Hotel Cresta et Duc in Courmayeur

A pleasant and welcoming place

We’ve just had a lovely stay, with some real highlights – but also a few frustrations, particularly with the room. First of all, the positives. The hotel is exceptionally well located in the heart of Courmayeur. The town itself is absolutely gorgeous, and it’s only about a five-minute walk to the main ski lift, which makes getting up to the mountain incredibly easy. You really couldn’t ask for a better base for a ski holiday. On arrival, we received a very warm welcome. The manager was friendly, informative and genuinely helpful, which set the tone for the stay. All the staff – from the waiting team to the barman – were consistently pleasant and attentive. The lounge and bar areas were relaxed and comfortable, perfect for unwinding after a day on the slopes. We stayed half board, and the food was a real highlight. Breakfast was acceptable but dinner was excellent – well thought out, imaginative and refreshingly different. We genuinely looked forward to dinner each evening and really enjoyed dining at the hotel. However, the main downside for us was the family room. We were two adults and one teenager, and the room felt very small and in need of updating. Not enough space to move around comfortably or store our belongings. The beds and pillows weren’t particularly comfortable, and the bathroom felt below the standard you would expect from a four-star hotel. While there was always plenty of hot water (which you would expect), the shower-over-bath setup felt dated. We also felt that if the room had been occupied at full capacity (as a family room with an additional child and the sofa bed turned into a bunk bed) it would have been extremely cramped. As it was, space was already very tight. Although the room had a nice balcony and a pleasant view over the street, it was unfortunately very noisy. We could clearly hear guests and staff outside the hotel at night, and early-morning street noise – particularly snow clearing from around 5am – meant disturbed sleep on several mornings. In summary, this hotel is a great choice in terms of location, food and staff, and we truly appreciated the warm service and excellent dining. However, the family room accommodation didn’t quite live up to the four-star standard we were expecting. With some updating and better soundproofing, it would be fantastic.

41 members of our Conioca Ski Group recently enjoyed a lovely ski week at this delightful hotel. Although the facilities are a bit worn in spots, the excellent service, friendly staff, cozy atmosphere, charming dining areas, delicious and creative cuisine and marvelous location make up for any worn spots or dated furniture! Special thanks to Giulia and Claudio in Reception, Luca the barman, Faust the Maitre d' and each and every member of the culinary, front of house, waitstaff and housekeeping teams. We loved every moment of our stay with you, and some of us are even plotting a return during the summer months! Thank you for everything!

We had a great room with a view of the town and mountains and ski area. The staff were all exceptionally available, extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and helpful. They were the very best, and caring staff I have ever encountered.

We stayed here with in a large group of friends, rent thing eight rooms. The location in perfect, the staff is accommodating and very helpful, and the restaurant was a pleasant surprise. The only thing, if I have to find one, the rooms are a bit small. But for the price, I def cannot complain! ;)

The Hotel Cresta et Duc was well placed within 100 meters of the pedestrian shopping and dining in the center of town. The hotel has a garage, which makes parking in crowded Courmayeur very convenient. Excellent breakfast and a superb staff -- very accommodating.

This hotel is a Gem, I hope to return one day. I stayed with a friend for a long weekend skiing. Brilliant location for Telecabine and the town for bars and restaurants. Staff are welcoming, professional, polite and helpful. Our twin room was clean and well equipped, with everything we needed. Amazing breakfasts! Bar was comfortable and cosy with good cocktails. Unfortunately, I broke my shoulder skiing. However, ALL the staff were so kind and helpful, really went above and beyond to look after me and make sure I was OK. We had an early flight going home and the kitchen staff made us a packed breakfast to take with us, much appreciated. Thank you to them all.

Great local vibe hotel with super nice staff. Fantastic location for the tram and pedestrian street. Definitely worth checking out.
