NOTE: This hotel is in the Val Claret part of Tignes and not main Tignes so it is further up the valley. We have just come back from a one week stay at this hotel and I cannot fault it or the staff that are party too its inner sanctum.
The Manager and his wife were a pleasure to meet and always amenable.
The bar and restaurant staff could do no more than they already did and were always on hand to help.
Our room had a pleasant south west exposure and it was great to open our curtains to a magnificent expanse of the mountain and some of its runs which made for an exciting start to each of the days we were there.
We stayed at the hotel under the bed a breakfast pension and really the breakfasts were a treat, buffet style but with lots to choose from sweet to savoury.
We ate at the restaurant in the evening three times. They served both an a la carte and a set menu. We had the a la carte once and the set menu twice and could fault none of the meals provided particularly the desserts. The cost of the menu was comparable to the outside restaurants where there was plenty to offer. The standard of the food both in an out of the hotel was exceptional for evening meals. Lots of regional dishes to choose from everywhere. We recommend the restaurant Pepe 2000 and its partner restaurant up the road under the bridge to the left of the hotel.
The hotel offered a small spa which my other half could vouch for and said was a blessing one day when he needed to ease the old bones.
There was a locker for your skis and racks to warm your boots in a little room at the reception level which opened to the outdoors. A perfect place to change for the slopes.
The positioning of the hotel was perfect for access to the lifts. Tufts was a five minute walk up a slight incline and the Bollin/Fresse lifts were skiable to in 5 mins through an underpass. You could ski back to the door at the end of each day if you chose!
I cannot fault this hotel one little bit.
Our room was compact clean and just perfect to our needs. Lots of storage space and comfortable bed. There was a nice sized bath and shower, with wash basin and separate WC. Bathroom bits and a hair dryer were provided and clean fresh white towels were available every day if requested.... we tended to keep ours, to be eco friendly. The rooms were cleaned every day and the beds made which was great to return home too after long hours on the slopes. No tea and coffee facilities or mini-bar though if you need these, bit coffee and tea could be got at the bar anytime of the day. There was a free safe in each room and you collected its key from the reception. Free wifi in the rooms you obtain the code at the reception.
The hotel was provided with a nice compact, comfortable and friendly bar area with chairs and slouchy settees. An open log fire was set up each evening and the bar was fully stocked with a smile at the bar.
The only downside to the hotel was the fact that the euro had at the time of our stay nearly equalled the pound and so what would have been usually a reasonably priced middle of the range costing boutique hotel came to be a non-usual expensive break away. My other half also didnt like that there was no porter to help with your bags but I think if we had asked someone would have helped.
Outside the hotel the ski range was exceptional with the glacier in striking distance by an underground funicular. Runs for all expertise and off piste also.
Val D'Isere was over the other side of the hill :( but too be honest I would rate TIGNES 100% against a mediocre 70% VAL D'ISERE.
Buy a full ESPACE KILLY SKI PASS and you can ski everywhere, the TIGNES ONLY SKI PASS is not worth the cost against this one.
Lots of eateries outside on the slopes but ridiculously expensive. For two each lunch we paid for soup, roll and a drink (hot or cold) minimum of £16 a day... make sure you pack your own lunch or eat heartily at breakfast time.
All in all I would come again, it equals les trois vallees where we have been before. The hotel I would recommend anyone to stay who has a nice bit of money put away for their break.
We drove to the resort, I warn you, you will need your chains unless you have winter tyres. Its an easy drive there but dont listen to your Sat Nav (get MICHELIN auto planner print off and head for Chambery) you will end up having a lovely detour to Mont Blanc if you listen to your Sat Nav( oh yes if you end up at Mont Blanc and want to wander into Italy, pay for a return trip on the French side otherwise you will pay a fortune)yep we forgot and ended up on a blocked road only 32 miles away from the resort and had to return from whence we came. But to be honest the drive and scenery was worth it from home if you have the time and can share the driving. Tignes is a car free resort and so you have to park your car in an underground car park... we organised this thorugh the hotel it was £16 a day I believe.
Well done Tignes and Hotel Le Ski d'Or... a true early ski nugget break for us.

This is a fantastic place to stay, don't read the negative comments! 14 of my friends and I stayed here for 8 days and NONE of us had any problems. In fact, the staff was super friendly, and accomodated to all of our needs. Will stay there again next year, FOR SURE! Oh, and the location is the best, just out the door and ur on the slopes. Perfect!

The hotel is new. The rooms are modern with a sobre design (consistent with the photos on their website). The hotel is well positioned (very close to the slopes) with a wonderful view from the rooms on the mountain. The restaurant is good with a professional staff. But this is not a real four stars’ hotel. Small details are not taken care of and we had the feeling that there is a certain level of "greediness" inconsitent with a top level hotel: (i) no minibar in the room; (ii) champoo and shower gel are not renewed each day; (iii) no skin cream available at the bathroom; (iv) you have to pay 7€ extra if you want an omelette in your breakfast; (v) people at the reception are quite cold. Of course, all these are small details but when you pay full quality you expect to have it. Furthermore, when we made our booking (3 months before) we have asked to have a high floor room which was confirmed but at our surprises we were at the first floor. We believe that even if it may be one of the nicest hotels in town it does not worth the 300€ paid for.

I reserved a week through planigo.com in ski dor that seemed nice from the web site and descriptions.But ariving there we had a lot of bad surprises .Starting with the superior and arrogant atitude of the manager of the hotel .The rooms we had 1 and 2 were in the second floor minus and they are the smallest rooms I ever seen .Actually in room nr.1 the double bed was really small probablly 1,40m width and everything in the room was tiny like for dools.All of these gave me a depresive status ,I wanted to feel good in my holyday for wich I payed good money .
In the first day we arrived we noticed a strong draught in the room and when I asked the manager to send somebody to check the windows he laughted in my face telling me that is impossible to be draughty.
Also he said that ''you have what you payed for''.
So we leaved two payed rooms for one week and in the second day we mooved out.
The manager not even asked why we are leaving early.Actually he was busy to sell again our rooms.
I heard a lot about french insolence and bad behavior but now I have the confirmation of this fact.
Expensive hotel for what they offer and realy unpleasant atitude.
