We will only be here 3 nights. The hotel looks great and we are looking forward to our stay.
Curious if Verbier shuts down as much as a lot of Switzerland during shoulder season. Are there any special restaurants you would recommend?
This thread is rather sparse compared to most hotels and there don’t seem to be a lot of recent reports.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
I will post a detailed review later but since I don’t know when you will be staying, already a few quick notes.
This is the best W I’ve visited so far. I’m not a W fan but did enjoy my stay. Service level is much better than general W service.
Design and hard product is beautiful and very well maintained.
Restaurants on site are good although Carve sushi bar suffers from service issues. Food (including sushi bar) is good to outstanding. Unfortunately Arola’s tapas bar closed on April 1.
Local restaurants: Al Capone (for pizza and simple authentic food). Chez Dany is still great (right on the slope) for lunch or also for dinner (hike or ask snowscooter service).
We had booked 2 spectacular rooms and 1 was upgraded to fabulous suite using SNA’s. Hotel was full though in the end so I guess luck was on my side.
Plat benefits do include free bottled water from the minibar and upgraded internet. Kindly note that late check-out is not a guaranteed benefit here (resort).
Overall a really nice stay.
