About this hotel

Set near the striking Écrins National Park, Hotel Castillan provides a comfortable base for mountain adventures. Guests can unwind in the inviting pool and sauna after a day on the slopes or trails, or gather in the shared lounge. The hotel's restaurant, led by a 'maître restaurateur', prides itself on serving regional cuisine crafted from local ingredients, offering a true taste of the Alps. Rooms are well-equipped, with some boasting a loggia that provides remarkable views of the Meije glacier, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee or an evening sunset. With free on-site parking and Wi-Fi, it's a convenient and welcoming choice for exploring La Grave.

Our take

I would choose Hotel Castillan for a stay in La Grave, the high-mountain village facing La Meije on the edge of the Écrins National Park. Some rooms have a south-facing loggia looking onto the Meije glacier, worth requesting. The pool and sauna help after a day outdoors, the restaurant serves regional cuisine, and parking and Wi-Fi are free. The 8.6 rating from 148 reviews is consistent. La Grave suits experienced skiers more than beginners.

  • Ask for a south-facing loggia room to enjoy the best views of the Meije glacier.
  • Make sure to try the regional cuisine at the hotel's restaurant for an authentic taste of the area.
  • Take advantage of the pool and sauna to relax and unwind after a day of skiing or hiking.

Why we love it

  • Views of the Meije glacier from some rooms
  • Relaxing pool and sauna facilities
  • Authentic regional cuisine at the restaurant
  • Close to Écrins National Park activities
Why guests love it

Hotel Castillan is the La Grave address I recommend to skiers who come for the high mountain setting near the Écrins National Park. Some rooms have a south-facing loggia overlooking the Meije glacier, the detail I would ask for when booking. After a day out, the pool, the sauna and the shared lounge help, and the restaurant serves regional cuisine. Parking and Wi-Fi are free. It scores 8.6 from 148 reviews.
