Terminal Neige - Le Totem sur Araches-La-Frasse

Big disappointment for this emblematic hotel of brutalist art. The only positive point is the exceptional architecture of the bar/restaurant and its friendly staff. On the hotel side, it's a disaster, not so much for the minimalist room with a bed that has lived well as for the Formula 1 type bathroom, aging, microscopic, without any welcome product. As for the spa, with supplement, there is no bathrobe. You therefore have the choice between crossing the hotel in a swimsuit or changing, like an external customer, in a changing room with a locker. In summary, 4-star hotel prices for 1-star service. Enjoy the bar, but don't stay at this hotel, it's not worth it.

We spent an afternoon at the totem spa and bar. Top spa team even if we hadn't booked, stunning view and bonus loan of the swimsuit that Madame forgot. At the bar, thank you to Ewen for these delicious cocktails and his good humor and professionalism ;)

A great hotel made even better by our barman called Alan. He looked after us very well and made it a very enjoyable trip

We had a lovely stay over the weekend. Extremely convenient location with great service and buffet breakfast

We stayed here Feb 2024 in a balcony room.. B&B The room was great, shower a bit low.. But fine.. Bed was enormous 🤩 Location is right at the foot of the slopes.. Fantastic. Service was exceptional.. All the team worked hard and were friendly and made the stay memorable. We ate out in the forum a few nights (Bauhaus is amazing) but also had 2 meals in.. Which were fantastic... Nothing ran out.. I wish I could have eaten more! A great holiday and Hotel Totem was a massive part of that. Thank you 👍

Excellent service Le directeur est même venu nous chercher , bloqué sous le neige dans la montée . Tres bien situé

Sehr schönes modernes Hotel. Die Architektur stammt aus den 1970 und ist im Bauhaus Stil gehalten. Im Inneren ist das Hotel modernisiert und auf einem aktuellen Stand. Der Service ist exzellent und lässt keine Wünsche offen. Das Frühstück ist nicht nur französische orientiert sondern bietet auch Eier in allen Variationen, Pancakes etc. Das Abendessen ist als Buffet gehalten und bietet alles von div. Vorspeisen bis Hauptmenü. Der Höhepunkt ist, dass man auf Wunsch auch ein Käse Fondue erhalten kann. Die Bar ist gut ausgestattet und bietet von Bier über eine vielfältige Weinkarte bis Cocktails alles. Der Service ist schnell und zuvorkommende. Highlight ist die Lage. Man kann direkt vom Hotel auf die Skipiste.

J'aime beaucoup, beaucoup la déco. Dépareillée et contemporaine, sans dénaturer l'ambiance montagne malgré tout, car très cosy. Mélange réussi et stylé, qui paraît inspiré des "Mama Shelter" je trouve (hôtels designés par Philippe Starck). Un plaisir de prendre un verre auprès de l'âtre, dans un confortable canapé, après une journée neige.

Excellent location to the ski lifts. Good quality dinner and breakfast while dinner can be very busy and food may run out in the middle for 7pm slot. Staff are polite, friendly and helpful. The rooms are very clean, but quite small and “unique” design of the room e.g. lighting, making it less suitable for kids. Overall very satisfied but I may try other highly reviewed hotels nearby.
