SOWELL Family La Lauzière

Superb resort-like ski/hike hotel with comfortable accommodation and communal facilities. We were delayed arriving but thoughtful reception staff phoned us to check our ETA & gave instructions for after hours arrival. Excellent buffet-style restaurant for evening meals, great choice of menu, breakfast can be taken out to a pleasant terrace on sunny mornings. Good swimming pool & superb mountain views. Pleasant comfortable room with good en-suite facilities.

Insecure step from room to veranda, definite trip hazard! Wooden fence around veranda in need of maintenance. USB sockets for charging mobile phone & iPad should be provided in hotels of this standard.

Modern room, easy parking, beautiful views of mountains, pool to cool off. Personnel was friendly and accommodating. Great restaurant (with great pizzas and other dishes) at a 15 minute walk down the mountain. I personally wouldn’t go for the all inclusive.

This is a family hotel so there are lots of kids around. Don’t go here for a quiet afternoon at the pool. Also the room was quite warm (admittedly during the July heatwave) and we brought our own ventilator.

Nice decor and rooms very quiet.

Couldn’t ski straight from hotel as snow melted...but that’s the risk when you go later in season.

good location , good amenities , good breakfast and Great team.

small but comfortable and stylish rooms. great breakfast.

Breakfast was good, snack always the same (cake and croissant). Staff super friendly. Hotel is next to the lift, but a bit difficult to reach. When you are a beginner is is really hard to get to the lift.

Hotel is renovated, but some things were forgotten. Dinner was served mostly cold. Wine

very nice location

pricy

Clean rooms, & laundry, Comfortable beds & bedding. Clean buffet, dining area & public hotel areas. unheated swimming pool has great view. Good dinner & breakfast but pricey. Internet ready TV unfortunately would not connect to WiFi to use some of the functionality. Good quality wi-fi.

I didn't like struggling to get a refund for an all inclusive bar bill of 30EUR. My 14 year old daughter & I were never going to get value from the bar bill. At first it was no, no no to getting a refund. Then I had to mention that I was very unhappy before a refund was offered for a payment that was made 20 minutes before. This experience completely spoilt my nights accommodation Poor view out of the window.from the accommodation. Pre-registration via Booking COM app difficult as the link would not copy & paste nor would did the code to enable pre-registration work on my android mobile. I am sure if I had a pc with me it might have worked. Location was OK but Google map location was a long way out..For downhill mountain biking at La Plagne it wasn't a great location but would be ok for skiing.

Friendly and welcoming check in. The room was small but comfortable. Recently renovated. Great shower but unfortunately wet bathroom floor each time you use the shower. Comfortable bed. Ski in & Out is great but only for experienced skiers when slopes get icy. For beginners its just a short walk to the gondola. Cosy bar with open fire place. Friendly staff, especially Gaelle (restaurant host and reception) and Avedis (bar). In-house ski rental with great staff. Free parking in front of the door.

The restaurant. It's a big dining room that lacks a nice atmosphere. We were very disappointed by the quality of the food, especially the diner. Dry chicken, dry fish. Burned rice. The ham in honey thyme sauce was delicious though. Limited choice, often empty bowls or cold food. It feels like there is no love in the preparation of the food nor its presentation. Breakfast is OK but nothing more than that.The terrace is great for late afternoon drinks after skiing but lacks atmosphere and needs more attention.

clean and drinks were accessible

reception access was limited and certain member unfriendly and unhelpful…evening meal was very basic rooms were small
