To start with the positive elements, the hotel is absolutely beautiful, tastefully decorated and perfectly located. It is an ideal ski in/out base. The rooms are small but cosy and functional and we got upgraded to panorama rooms which boast amazing views on the valley. BUT… the hotel is so new that the whole area is still under construction and the valley view was partially obstructed by a crane. We were lucky to be there on a week-end but I can’t imagine the noise during the week. The staff is nice and mostly helpful but seems a bit lost and disorganised. We travel with two kids and asked for connecting rooms despite confirming that they had only a few connecting rooms, the hotel confirmed we would at least have two rooms next to each other but we got allocated rooms on each end of the wing. We eventually got two rooms next to each other with a door closing the access to the end of the corridor making it like a small apartment and after some back and forth for key cards not working we eventually settled in. There are not tea/coffee making facilities. A bit odd for a four star resort. But we got a kettle delivered to the room. Fun fact : I called from the room and got a call back a few minutes later to ask me in which room I was in… Unfortunately the bed was stone hard and the hotel had not yet acquired mattress toppers. But will they? So we had two very bad night of sleep. Shouldn’t it be an hotel’s top priority to offer decent sleep? We had booked an half-board package as the hotel advertises two restaurants : Italian and traditional Swiss so we went for dinner. Actually there is only one restaurant mixing both menus. You may read my 1 star review of “Chez Pietro” to find out more on this chaotic and sad experience. The receptionist agreed that they knew how terrible the restaurant is and that it is miles from a 4 star resort standing but unfortunately they cannot do anything about it as it is managed by a third party. Then why advertise, sell and charge for a service you know you can’t deliver? Fortunately we managed to get a refund for the second night dinner and went outside for a lovely meal at La Cambuse nearby. Unfortunately that same shameful restaurant also provides breakfast which kills a bit more the overall experience : Stale pastries, no hot food apart from eggs (but it takes them 3 times to make a sunny side up egg that is not smashed), industrial juices and cakes that they don't even bother taking out of the original packaging, low quality cold cuts and cheap smoked salmon served on its supermarket packaging! Definitely not a 4 star experience. Opening a new hotel is a challenge and it is normal to experience a few mishaps as long as management shows proactivity and works on taking corrective actions. It has now been two weeks that we wrote the hotel with our comments and to book a future stay next year (once problems would be solved and the area completed). Unfortunately, despite a gentle reminder, we didn’t hear a s
