Location: where is Hotel des Dromonts

This is not Hill Valley – You might have got back in time at the Hotels des Dromonts but once you exit the front door you are right in the middle of a historic district of today’s Avoriaz, your skis are already on, streets are ski slopes and the fantastic Portes du Soleil ski area is ready to be discovered in its entirety. You can ski down straight away toward Morzine or get the lifts in no time and explore further afield. In the evening you can easily walk to the centre of the village and enjoy the bars, shops and restaurants that this snowsure resort has to offer. Think McFly, think! It is time to head to Hotel des Dromonts.

Overview: hotel description: Hotel des Dromonts description

Legendary- Literally perched on the edge of a cliff this iconic building is a true legend in Avoriaz where it was the first address to be built in 1964 in this revolutionary resort. The hotel maintains its true original spirit after more than fifty years and is now a vintage and cosy retreat with its 60’s architecture fully renovated and completely rejuvenated by the right modern touches and a cleverly redesigned layout for contemporary mountain needs.

Back to the future – You don’t need to reach 88 miles per hour in a DeLorean to go back in time, the Hotel des Dromonts can take you to a warm and cosy version of the swinging 60’s made with bright colours and retro bespoke designed furniture. The 35 various size rooms available from club room, a sort of skier’s pod with built-in furniture, to Family Suites have precise identities, tinted red cedar woodwork, vibrant 60’s style fabrics, boudoir style relaxation baths, and windows designed to maximise the views of the surrounding mountains. Here you can even imagine staying in an alpine version of Austin’s pad. Groovy Babe!

Hot tub in the snow - Great Scott! The surprises at the Hotel des Dromonts are not over as access to the beautiful wellness area and spa Pure Altitude, including outdoor Jacuzzi and sauna, fitness room and treatments (payable in resort) area is included. Then the bar Le Festival offers a retro retreat for a stylish après ski and there are two restaurants to choose from. Free WiFi is also included.

"Very nice!"

Benjamin
4/ out of 5
Higher end hotel but slightly smaller rooms than cimes du soleil. Had 2 lovely restaurants but you get a bit tired of eating in the same place. Very nice place, nice bar, nice loungey bit, cosy, ski in/out. Ski hire short walk away. Had a proper gym and spa/sauna and outdoor jacuzzi, if I was going back with just my son I’d go to to the cimes du soleil. If I was with my wife I’d go to the Dromonts.

"Would go again."

It was great, we stayed there twice already. Lovely staff, everyone is really nice! Food is lovely, the only thing is that there are two restaurants, but they do not change their menu, you can eat in either restaurant, but they keep the same menu. Ski -in and ski out. A little bit of walking or polling on the way back. Nothing too much at all and very close.
