I must confess to being absolutely gobsmacked by the previous reviews now having stayed in this hotel. It is second only to a dump in Instanbul where I had the misfortune to be a guest as the worst hotel experience ever. Other than it's attractive lobby area it is without a redeeming quality. The food ranged from banal to awful, the room was miniscule and without a single trapping of luxury, the "spa" was two little rooms in a cellar below the kitchen, and the service was amateur. Nothing has been done to the place since it was built in the 70's. The linens were poor, carpets were worn, I truly cannot believe the other reviews. We spoke to a couple of other guests who agreed with us, though they were less disappointed with their evening meals (having paid for half board we ended up eating out all but one night). And all of this splendor was ours for only 400 euros a night! My husband never complains and even he was outraged. Avoriaz is a great resort but travellers, rent an apartment. Avoid this overpriced, 1 star facility at all costs.

Even though we didn't stay at the hotel (we had a friend's timeshare in Avoriaz) we found this the best place to spend an evening. The drinks are pricey (as you might expect), but the service was the best we found in the whole town! The food was excellent, and the surroundings were great for relaxing. We went during the Avoriaz Jazz Week, for which des Dromonts is a venue. A nice bonus !

A beautiful setting and the hotel was stunning. It's a quiet hotel (not for those of you that like to stay up late). The staff are very attentive and helpful and the hotel very "boutique". Arrived at night by cable car which is the only way up to Avoriaz if you are not driving. If you don't speak French you may have a problem finding transport to the hotel. There is a Snow Cat, but, we made a mistake and ended up having to walk with our cases. Would stay again....

We stayed in Les Dromonts for a week one January. The approach to Avoriaz is stunning - the town is perched on a high cliff face, all very James Bond. As we arrived in the town we were delighted to discover it is horse drawn vehicles only, so our taxi deposited us and our luggage and we transferred to one of the local horse taxis. Les Dromonts is the nicest looking hotel in the town (the whole town is beautiful with a very definite modernist architectural style). The hotel's interior is stunning - the lobby/lounge area feels a bit like a kitsch US lodge - lots of wood and open fires, but with very contemporary decor. We loved it. The room decor was pretty boring in comparison, but we didn't expect to be in there much anyway. The food was stunning also - although a bit too rich at times. Unfortunately during our stay there was just too much snow - white outs and blizzards and many runs were closed. Avoriaz doesn't offer much apart from skiing and after the first couple of days, we got bored with playing board games around the fire. And sick of the only UK speaking tv, The Fashion Channel! In summary the hotel is really expensive, but does have a completely unique interior and location - and the food is really very good.
