5 Star Hotels in Meribel — 3 of Our Favourites

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.

For further information or to make a booking please enquire directly or visit their website using the links on this page. 

The hotel has only 55 rooms, 39 of which are suites, most of them boasting a terrace with breathtaking mountain views. There are also two independent chalets connected to the hotel through a corridor.

Designed by award-winning architect Pierre Yovanovitch, the building and its decor "focus above all on the purity of lines, the strength of volumes, the elegance of materials and mastery of light, be it a 17th century château in Provence or a triplex in New York."

The hotel has a spa and wellness area with two swimming pools, a fitness area and a sauna. Beauty treatments are provided by organic skincare brand Tata Harper.

There are two restaurants and a bar in the hotel. Beefbar is a steakhouse offering the rarest meats in the world on the hotel's sun-drenched terrace, while Biancaneve is a gourmet Italian eatery. The hotel's chic lounge bar offers drinks, cocktails and snacks.

First built in 1982, the refuge has been completely renovated and expanded in 2019. A seven-bedroom refuge, two mazots and a chalet make up this charming boutique accommodation deep in the mountains, boasting five-star facilities.

Rooms are, obviously, all ensuite and have been decorated in a warm and simple Alpine style with wood, faux fur and understated colours, all of them boasting breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. There are also two authentic Savoyard mazots with small living areas and an 80m² chalet for up to 4 people.

There is also a gourmet restaurant, La Table de la Traye, serving regional cuisine, a smoking room with cigar cellar, and a gorgeous spa with a large selection of treatments and massages including milk bath, hay bed, sauna, steam room, Ishayi Dome sauna, water massage system, LED therapy and Stendo.

There are plenty of activities for the whole family including dog sledging, snowshoeing or mountain biking. Kids will enjoy entertainment and workshops, as well as a small farm and a games room. The refuge can be privatised for events and there's even a gorgeous chapel dedicated to Saint Bernard.

All of this in an eco-friendly estate with sustainable water and energy management systems (including solar panels and 4x4 electric vehicles), composting and waste compacting and use of local produce.
