What is a chalet accommodation?
Chalets are big, self-contained lodges, typically equipped with amenities such as restrooms, a kitchen, as well as various bedrooms for overnight stays. They’re also more spacious than hotel rooms as you get access to the entire property during your stay, making them great for hosting medium to large get-togethers.

What’s the difference between a hotel & a chalet?
Chalets are better for larger groups and offer more privacy as most are situated away from the city centre. On the other hand, hotels can typically offer a wider range of services such as spas, restaurants and bars, or breakfast buffets.
That said, some chalets are located within clubhouse complexes with amenities just a short walk away from your accommodations, so you’ll have a way of keeping your group entertained.
