A place to stay in Brides-les-Bains

It keeps things straightforward: non-smoking rooms with private bathrooms, free parking, wifi throughout and an on-site restaurant with a bar.

Who this stay suits
A modest 2-star alpine hotel where the draw is friendly staff, an on-site restaurant and solid value, not luxury fittings.
Best for
- Skiers on a budget
- Families needing flexible room layouts
- Travellers with pets
- Drivers wanting free parking
Less suited to
- Travellers after high-end facilities
- Anyone wanting slopes at the door
Mountain-facing rooms
Rooms look out over the mountains, and some include a walk-in closet. All are non-smoking with a private bathroom, hairdryer, flat-screen TV and free toiletries. Configurations run from a standard double or twin up to a family room with twins and a bunk bed.
Terrace, garden and sun deck
Outside there is a garden, a terrace with outdoor furniture and a sun deck. These give guests somewhere to sit with a view after a day of skiing or hiking, rather than heading straight back to the room.
Restaurant and bar on site
The hotel has its own restaurant and a bar that shows live sports broadcasts. Breakfast is listed among the most popular facilities, and eating in means no need to drive into the village after a long day.
A short drive from the village
The hotel sits a short drive from the village of Brides-les-Bains, so a car is the practical way to get around. Free on-site parking takes the cost and hassle out of that.
