We spent 4 nights here for a 3 day skiing trip. It is the perfect traditional hotel. Really cute but not at all naff. The reception staff were consistently pleasant and helpful. They also rustled up a kettle for our room (which only had a coffee machine) which made me extremely happy. The bar and breakfast room are nice but it is the spa that is the real scene stealer. It's the perfect, relaxing and unique environment. That said the sauna was too hot on 3 of the days I tried it (and I like them hot!) and the steam room often too cold to stay in. But sitting in the jacuzzi was perfect. And just what you want after a day of skiing. They didn't quite understand what a vegan might like for breakfast. I do appreciate it's the mountains and veganism really isn't common here. They kindly kept bringing me gluten free crackers but the bread was absolutely fine for me. I bought my own diary free margarine and kept it in our mini bar fridge. We were upgraded to a suite which was really lovely and quirky. It was nicely decorated with a mix of high end modern fittings and traditional furniture. My only grumble was about the raindrop shower. They are no good if want to keep your hair dry!

The Grand Paradis has an eclectic, yet grown-up, Alpine style. The room we had - a friend and I shared a twin room - was spacious and very comfortable. The mattress and pillows were particularly good. The hotel consists of two buildings that are joined, underground, by an intriguing tunnel. There is a bike room and a ski room that are accessible via the rear garden of the place. The staff are very friendly and the furniture etc of high quality. The hotel is part of a group of hospitality businesses in Cogne and residency at the hotel gets a 10% discount in the other venues. On checking in the hotel gives you a pass that provides free parking in most of the car parks in Cogne - note in this regard that in our experience the only effective way to reach Cogne for a skiing holiday is by car from the airports in Turin or Milan. The hotel does not have an evening restaurant but there are plenty of other eating options in Cogne so this does not really matter very much. The choice of drinks in the small hotel bar is a touch limited, but again there are other options a short walk away so this is not a problem either. The proprietor is an Italian gentleman of the old school, and his little dog is more or less the most adorable I have ever met.

“A beautiful character hotel in the heart of Cogne”

Very friendly staff, clean room, good buffet breakfast. The only negative point is that the ‘free wifi’ only really worked for us in the reception area, it was almost non existent in our room and when able to connect was so slow it wasn’t worth having!

“Historic hotel in beautiful Cogne, Grand Paradiso National Park”

This is a charming historic hotel. Our room was small but cozy. Breakfast was very good. The staff are friendly and helpful. It is just up the hill from the bus stop- you can take an elevator. The back garden is just across the street from the building that the elevator is in.
