Best hotels in Val d'Isère

Avancher Hôtel & Lodge takes the overall, luxury and popular wins in Val d'Isère, and the numbers explain why: a 4.8 rating from 1,113 reviews is a rare combination of scale and consistency. It isn't the highest star class in town, just 3 stars, but it backs its spa with breakfast, free Wi-Fi, a shuttle and family-friendly service, plus its own restaurant, bar, massage and hairdressing, all 550m from the centre. At €225 a night, the top of our price range, guests are clearly paying for polish rather than a plaque on the door. Book this if you want the hotel everyone else is already raving about.

Hôtel Le Blizzard takes the value and budget wins in Val d'Isère, proof that the cheapest hotel in a comparison can still be the classiest. It's a 5-star property at €155 a night, the lowest price among our picks, and just 50m from the centre. The amenity list reads like a luxury checklist anyway: pool, hot tub, spa, gym, bar, restaurant, room service, laundry, plus pet-friendly and family-friendly service on top of breakfast and free Wi-Fi. Its 4.4 rating from 294 reviews is a touch quieter than the resort's headline hotel, but nothing here feels like a compromise. Book this if you want 5-star facilities and a doorstep location without paying peak price.
