The popular Hotel Mercure has been completely renovated and rebranded as the Hotel Fahrenheit 7 for winter 16/17 – and what a difference. Expect a modern, chalet-style feel with a real focus on blending design and comfort – a touch of affordable luxury in the high-end resort of Val Thorens.The Fahrenheit 7 is in the same fantastic location, with ski-in, ski-out access, just a couple of minutes’ walk from the resort centre.Each of the 107 rooms has been renovated and can be adapted to suit couples, groups and families with a mix of king beds, twin beds and extra sofa beds. Plus, you can choose your view – village or piste?The hotel is offered on a bed and breakfast basis, so you can fill up for the day with the excellent breakfast buffet – or treat yourself to dishes from the a la carte menu instead. There are also two stylish restaurants to sample for dinner – La Rotisserie restaurant, which serves mouth-watering roasted meats and fish, or Le Zinc cheese and wine restaurant, where you can indulge in a range of fondues and local specialities. To make things even simpler, you can upgrade to half board and get your evening meals included.When the lifts are closed and it’s time to reward yourself for a hard day’s work, you can sit out on the terrace and soak up the view, or head to the bar for drinks and dancing, often with live bands or DJs. If you prefer a more peaceful kind of après, take a trip to the wellness area and swap between the hot sauna or hammam and the cold ice bed, Scandinavian style, to get your body ready for another day on the slopes.
