Ideally located in the Alps in the 3 Valleys ski area, the warmly welcoming village of Brides-les-Bains is linked directly to Méribel by the Olympe gondola lift.

The breakfast was excellent with a very good range of cereals, cold meats and cheese, eggs and different breads and pastries. We had a good view over the the valley and mountains from our rooms.
Located in the centre of Brides-les-Bains, this hotel is just 200 metres from the main gondola lift. It offers a heated outdoor swimming pool and an onsite restaurant.

we used this hotel as a stopover on the way to Meribel - we arrived late and left early it was perfectly fine but very basic - the staff were friendly it was easy to find and the parking was free.
Savoy Hôtel is situated in the heart of Brides-les-Bains, which is linked directly to Méribel by the Olympe gondola lift (300 metres), in the largest ski area in the world.

There were days that I just wanted coffee and the restaurant caters to those who pay for full breakfast. It would be nice to have either coffee in the room or access to coffee.

Brides is a lovely small town ideal for those who want to enjoy the ski area of the Three Valleys but who want a more relaxed, low key environment for the evenings. There is a lovely park alongside the river to enjoy an evening stroll. There are a few bars and restaurants but you don't come here for night time entertainment.

It is really unfortunate that the mayor's idea to boost the town as a location for skiers is to put on over-loud and poor quality bands in the town square. This absolutely ruins the experience. Suppose you are tired after a day of skiing and want to settle down to dinner in comfort? How will you feel if all you can hear is amplified drum beats?

Brides-les-Bains is a cheaper and convenient way of skiing the Meribel / 3 Valleys ski area.
The area is quiet but with plenty going on, and lots of lovely restaurants. The gondola is centrally located, there is an Intersport hire shop attached to the gondola but I found this pricier than the central location (2 minutes down the road). You can however, hire lockers from the Intersport located at the gondola station which was really useful, but worth noting that the locker has a space available for individual sets of skis so will need one per person.
Brides-les-Bains is full of lovely restaurants, however it is vital to book. On our first evening we were wondering around for a while trying to locate somewhere to eat. It appears that they have several 'sittings' for dinner and will often put up a sign to say they are full. We then made bookings for the rest of our stay to avoid this issue.

We love Brides Les Bains as it is not wholly a ski resort - it has a character that is more about the valley location and community than the skiing with interesting buildings, a park, a river and valley scenery. It's a fairly quiet village, although it's livelier in school holidays, when there is usually some kind of entertainment on at the end of the day.
Eating out is varied, although there aren't a huge number of venues.
The village offers free parking in a variety of locations.
It is very easily accessed, and we have never been affected by the weather conditions for getting there or getting away.
Accommodation, both catered and un-catered, is plentiful and reasonably priced.
Plenty to do for non-skiers with well sign posted walks and interesting towns nearby.

French town situated in the valley just below Meribel.
French town situated in the valley just below Meribel. It's connected to the three valleys ski area by a 25 minute gondola ride. As it opens 1/2 hour earlier you actually don't miss any skiing.
Everything seems much cheaper than up in the mountains, and for a cheaper option with access to fantastic skiing it's worth considering as an alternative.

Brides great satellite of the 3 valleys.
Brides great satellite of the 3 valleys. Nice bars and restaurants. No too many drunken idiots. Plenty of character. Lift takes about 25 mins to get to Meribel centre. Hence the good value for money. (DO NOT MISS the last lift alternatives aren't good. )Easy to drive to , Bus from the station in Moutiers - 10 mins or so.

Explore guest reviews of hotels in Brides-les-Bains
The food was ample and a new experience for me. I learnt a new french dish every night. I was expecting duplication of meals over a 9 night stay but every night, the meal plan was different. As all past reviews say, this truly is the closest hotel to the Olympe gondola to get to Meribel. This made the whole stay at this place the best package. The staff are incredibly friendly (even if you cannot speak their tongue). Never did I catch the staff ever having a 'bad day'. Always smiling, nothing was ever an inconvenience.
Great location next to the Olympe gondola and easy to get to from the train station. The family that runs the hotel is incredibly welcoming and attentive. The included breakfast was very convenient and the dinners that we had there were delicious. We also received a discount on our ski gear rentals by staying at the hotel, which was a great bonus that we did not know before our arrival.
the hotel is conveniently located with 5 mins walk to the ski lifts. the room was very clean and cozy with amazing views on the mountains. Lady at reception deserves a separate shout out - she went above and beyond offering the advice for food, booking restaurants for us and provided amazing customer service.
It's an excellent location if you are on a budget and want to avoid the high hotel prices in the 3 vallee resorts higher up. Hotel is at 5 minute walk from the cable car that will take you to Meribel in about 20 minutes. Town has a few restaurants, shops, some après-ski. Highly recommended.
Food at dinner was great. Spa was a nice touch, but often was out of clean towels so we had to bring from upstairs. Also, only open 3 hours a day (5-8pm) which is a bit odd, considering most restaurants close at 9 so we had to choose between spa and eating at a reasonable time.
The convenience cannot be understated. being able to roll out of bed in the morning make breakfast, then be on the slopes 45 min later, taking Olympia gondola. Then having a grocery store (Spar) literally a block away made things even easier for making meals at the apartment.
Very pleasant, well equipped, and easy studio in the middle of Brides-les-Bains. Well situated for the baths, the boulangerie, the mini market and restaurants etc. Very helpful communications from the hosts and clear instructions on how to check in and out.
We were unfamiliar with the area as it's our first time there, but we reached the hotel very easily by taxi from the train station, and the hotel was also located right next to the ski lift which brought us up to Meribel where we spent most of the day.
The property is conveniently located at the base of the Olympe gondolas which take you to Méribel Centre in less than 30min. The hotel has complimentary parking for its guests in the back as well as ski lockers. make sure to request one upon arrival.
The hotel provides an extremely convenient stay for those looking to enjoy a ski trip without much fuss or luxury. Location is very good and considering the cleanliness of the hotel, it's an extremely good value for the money.
The hotel has own parking place free of charge. Very nice hall and restaurant inside. Location in the center of the city. But location inside the quarter. be in attention and look at road sign. It helps you to find the hotel.
The host spoke perfect English and was very helpful. The apartment is exactly as seen in the pictures modern spacious and clean.
The kitchen was well equipped, and easy to use.
We stayed for 10 days very comfortably.
The staff at this hotel is fabulous, I must say. Ski locker was on the back of the hotel and just som 200 m from the Olympe gondola. They also had a cozy after ski on the patio.
It was a typical French hotel in the town centre, with a large, clean bed and bath room. The staff were lovely and the food really nice. I would definitely go again.
