Villars Palace

Great team at hotel; very friendly & courteous Great breakfast Excellent restaurant (1913) & chef; deserve 1-2 Michelins Room 5XX are NOT on 5th floor -- they are on -1 (spa) floor. To get from 501 to the main elevator (or to the -1 entrance) we had to cross the spa zone of silence. Arguably not a "real room". We upgraded to an excellent 4th-floor room.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the hotel in terms of both hard and soft product. The hotel and its surroundings are very well kept and everyone in the hotel is extremely helpful. The lobby, spa, pool and rooms are all very well thought of and beautifully decorated. Unlike the rest of the Europe they don’t seem to be short on staff and every request is handled quickly and with care. The only thing I would want to see in the future is some changes to their rooms. As many families with small children visit this hotel they absolutely need to put minibars in their rooms. No one wants to go the bar they have on every floor or call for room service for a glass of milk or some baby food in the middle of the night. Also our room did not have a physical door for the shower room, I do not know about you but I don’t like my little children running in and out as I am trying to have a shower. Also no locks on their toilet door which was a seperate area. These minor things however do not take anything away from the 5 stars this property deserves.

Another wonderful stay in this beautifully restored hotel. Elegance, top notch hospitality and probably the most amazing breakfast buffet you can get. Rooms are large sized with very comfortable bedding and a breathtaking view over Villars and the entire valley. The dinner in the 1913 restaurant was an unforgettable experience thanks to the sommelier Vasili’s unstoppable enthusiasm to make you discover new wines and the remarkable work of the very charismatic culinarily director Christian Bertogna who signs off each dish with a final touch par le maître himself.

We were so lucky to be at the Villars Palace these 3 days. The pool-gym-spa-bar were very nice after a day of hiking, but even more appreciated when the rain scratched our subsequent hiking plans. While it poured down, our family group could enjoy each other and the facilities in this big, beautiful, central hotel with its impeccable service. Their staff with their van even saved us from getting drenched after our dinner in a nearby restaurant. Special compliments for their wonderful buffet breakfast – so much choice and without waste. Plans to return are afoot.

Wonderful hotel with magnificent views over the Alpine landscapes, the lobby and several rooms are like balconies over the mountains. We had a truly pleasant 4-day stay here with great gastronomy options, a very cool DJ entertainment and cozy and modern meeting room facilities. A huge thanks to Mrs Donnet and Mr Girod for allowing us to discover this little gem and thanks as well to Mrs Aloma and Mrs. Doroth for their very professional restaurant service.

My husband and I went to Villars Palace for a weekend getaway and we brought our cat with us. Everything was organized for our little kitty. The hotel is pet friendly and super kind animals. The staff is very helpful and nice. The amenities are great and the food is delicious - from the breakfast buffet to having breakfast in the room. From their Gault Milleu 1913 Restaurant to Peppino trattoria that was across the street and part of the Villars Alpine Resort - everything was perfect. I also loved the lnstant Glow treatment at KAEA Spa and the jaw-dropping view from the pool.
