We enjoyed staying at the hotel. Location is very good with shops , restaurants, ski schools within 6mins walking distance. There is sauna and steam room in the hotel which is really good after a long day of skiing. Breakfast is ok with reasonable options.

A very good hotel offering Half Board in the La Plagne center area. We enjoyed our stay at Araucaria during the Christmas period of 2023 all the way through the new year.
We absolutely loved the Spa area and the bar zone where one can relax in the evening and get coffee/snacks at lunch time.
The dinner was fantastic every day and the variety of meal options could get everyone happy.
The Ski Shop at the ground level offers heating storage for your equipment and boots, and ski personnel helps to get your skis up the stairs making it comfy dealing with it.
The overall condition of the hotel is really good.
Some minor things we found worth calling out that might be considered room for improvement:
- there is no AC in the room, and it was quite warm =) We had to sleep with the opened balcony door and it might be a challenge for someone with small kids as slope grooming machine make noise at night
- the parking lot is super narrow :D when the parking gets busy it becomes a maze to enter/exit, especially if you have a car bigger than smallish citroen
- we found New Years entertainment program to be a bit meh as well as the Christmas dinner which was not better than a regular dinner. It would be fine if the night wouldn't cost twice as high as the other nights.
Anyways, even with this small nuances we would consider staying at Araucaria again in the future.

Amazing hotel and staff
Posted 6 Mar 2020 on HotelsGreat hotel stayed for 4 nights and staff were really friendly great location right by the piste and all facilities were amazing and definitely redefined what a great ski hotel should be. Only slight downside were the bedrooms were a bit small but only a really minor point given we were there for the skiing. Highly recommend.

A great ski hotel.
Posted 8 Feb 2020 on HotelsOur group of 11 skiers arrived to find very helpful friendly staff at reception.
The rooms were large enough and clean.
Breakfast was varied and plentiful, best booked in advance, it was rather expensive if paid for during the stay.
The bar was really pleasant, great atmosphere.
The boot room staff were great too, and would come to help carry kit up and down the stairs.
The spa area was large, with a sauna, steam room and ice area in addition to the pool.
This hotel deserves top marks.

Very good service. Clean. Well located.
Bar and lounge quite well done Buffet a bit overpriced. Should be about 25 Euros, as much was cold, and not tasty.
Breakfast, again, not worth the price. Should offer two selections from buffet for 15 euros.
Overall, I would stay again—next year!!

We had a lovely time at the hotel araucaria- the staff were always extremely friendly and helpful. Everywhere was really clean. The hotel was stylish and so convenient for everything. A great spot. Delicious breakfast too. Room was a bit small as was the swimming pool - but overall it was great and we would definitely come again. Thank you to all the staff
