This unique hotel opened its doors to guests for the first time in December 2020, and is a great choice if you’re looking for something a little bit special. Simple and luxurious are not words often found together, but we’ll make an exception here - the Ullrhaus focuses on the essentials, and highlights their qualities.

Historic and charming, the Hotel Alte Post is justifiably proud of its four star superior rating and full of rustic Tyrolean tradition. The 1,000m2 wellness area is the ideal spot for a bit of relaxation. Complete with an indoor pool, multiple saunas, steam baths and an infrared cabin you will be spoilt for choice. The Hotel Alte Post has been awarded the prestigious 1 Gault Millau toques for its fine Alpine cuisine. There is also a wide selection of wines available to accompany your five course dinner

This modern hotel is a world of its own, with everything from restaurants and bars to a spa and bowling alley. It’s in a great location too, just a few minutes’ walk from the Arinsal gondola that’ll whisk you straight to the slopes. The design is a mix of themes, from the warm neutral colours in the bedrooms, to the light and airy Piano Bar, and the trendy industrial theme of Bar Bolera. For an extra charge, you can use the 10-pin bowling and arcade games or the spa – it’s a luxurious retreat where you can take time for yourself in the hydromassage pool, hot tubs and saunas. And while you’re unwinding, the kids can have fun with games and activities in the free children’s club

The Hotel Les Campanules offers exquisite, modern and chic design, with high levels of comfort and beautiful restaurant and lounge area. Located right in the centre of the Tignes Le Lac and almost backing on to the piste, giving superb access to the slopes. Guests are offered a range of wellness facilities including sauna, steam room and outdoor heated pool.

Named after the mountain peak high above Tignes, the Aiguille Percée brings together classic alpine style and modern touches, in a handy spot in Tignes Le Lac – just 5 minutes’ walk from the lift, ski school meeting point and nursery slopes. Some parts of the hotel are traditional through and through – like the mix of wood cladding and stone on the outside and in the bar and lounge.

For a great location in Val Claret, the Diva is hard to beat. It’s opposite the Tichot chairlift and just a few minutes’ walk from the funicular up to the Grande Motte glacier, and you can ski almost back to the door on a red or blue run. Once you're done, sit on the terrace to look out over the slopes, or head to the Irish pub to party 'til late. The hotel itself is a simple, no-fuss place, with traditional stone and pops of red from the carpets and cushions. There’s a big lounge and bar when you can kick back in the evenings or get your zen on in the sauna and steam room instead.

Smack dab in the middle of Val Claret, Hotel Le Ski d'Or is your go-to base for making the most of Tignes-Val d’Isère’s top-tier slopes. Just minutes from the lift and ski school meeting point, pros can carve up the vast terrain while newbies master the basics, before cruising the glacier’s gentle blues. You're also walking distance from all the bars, cafés and restaurants – perfect for a post-piste drink or two. The rooms here serve up classic comfort with stylish simplicity.

The Tignes 2100 draws people back year after year, and it’s easy to see why. This modern hotels in the centre of the resort, just a few minutes’ walk from the lifts, and is surrounded by amazing views – picture yourself watching the snow fall over the mountains from your room or sipping a cocktail overlooking the frozen lake. It’s got a chic-meets-cosy look, with lots of soft lighting, squishy sofas and earthy colours, plus cleverly designed rooms with lots of storage options. And there are plenty of places to relax – play board games by the fire in the lounge, get stuck into a good book in the library or wander down to the wellness area to drift between the outdoor hot tub, sauna and steam room.
