Le Refuge de Solaise

Overall verdict: the hotel is very well equipped for a relaxing stay even for the more picky travellers. + The entire hotel staff is very professional, polite, and always available to answer inquiries any time of the day. The reception gives you upon arrival a small tour of the hotel, the spa and other facilities, offering you (in our case) a small welcome drink to kick off your stay. + The rooms are quite spacious for 2 people, well equipped and noise-insulated. Overall, it's very private. The bathroom has heated floors, and the shower offers enough space to be rather comfortable without being squeezed-in as it is sometimes the case in similar hotels. + Indoor spa (pool, jacuzzi, and steam sauna) are open 24/7. The gym, while good for cardio, could use some free weights. Yoga and pilates classes are available for the hotel guests as well. + Given the position and the capacity of the hotel, the restaurant offers a good variety of breakfast pastries, fruit, warm dishes, and beverages. + The common areas are regularly cleaned and well organised.

Excellent stay all around. The staff were welcoming and friendly. The location is unbeatable, so isolated, yet so easy to get into town using the gondola. The Mountain View room was stunning. The spa was wonderful and the room very comfortable. Would recommend to anyone! We did not want to leave!

The location was excellent! Starting a day with Morning Yoga session, followed by a breakfast with a _view_. Then off to days activities and finally ending the day in spa with a massage. The service and people there were superb. Having an own kitchen helped to overcome the short menu.

Fabulous location and views, staff incredibly friendly and professional yet relaxed. We enjoyed drinks on the terrace, a hotel tour, and evening meal all superb!! We will definitely go again and stay longer next time!!

They sat a large table of us in a corridor to the toilet rather than the atmospherics dining room - a room which wasn’t full. The food was fine, nothing special and we ordered so so wine for over £200 per head. Last season it had a band and dancing. This year, they just rinsed us with nothing special. Avoid and do something fun where your custom will be appreciated.

We booked this place for dinner as a huge treat for 3 families. We had heard great things about it and some of the group had been before. As a restaurant up the mountain it should have a USP. This was sadly lacking. We were placed in what could only be described as an corridor. Most of the food was pretty average. Simply putting truffle on everything does not make for a gourmet treat. No live music and absolutely no atmosphere. Poor vegetarian options and we were charged for one of our party who had had to fly home due to injury despite the fact we were 17! We will not be returning.
