Luxury Spa Hotels in Meribel — 8 of Our Favourites

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.

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.

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.

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.

The hotel is the fruit of 50 years of family work. In 1963 long before the birth of Meribel, Marius and Lucette Dallery laid the foundation stone of La Chaudanne. This was to be the first step of a family history that would see three generations follow and perpetuate this way of life in the mountains. More than a job, welcoming guests to their home is a passion for this family of hotelkeepers.

Each room is unique, combining wonderful characteristic the warm wooden interiors of the mountains with modern luxury. All rooms are equipped with bath or shower room, telephone, TV with satellite channels, free WiFi broadband, mini bar and safe.

And that is not the only way to relax after an invigorating day on the slopes - unwind in the sauna, hammam or whirlpool, sip apéritifs at the piano bar or recline in front of a roaring fire. Savour exquisite candlelit meals at one of the most sought-after restaurants in Méribel. Fresh regional products feature strongly on the menu and dining here is of the very best you will find in the resort.

The hotel was the second hotel built in the resort way back in 1952. Contrary to some luxury hotels the atmosphere retains a warm, cosy feel, just as you would hope for in a mountain retreat of this calibre. Attention to detail, as you would expect, from the luxury bathroom products through to the evening entertainments at the bar, is impressive. For many this hotel is the hotel in Meribel.

Close to the centre of resort, it also gives you easy access to all the local shops, bars and restaurants. There are 44 beautifully furnished rooms, suites and duplex; all with balconies and fabulous views over the ski slopes or the Meribel Valley.

The children will be entertained in the dedicated children's area with board games and a video games console and for the adults the hotel houses the only spa in Meribel Mottaret which features a sauna, steam room, Jacuzzi, sensory shower and two treatment rooms. 

The outside terrace offers you the chance to soak up the last of the sun after a day on the slopes...or to enjoy a few hours perfecting that goggle tan in the middle of the day.

The Alpen Ruitor also offers a seminar room for business bookings, with a capacity for up to 40 people. The room has great views over the Meribel Valley.

All rooms include flat screen TVs, Blu-Ray player, free WiFi access and many also have balconies with fantastic views over the resort.

After an active day on the mountain, guests can relax in the hotel's wellness area. It offers a wide range of massages and beauty treatments using the finest Carita products which will leave you feeling soothed and refreshed. The indoor swimming pool and spa area is the ideal place to revive tired muscles after a day on the slopes.

Built in the early 90's for the Winter Olympics in Albertville in 1992, the interior has been regularly modernised using local wood and natural materials to retain an authentic mountain style and ambience.

There are various categories of room available, including a mezzanine suite for up to four people. In the rooms, as you would expect in a hotel of this standard, you will find satellite television and en-suite bathrooms. There is lift access to all the floors, even from the garage.

After a day on the mountain you can return to the hotel and unwind in the sauna reviving any aching muscles, work out at the gym or head to the games rooms where you can indulge your competitive streak in pool, pinball and other arcade games.

The hotel also offers self-catered apartments as part of the same residence, where you can enjoy your independence with the added bonus of using all the facilities of the hotel, including breakfast, use of the hotel bar, sauna, laundry and individual ski lockers.
