfast area with panoramic views of the mountains. Our room had a double aspect with two lots of French doors and balconies where we could sit and admire the view. The en-suite shower room was huge and impeccably clean with modern sanitary ware. The sound proofing of the rooms was amazingly good and the electric shutters, combined with quality curtains, meant it was dark whatever time the sun came up! Breakfast was buffet style with a fabulous choice of hot and cold items and 'proper' coffee and tea served by the staff. A big feature is the swimming pool which is heated but outdoors and surrounded by the mountains - a fabulous place to relax. There is also a huge jacuzzi, steam and sauna rooms, plus the option of booking spa treatments. I can recommend the massage! Whilst the hotel does not serve meals, it does have a 'snack' menu including lasagne, pizza, etc. Nothing is too much trouble for the staff, who were happy to advise on walks and activities. Whilst all the staff we encountered were fabulous, we were particularly impressed with Andres who went above and beyond to provide a top notch service. There is a choice of restaurants in Champery, some fabulous walks going from the centre and also many stunning places to visit locally. I can imagine it is a great ski resort, but when we were there in summer there was still plenty to see and do including mountain biking. I don't think anyone could be disappointed by a visit to this hotel.
