The Méribel ski area : A paradise at the foot of Le Coucou

Enjoy an extraordinary stay in a Méribel hotel at the foot of the slopes

Located at the foot of the slopes, our hotel in Méribel is set on one of the most beautiful sites of the resort. Enjoy a ski-in, ski-out experience with your family, your partner, or your friends in a 5-star hotel overlooking the 3 Valleys. Fancy a romantic weekend away? Want to spend some time with your family or friends? Our 55 rooms, including 39 suites, offer the perfect setting, and for an extraordinary view of the nearby mountains, most of them have a terrace.

The Ski Room: the real plus of our 5-star hotel

Would you like to try out a helmet or gloves, or get yourself some new sunglasses before hitting the black pistes? Designed as a boutique lounge with a fitting room and cosy coffee shop area, the ski room in our Méribel hotel opens directly onto the slopes.

Every day, all ski equipment is managed by a dedicated team, with a personalised setup for each room. You’ll be ready in no time because everything has been designed with you in mind. We’ve thought of everything (bottle of water, tissues, lip balm and cereal bar in the whole family’s rucksack), so you can go skiing, snowshoeing or hiking with nothing to worry about. And when you return, we’re there for you too: leave us your wet things and you’ll find them spotless the next morning. Our Méribel hotel at the foot of the slopes can also store your equipment from one year to the next, so you don’t have to bring your jackets, skis and helmets with you next time…
