Bourg St Maurice is a big ski centre, alive with hotels.

Indeed it’s a big town as you say - but we chose something a little quieter

We stayed near to Bourg ….up at a charming tiny village of Peisey Nancroix - set amongst the larger resorts of Les Arcs ski area

This was the hotel, Chalet La Tarine - good rooms and food and had a roof terrace for al fresco dining, overlooking the surrounding mountains

Good one, liked it too

I found it (maybe a recommendation from here) and stayed there with Micky and a few others

(Nowhere near the route that Wapping is recommending in post #1 though 1)

BSM is OK, there is a nice Hotel on the outskirts of the town, Hotel L'Autantic

http://www.autantic.fr/bourg-st-maurice/

Very nice, big garage for bikes if your one of those Brits who think every European citizen wants to nick your bike, pool to cool off in and only about 10 minutes walk to the nice old part of town where there is a great selection of bars and restaurants.

Or something a bit different is this:

https://hotel-belvedere.net/en/

On a Hairpin just up on the start of the Petite St Bernard, in hot weather it is a bit cooler as BSM site in a low bowl and can be really hot and a bit muggy, you can sit and watch bikes coming around the two hairpins it sits on, view from Hotel is very nice, and it is a traditional family owned (for last 100 years or so) place, food was good, hosts very nice.

Both Hotels are great and would happily to go back to either of them, personally we prefer the more rustic out of town Belvedere, but if you like being in a larger town the Autantic is very good, not many places with good parking in town (or at least not when I last looked)

Belvedere has a garage, but the @30 or so blokes I stayed with all parked their bikes out front and amazingly they were all there the next day, my buddy who arranged it has stayed there many times in large groups and not once have any of the bikes vanished in the night, but the owner has a garage if you really feel that insecure with your pride and joy not locked away - or just put a cheapo disc lock on it and all the other bikes parked there will be way easier targets ;-)

A big "plus 1" for the Hotel Belvedere just above Seez.....
We found it on Goggle maps in late 2012 and booked ourselves in for a few days in the late summer of the following year.
The location is stunning, located on a hairpin bend near the top, it is an older style hotel, but the hostess, Danielle, was excellent, she allowed us to use the tools located in the entrance hallway to adjust chains, check engine oil levels and so on with the oil she keeps for motorcyclists, etc etc and of course, she just kept the beers coming. In fact, on our last night she cooked a local speciality for us and, with her husband, sat at the table with us for most of the evening.
Suffice to say, on our first afternoon there, after a number of the very strong beers, we ventured down to their "swimming pool" located just below the main hotel, close to the road in fact, and we went for a cooling dip.
However, I will always be apologetic to the two passing Italian motorcyclists who were just passing the pool area as we proceeded to be typical english yobs on tour and "mooned them", the sound of horns blasting and engines revving lasted for several more hairpins as they went on down the pass.
Back to the hotel before I am removed from this forum site, the hotel is excellent, although on a recent visit back in I think what was late 2015 or 2016, Danielle said they would be selling up to retire and to be fair we haven't actually been back since - other directions to go and explore and then that damn Covid.....
The view is stunning from the front, the valley just lies in front of you and of course, white water rafting and paragliding are both close by for the adventurous type.

Thanks for both of those recommendations, I’ll check them out and see if anything has changed since Danielle’s possible retirement.
As I said I’m not worried about bike interference but mates are a little more precious…
And yes one of them is on here so I expect some flack!
