It was absolutely fantastic! A wonderful hotel! There’s nothing I can even remotely fault. They have an un-refurbished part and a refurbished part, we were in the un-refurbished bit, but that meant we got a 3 bed suite which was fantastic, a bit 70’s but so much space. Staff were honestly unbelievably friendly and helpful – they were amazing when I had a bad injury in the week. The food was fantastic. I would definitely recommend the hotel.

The hotel itself is very good.
You have new renovated rooms as well as older ones that are typically owned by private landlords, ours was one of those. It was kind of sweet, it looked like a chalet inside as everything was made of wood. We had a nice balcony however it doesn’t have the luxury quality that the renovated rooms had, for example our carpet was at least 30 years old and not very presentable. The bathroom was OK and the small kitchenette was fine (we didn’t actually use it much). The television was small but OK, modern with good channels. My bed was a bit small but I just asked for a bigger mattress and they sorted it out straight away.
A really good thing about Hotel Vanessa is that it’s far away from the bars and the clubs which means it’s quiet at night. Verbier is quite a trendy resort with some of the best nightlife in Europe and the centre is very busy in the evenings. The transfer service from the hotel to the lifts was very efficient. They have 2-3 vans that they use to take the guests to the runways and when you want to go back at the end of the day, you just call reception, tell them what spot you are at and they’ll come in 10-15 minutes. If you’re in Hotel Vanessa, the best valley to ski is the one on the right hand side.
Most of the hotel’s employees were very efficient and friendly and the owner was really nice too.
The restaurant was very, very good. You always have a dish of the day or you can order a la carte. In our case, we had half board so breakfast was also included, which was very nice.

I stayed in one of the unrefurbished rooms which was massive and really nice, so I imagine the refurbished ones are even better! There’s a wellness centre with a sauna and a jacuzzi and the restaurant and bar were both good. The food was amazing, very fancy, some traditional stuff, steak and things like that and also dishes like foie gras. Breakfasts had loads of options, from toast to fry ups and all the continental breakfast stuff. There was a dry room in the basement which had plenty of room for equipment.
The Vanessa has a really central location, right in the middle of town and only a five minute walk to the lifts. They did offer a minibus service to take you to the lifts but I was happy to walk.
