I was very underwhelmed by this hotel. They try (unsuccessfully) to pull off Indian/ Tibetan pastiche mixed with an Alpine chalet style, which when juxtaposed with some truly hideous contemporary art just doesn't work. Even setting aesthetics aside, the (deluxe) room was fairly cramped, poorly appointed and seemingly cheaply built. The bathroom is average, although the bath is a decent... More

Beautifully appointed with great amenities. They have accomplished what is hard to do, which is being a great family hotel in addition to being unmatched for adults without children. Superb spa, great bar & lounge in addition to a civilised cigar bar with a fully contained ventilation system. Food to die for with attentive service.

This was the second time that we've stayed at the Manali. We were a family group of six. It is very comfortable and the staff are excellent. Special mention to Frank in the boot room who is incredibly helpful and really helps when children have boot problems. However you pay Courchevel prices so the comfort and service comes with a...

Just back from a great week at the Hotel Manali. We were originally choosing between the Manali at level 1650 and some of the pricier options up at 1850. We definitely made the right choice!!! While still expensive - we certainly got our money's worth - without all the fake glitz. I have never had an easier ski vacation. EVER!... More

We stayed for a week’s skiing at half term. As with previous years the service was fantastic, the staff (especially the boot room team) could not have been more helpful. The facilities are great, the pool was spotless, cleaning brilliant and lots of little touches (small robes for the kids, well equipped toiletries, lots of wardrobe space, etc.) make this... More

A group of 6 of us went to Courcheval on Friday 27th January for 3 nights. We wanted a weekend skiing break so needed something which was convenient easy and had a touch of luxury. Hotel Manali more than met our requirements. It is literally a ski in ski out hotel where there are a couple of drag lifts practically... More

We had a lovely stay in Courchevel 1650 and loved the hotel but it really was so expensive...but then so was everywhere in Courchevel! This isn't specific to the hotel and so isn't a complaint against it but the cost did dominate the stay - cans of coke were around 7 Euros, vegetable soup 15 Euros, cheeseburger and chips in... More

1 Week skiing with two kids (7 & 9). This is was our second stay as we thought it ticked all the boxes. Great interconnecting rooms for families. Staff that could not try harder to be helpful. Skiroom where they help with boots, carry skis, help the kids, etc. all with a smile. Kids clud with w-ii and games for... More

Manali is a wonderful place to stay if you are planning a trip to the French Alps. It is located at 1650 and while most people probably prefer 1850, we found the location to be great. It was ski in/out and if we wanted to start at 1850, the hotel had a complementary shuttle to transport us. They also couldn't... More
