The hotel was really good. Really nice. The food was really good. The room was fine, the hotel is quite 1970s retro, it’s nice. It’s in a good location for skiing, you can ski more or less to the door.
The hotel can be a bit like a large chalet, there is a nice bar and reception area to sit in. I didn’t get a chance to use the spa, I was too busy skiing.
The hotel is in 1600 which is nice and quiet, there are a few bars but if you want to go out 1800 is better.

I don’t usually go back to the same place twice, but if I was returning to Les Arcs I’d have no qualms staying in the hotel again. It’s all quite 70’s style, not a top luxury 5 star hotel if you were looking for somewhere really top end but for what it does and the price you pay it’s excellent.
The hotel is fine and the food was really good – the Christmas dinner they did was really nice and it was lucky they did it on Christmas Eve as one of the people I was skiing with had an accident the next day and would have missed it. Breakfast was a decent buffet with everything really and dinner alternated with a buffet one day and dinner served to your table the next . It was usually traditional French stuff and always included a salad buffet.
To come to the slopes from the hotel was basically a five minute walk (in ski boots), for everything else you literally walk out the door and there are bars and restaurants right there. The main pub in the resort is right outside the hotel and is good for watching sport.
We had a nice big room with a balcony facing the ski slopes and it had everything we needed. There’s a sauna downstairs which you could book for yourself and the gym was good enough. We liked the bar and the staff were very friendly. It would be a good place for families as there’s a really big crèche.
