Lodji Hotel & Spa

Our first visit here & we were so happy to have chosen it ! The staff were amazing, the food delicious , the spa incredible with one of the best massages I’ve had ! Ski in ski out a plus ! We had our golden retriever with us who was so looked after & loved by EVERYONE! Thank you !

Lodji is the perfect location in Saint Martin, less than 50 metres from the Gondola. Wonderful staff and a welcoming restaurant and bar.we chose to eat in the restaurant 5 nights out of our 7 night stay. One small gripe…freshly brewed coffee would be much better than the standard coffee machine. Top marks for freshly squeezed orange juice!

Just fantastic. Worth the ski over to for lunch (which is what we did from Meribel). What a great hotel and restaurant. We had the BEST meal of our entire two eeek holiday in the 3 valleys. The whole place is new, chic, and it is simply…gorgeous! The food is even better! Do yourself a favour and just…go ! We did a full lunch for 5 adults and the mains and desserts were equally as good. We also noted the outside cheaper crepe and outdoor bar looked great and seemed good value too. As did the bar next to the restaurant, where people were just having a drink or coffee after skiing in. This place is all up-market wooden lodge decor, fireplaces, candles, amazing views and ski in and out ease . We only stumbled across this place due to friends telling us to meet there. We have no affiliation to the place or the area. We nearly didn’t go, as we didn’t even know anything about the village. Highly Recommend! Don’t hesitate. Well done Lodgi!!! This is also the most extensive review I’ve ever done because…it’s deserved and I want to support quality things.

We have eaten and had drinks at The Lodji since it opened and have regularly stayed nearby. From what I have seen (I haven’t seen the bedrooms), The Lodji is a beautifully and thoughtfully designed hotel almost perfectly positioned on the slopes on St Martin de Belleville with ready access to the ski lift. On each visit we have found the staff in the bar and restaurant to be attentive and welcoming. I note one reviewer commented on the high cost of the beer. There is one reasonably priced beer – Jupiler - with the other brands being around twice the price. So, be careful what you order. We found the food to be very good and priced as one would expect in a hotel on the mountain. I note that there have been reviews mentioning the loud apres-ski music. Although the website says this stops at 6:30pm, in practice this is not always the case. Last week it went to 8:30pm on two occasions and was extremely loud. I can’t say exactly how loud as the hotel DJ did not have a decibel meter in place. This makes it difficult to recommend The Lodji as a family hotel because pumping, bass-heavy music does travels through walls - the deeper the bass, the bigger the sound wave – and I note some reviews mention that the rooms are noisy. Last year one reviewer recommended that clients did not take a room on one side of the hotel because of the loud music. Interestingly, the hotel management responded by noting that “the DJ is sometimes playing on the slopes' side and sometimes on the valley side, so it is useless to advise next clients to choose one side instead of another.” In the colder months, The Lodji place gas and wood fires on the front and rear balconies. These can become very smoky / fumy and unpleasant with the smell pervading clothes. I believe these external fires are prohibited in France for environmental reasons, so I was surprised to see them being used.

Short walk to the hotel restaurant and lucky that we had prebooked as was pretty full As we got there before the rush unfortunately staff appeared not to get involved, once we had got there attention and menus all was good. Liked the ambience however the seats were not great, table a little to wide. Food was great and fast. Had the Angus steak but I think roast potatoes would have been better than Fries. Not cheap but then we were in a resort so no complaints here. Overall a good dinner will still go back if we come next year.

For either drink a coffee and be allowed to use the Wi-Fi to be able to do a little work or go drink a Belgian Beer for the after-ski, both the service and the place are wonderful. With kindness and a great sense of humor, the staff was 5 stars. And the landscape is just breathtaking.
