Best Western Grand Hotel De Paris

Hotel is nice. Bit old but nice. Breakfast is ok. Kitchen is ok but has a lot to improve: Vegetarian concept for instance, chocolate fondant terrible; Room for meetings not adequate. Chairs not comfortable at all. Internet access not good and always falling. Service is not ok. Most of people are not nice. Not flexible. Actually we experienced very rude interactions: Example: pushing people with a table, on purpose, and not excuse; Some simple requests from guests were refused with nasty remarks ("The sun will disappear in 5 minutes, you can wait") less

This is a typical late 19th century hotel built for the wealthy middle class that could afford a vacation in the mountains. Rooms are quite spartan, not having a sofa to relax on, but otherwise adequate. The best aspect of this hotel is the kitchen which prepares surprisingly good food for lunch and dinner. Of course the hotel can be enjoyed as a starting point for hikes for those who like it. For a lazy visitor like me there is not much to do except for waiting for the next meal. less

I liked the charm of the old building, but Best Western can hardly claim credit for that. What they are responsibility for is the shoddy internet (slow at the best of times, non-existent for a couple nights) and rude serving staff. We were here for a conference during the off-season (October) and at every meal, 4/5 of the waiters acted like serving us was a huge burden -- nevermind that our conference was probably the only reason they collected a paycheque those days! There was one exception, a younger guy who perhaps just hasn't worked in the service industry long enough to become jaded? The others should retire already, and make room for the younger generation... It's not like this place is cheap, so I expect more. The breakfast was typical, neither good or bad, the lunches and dinners lacked variety. They were sneaky with the wine. We went to take a bottle from an empty table (our conference had reserved the whole dining room, so we had indirectly paid for every bottle in there, and as the table was empty, no one else from the conference was going to drink it), and the old guy server, who had already shoved that table into the wall and put away the chairs, stopped us with the excuse that someone might come, and instead opened another bottle that was no doubt charged to the conference, while the other bottle mysteriously disappeared into the kitchen. So yeah, basically stealing wine from the guests. The same guy was also splitting couples up to seat them at different tables, obviously on a major power trip. Sure it's just one person, but the fact that he still has his job speaks volumes of the hotel management. less

My family stayed twice in this hotel as a first stop on our way south. Lovely environment, in winter this is a ski resort. Lively little city center. Beds are OK, bathrooms suffise. Wifi isn't very stable. We did not have dinner i the hotel but went out for dinner. Breakfast is OK. As said we came back so price and quality of the accommodation are fine. less

My French husband and I (American) had our wedding of 80 people here. My husband grew up nearby and this was an absolutely perfect location for us. Our ceremony was outside on their large lawn overlooking the Vercors mountains. Our guests from all around the world were blown away by the view. Our aperitif was outside on their patio, overlooking the same mountains. And our reception & dancing was inside their classic, wooden, beautiful dining salon. The food was AMAZING. Planning a wedding from abroad is no easy feat, but with the help of our wedding planner everything went perfectly! If you're looking for a fun, adventure-filled destination wedding in the Alps in a town that is accessible and definitely NOT filled with tourists, Villard-de-Lans & the Grand Hotel de Pars is the perfect location. This hotel has been in the same family for 6 generations, which makes it very special! On the flip side, the rooms are very clean, but very simple. We opted to stay in rented chalets around town because we wanted a more luxurious accommodation experience. less
