- Noise Levels: While the hotel is generally a calm retreat, some rooms facing the village's bars and clubs could potentially experience noise if windows are open.

Luxury hotel at the bottom of the slopes - ski right to hotel. Gondola just a few steps away for the morning ride up. Great accommodations and nice spa. Breakfast was excellent with made-to-order choices and large buffet. Dinners were very good (not many dinner options in town). Convenient having ski rental in hotel. Staff very friendly and eager to answer any questions.

Great ski service on site too!
