I had an amazing weekend at the Kings Hotel. Yes, it was expensive but prices are standard for Verbier. The staff was amazingly accomodating from the on-call chauffeur service to food requests to reservations and recommendations. The decor was dated, yes, but actually quite charming charming and having a fireplace in the room was amazing. More importantly the beds / linens were very good. The rooms were impeccably clean. In repsonse to an earlier review - I am a huge fan of the pre-ski breakfast - typically alpine style but fulfilling until a late lunch on the mountain.

The Kings Bar downstairs is also a not-to-miss.

I recently spent a long weekend at the Kings Parc during the latest big snowfall and found this old charmer to be an ideal refuge in the very social Verbier scene. the staff were all very friendly and helpful - even locating some much needed headache tablets for me after hours!
As a frequent business traveller in an age of hyper-modernism in boutique hotel design, I find authentic small properties like the this a real treat. The restaurant is warm and cosy and served excellent Italian fare and I also cannot say enough about the the Lounge. This is a genius retro delight that was a great meeting point with our group over the weekend: it's like your own private club, complete with roaring fire personal bartender. Overall a great experience and a good value.

I tend to rent apartments rather than hotel rooms in ski resorts, but I had the opportunity to stay over at Kings Parc last week. No question that the hotel could use a "pick-me-up" renovation, but the room was spacious and very nice. There was a great choice of pillows, and I really dug the "bearskin" blanket, very sexy. I want one at home. The hotel must also be one of the closest to the lifts, and it's got parking -- both big pluses.

I ate at the restaurant, and it was better than expected. I've had a lot of mediocre ski resort food, but I thought it was very good here, and the wine list was super. Again, the room could use some updating, but it was lively and convivial, yet not so loud that I couldn't have a great conversation throughout dinner.

Best thing: service. The front desk staff was extremely helpful at all hours, answering questions, researching things on the internet, making me feel at home. I had to leave really early in the morning, and they made sure I had a coffee and a just-baked pan au chocolat before I did.

I'll be back!

I'd kept my expectations low as a result of the various comments that the hotel was more of a two-star hotel than a four-star hotel. As a regular hotel user, I would now, after my stay, tactfully disagree with that analysis and can only assume that the different apartments are furnished to different standards. My apartment (a junior suite on the first floor) was furnished to a high standard. The pine furniture was a little worn in places but it was quality furniture (real wood not IKEA chipboard). The beds, sofas and windows were all modern. Importantly, the rooms were all spotlessly clean and the kitchen was equipped with modern appliances.

The entrance to the hotel is indeed a little difficult to find as the building faces away from the street from which it takes its address. The easiest way to find the entrance is to head down Route de Verbier Station and take the path to the right of the Denner supermarket. The location is indeed noisy at night in terms of drunken Brits, but this is true of all centrally located hotels.

The summer rate of CHF 75 per suite per night is vastly lower than the winter rate, so the "value" category below may not apply in winter.
