Hôtel Arbois Bettex

Just had 5 nights with the family on a skiing holiday in this lovely hotel located right on the slopes. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, the lounge with stunning views of Mont Blanc is stylish and welcoming, the rooms despite being a little tired are warm, clean and have crisp white sheets and fluffy towels. We also had balcony with mountain views. There were some lovely touches too, like little teddy bears on our children’s beds and a bottle of champagne on arrival because it was New Year’s Eve. The spa area with a sauna for hotel guests is a really nice bonus, as is the heated boot room for ski boots. It was great to sit in front of the open fire in the restaurant after a day skiing and sample the menu and range of drinks. Yes the menu is not extensive but you can turn starters into mains and mix things up to add variety - it’s all delicious. And it is pricey but no more so than anywhere else on the slopes. Overall this is a relaxed, peaceful and friendly three-star hotel that was perfect for a family skiing holiday. Would definitely go again. Thanks for looking after us!

This place went above and beyond on every level. My brother and I were very late checking in after midnight. The hospitality that we were shown and the grace that was given for our late check-in was so appreciated. They literally left the light on for us.Thank you to all the staff for a wonderful time. The views are amazing too. We highly recommend this hotel.

Perfect ski in and out ideal for a short ski break. Hotel decor in bedroom and dining room is tired and needs updating. The breakfast room has stunning views of mount Blanc. Food was delicious. Disappointing the fire pit was not ever lit. Spa was definitely a bonus. Staff friendly and very helpful. Great location.

This is a very small hotel, about 30 rooms, right at the foot of the ski slopes, with stunning views all round. Stayed there for a weeks skiing with a friend (the skiing is great there). The staff were all lovely, really helpful, hotel spotless, beautiful lounge and terrace, comfy dining room with log burner, and bar on the end of the hotel. Rooms a bit shabby but I guess they are doing the place up gradually. Very clean and comfortable though, great bed, and plenty of hot water. I stayed in a Superior room which was very spacious and had a balcony to sit out on, overlooking the slopes. I very much enjoyed the food: good variety at breakfast. The evening menu is quite short but they change the fish and meat option every day so there is plenty of variety, and everything I had was delicious. Very good drinks menu, if I have one criticism I would have liked a cheaper local wine option. We were very happy overall with what the hotel offered but should say that Le Bettex is a tiny hamlet, and the shops and bars there are only open during the day / early evening. This means if you want to eat elsewhere you really need a car, as there is nowhere else within walking distance at night. Also, because of the hotel location, you need to walk quite a way from their car park to the hotel with your luggage. These are not criticisms, just what you get if you want a ski in/out hotel. I loved my stay there and will certainly return if I get the chance.
