The first five star hotel in Méribel with an aqua-spa and fabulous restaurants
The combination of location, fine facilities and 50 years of know-how make Le Kaila an exceptional luxury hotel.
From the en-suite bathrooms all of which are equipped with Jacuzzis and steam rooms, to the use of beautifully crafted traditional materials alongside the most modern of amenities. The refined décor and use of muted tones creates a cosy but 'oh so chic' atmosphere.
They have three standards of rooms and five suites available ranging from 30m2 to 130m2, all decorated with natural wood and textured fabrics, cushions and finishes giving a smart, classic twist to the chalet-style interiors you see in a lot of properties in the area.

Also in the hotel is the large (500m2) Nuxe Spa which houses an indoor swimming pool, aqua-gym, hydro-massage, six treatment rooms and is again decorated in chic natural colours with lots of stone and wood features. And if pampering yourself wasn't enough, then there are a number of high-end clothes boutiques selling top of the range clothing and ski gear.
Open daily from 09:00 until 01:00, this is a place for you to relax and enjoy at any point of the day. From a coffee and the newspapers in the morning to a snack lunch or afternoon tea, an après cocktail or an end of the day whiskey, this cosy lounge bar has a relaxed and inviting atmosphere.
The hotel has a dramatic looking Michelin starred restaurant where chef Laurent Azoulay creates dishes from local seasonal produce and provides you with his take on the traditional authentic mountain cuisine.
