Hôtel Le Kaïla

Staff were superb - especially concierge and also the ski shop staff, they really went above and beyond to ensure we had the most enjoyable experience Ski in/ Ski out is always a must for us as skier amd this hotel has a beautiful facility. Swimming pool could maybe do with being warmer but very enjoyable spa facilities as a whole

Our 2nd year in Méribel in a row . We decided to stay in town rather than a car ride away this year although last year’s hotel Le Coucou was marvelous . We spent 3 nights in January . The hotel is really lovely , very nice furniture and decor , the rooms are comfortable and cozy , the service is also top notch . We had booked two junior prestige suites , ample space to get really comfortable. The hotel is in town so the view isn’t wow . They initially assigned us a room on the 3rd floor with a horrible view of a rooftop and some glass dome . We immediately asked them to change the room for front facing view which was way better but still not the full Alpine experience but at least we were seeing the sky and the slalom ski run . Luckily the hotel didn’t seem full otherwise we would have been stuck with the other room at €2000/night and I wouldn’t be writing such nice words about our stay . One of the really nice features is the 1st floor bar area , it’s a really large space well appointed one can spend a long time there . Also a huge upside is the cigar lounge which was a godsend . The guys in the ski room are super nice and helpful (Christian you’re awesome) , quality of the ski rental is also top notch . Small elevator ride and we’re on the slope , super convenient. We were initially disappointed that the hotel had only one restaurant and it’s a Michelin starred , not something we would like to eat at every day but luckily right next door through a connecting door they have a 4 star sister hotel with a number of good choices so no need to go far . We had a fantastic experience but how would it have been if the hotel was full I’m not sure . We basically had the building to ourselves , the bar lounge was practically empty so was the ski room . Oh speaking of bar lounge , the club sandwich is a must .

Le Kaila exceeded every expectation. A nervous American who wondered how we would be treated in such a nice hotel, given we love a casual experience, I fell in love with every part of this hotel. Amazing front desk, a breakfast made from dreams, Francois in the ski shot, who personally put on our boots everyday ( yes he actually put on our boots and buckled them up, and at the end of day dried and cleaned boots!), skis placed on the slopes outside the hotel daily, beautiful rooms and lobby, unbelievable huge pool with many areas with jets to sooth you after a day on slopes. This was truly one of the best hotels we have stayed and can not provide a stronger recco for anyone going to Meribel. Location is superb, close to amazing shops and restaurants, cheese shops, and wonderful bars for apre ski!
