Hotels are available in all skiing nations, and in many cases there is the full range from no-star to five star deluxe. Enter your chosen ski destination + "hotels" to find ski hotels at your destination:
In most ski hotels you have the option of a bed and breakfast stay, half board or full board. Luxury resorts like Courchevel and St Moritz offer some of the world's best hotels with superb facilities and service. Around the world you can find hotels with just a dozen rooms, to giant complexes with more than 750 rooms and dozens of restaurants and other facilities under one roof at resorts in Japan. Fairly basic ski hotels are found in most mid-range resorts in the Alps and the Pyrenees. However an increasing number of newer luxury establishments with pools and other facilities like nurseries, spa and playrooms as well as good bars and restaurants are also to be found. Hotel prices are typically much higher than apartments in French ski resorts, but in some locations in countries like Austria and Switzerland, resorts and their hotels are actually busier in summer than the winter, so much of the winter is low season for them with price reflecting this. Variants to hotels include Chalet Hotels and Club Hotels, which are hotels run in the chalet style, and ApartHotels which are apartment complexes with optional hotel facilities and services. Some North American hotels call themselves Inns or Guest Houses. Pensions or "bed and breakfast" are particularly common in Austria and to a lesser extent Italy and even North America. Pensions are usually a very good value choice with accommodation frequently of a higher standard than other options below the more luxurious level hotel.
