Esprit Chalet Hotels
"Thank you very much to all the Esprit
staff, all of whom have helped
to make our week extremely enjoyable"
Webb-Crossley Family - Chalet Hotel Ambassador, Saas Fee, August 2007
|
Our four selected Chalet Hotels offer Esprit families the best of both worlds - the expanded facilities and greater degree of comfort of a hotel, combined with the conviviality and far less formal atmosphere of a chalet. |
Recently converted, the Annahof in Saas Fee has glorious glacier views plus a spa area with whirlpool, sauna and steam-room. |
|
NEW - the brand new Deux Domaines in Belle Plagne offers ideal family accommodation, an indoor pool and wellness centre. |
The Sapinière in Chamonix is full of traditional character, in an ideal location with fantastic views of Mont Blanc. |
Chalet Hotel Style
Being wholly run by Esprit, our Chalet Hotels offer a relaxed atmosphere with the friendly and welcoming convenience of our entirely English-speaking staff.
All suites and bedrooms have private en suite facilities, there will be a large dining-room, public areas such as a proper bar and lounge and most have 'wellness' facilities too.
As with our chalets, breakfast is included daily and children's high tea and adult-only dinner are provided six nights per week. On the staff's one day off per week, breakfast will be served for you as normal, and that evening you and your family have the chance to eat out in one of the local cafés or restaurants.
Children under 13 are not allowed to join the adult-only dinners and are served high tea at about 5.30pm.
In addition, all our Chalet Hotel guests are offered a complimentary light packed lunch five days per week (i.e., daily except changeover day and the staff's day off) comprising a filled roll, bag of crisps, chocolate bar, piece of fruit and a carton of juice.
Culinary Choice Dining
|
An additional feature of our Chalet Hotels is a more extensive culinary experience for our guests, offering choices of menu at dinner, and a substantial buffet breakfast every day, including a daily hot dish, such as sausages and bacon or pancakes, on top of our standard chalet meals. Adults will be asked to choose their evening meals at breakfast for that evening from a choice of two varied dishes selected for each course, plus a vegetarian option, and a cheeseboard will also be available each day to round off your meal if you wish. This year, we are also offering alternative choices for children's High Tea in our Chalet Hotels. In the same way that parents are asked to select their evening's choices at breakfast time, children will be offered a choice of home-made healthy options as well as standard children's favourites. Teen Rangers' Meals Our Teen Rangers have a separate meal together at 7pm on three nights a week and also eat out one night under the supervision of our staff, whilst the arrival meal and Family Barbecue are enjoyed in the company of fellow guests. |

Weekly Barbecue / Alfresco Evening
Once a week, normally on Fridays (weather permitting), there are no separate meals for children, as everyone dines together at our Family Barbecue or Alfresco Evening following the Alpies Show. Cocoa Club ensures that impatient youngsters who want to 'eat & go' are well cared for, while parents enjoy a more leisurely dinner!
Special Diets
We are also happy to cater for vegetarians and other special dietary requirements - please advise us at the time of booking, and on your Booking Form.
For further useful information, please see our Booking Conditions, where unless otherwise specified, information referring to 'Chalet' applies equally to our Chalet Hotels.
Esprit Chalet Hotel Diamond Ratings
To help you choose between our four Chalet Hotels, we show our Esprit diamond rating guide for each, as follows:
 |
a comfortable, no-frills Chalet Hotel, offering excellent value for money. |
|
|
a property offering superior levels of style and comfort in all living areas, from the bedrooms and suites to the dining-room and lounge or bar area. |
|
|
our top of the range Chalet Hotel, with outstanding, stylish comfort and excellent leisure facilities available. |
With no official rating system for Chalet Hotels in existence, our diamond rating is based on senior management inspections, coupled where available with guest feedback over the years. Although it cannot be compared with any other system, such as 'normal' hotel star ratings, we hope you find it useful in making your selection purely from our own range of Chalet Hotels. See Booking Conditions Paragraph 15 for further important information.
