The Best Hotels in Morzine, France for Every Traveller

Despite what the name might suggest, Hotel l’Igloo is not, in fact, an igloo, but a family-owned, wooden-built hotel. The rooms have a traditional alpine feel, thanks to the wooden backboards, beams and furnishings. They range from singles for the solo traveller to more spacious triples and quads, if you’re in a group. Don’t leave without a beer and a Scotch egg at the microbrewery opposite, La Bec Jaune. The Super Morzine gondola is 200m away, and the Pléney is 250m.

There’s a certain aged luxury to the rooms at Les Airelles, a hotel in the centre of Morzine. Each one comes with a balcony, and they’re decorated in typical Savoie style, simple but elegant, with lots of natural light. There are two restaurants: Les Jardins d’Ulysse by the heated swimming pool, or Les Airelles, a more traditional mountain dining experience, with tartan tablecloths between dark, wooden walls. As well as the pool, there’s also a spa with sauna, hammam, jet shower and massage rooms.

If you fancy skiing right into your hotel at the end of the day, opt for Hotel Champs Fleuris – the hotel is at the foot of the Pléney piste. There’s even an in-house resident ski guide to take you round the slopes on certain days. Each week, the Hotel Champs Fleuris also organises both a lunchtime raclette in a chalet on the slopes, and a cheese fondue dinner with live music.

Fleur des Neiges is at the bottom of the Pléney ski slope for easy accessibility to the slopes. Rooms are warmly lit and soundproofed with balconies that open onto the mountains. There’s an outdoor heated swimming pool and sauna; meanwhile, back in the lounge, armchairs in front of a fireplace are waiting for you to curl up in. In the morning, scoff a big breakfast of fresh French bread and cheese before hitting the slopes. By nightfall, you’ll be ready for the all-inclusive three-course dinner in the hotel restaurant.
