As the UK's leading ski specialist, we have developed the best and widest choice of hotels. In order to guide you through our comprehensive range, the following features are highlighted to help you choose your accommodation.
With all the various national tourist boards applying widely varying criteria to hotel ratings, the whole question of international hotel grades has become confused. We have therefore applied our own 'Crystal rating', representing the general standards of that country in order that fairer comparisons can be made.
Our classifications take into account not only the basic facilities, but also the location, leisure facilities, general character and atmosphere of the hotel. Chalet and club hotel ratings give comparisons with other chalets but do not provide like for like comparisons with the ratings of full service hotels. Official star ratings (where applicable are shown on the price panels).
Our ratings go from 5 to 2.
Crystal ratings look like this: (example here is a 5 rating)
Finest property ratings look like this: (example here is a 5 rating)

This indicates a hotel or property where Crystal is the only major UK tour operator and we have thus been able to secure particularly favourable conditions, a large number of rooms and often 'added value' items on your behalf.
Each year, Crystal customers give their own rating of all our accommodation and the top scorers in each category receive the coveted Crystal Hotel Awards, shown on the relevant hotels:
Gold award - for overall excellence recorded from customer satisfaction questionnaires.
'Finest hotels' are a hand picked selection of deluxe chalets, hotels and self-catering apartments in world class ski resorts.
