Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges, luxury ski-in/ski-out

At the foot of the famous Bellecôte slope, in the heart of Courchevel 1850, stands the renowned Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges, a five-star establishment distinguished as a Palace in 2019. The venue has made a specialty of relaxed, sophisticated luxury while perpetuating the warm authenticity of mountain chalets. Blond wood and white marble, silky fabrics and a fireplace, contemporary furniture, large stylized rugs, and plush armchairs covered in faux animal skins... You feel right at home in this hotel, which offers direct access to the slopes via a 240m² ski room where equipment is carefully prepared daily for skiers.

This hotel is also the ideal place to organize a Mountain seminar.

Cheval Blanc, a haute couture palace

Since its opening in 2006, the’mountain hotel Dreamed up by Bernard Arnault, it challenges the resort's hoteliers. With its unique ambiance, a blend of Savoyard tradition and contemporary artworks, its warm chic and subtle sense of hospitality, a perfect balance between refinement and discreet benevolence, the Cheval Blanc is a favorite among its loyal clientele. It gallops ahead as the top 5-star hotel in Courchevel. Sensual or sophisticated materials, carefully designed lighting, a bold color palette, and a delicate, deliciously spicy signature scent… Playing with winter codes, this palace-chalet charms with its ability to elevate everything, starting, of course, with gastronomy. The culinary art reaches its peak here, particularly at 1947, the resort's only three-Michelin-starred restaurant. A pearl-gray chrysalis decor, only a few tables, an elite brigade, and Yannick Alléno leading the charge – no wonder this place is such a success!

K2 Palace, at the peaks of Alpine luxury

While Courchevel may flirt with bling, its taste for opulence has faded in recent years. Proof of this is the exquisite sobriety and elegance of the K2 Palace, whose minimalist chalets, arranged in a hamlet on the ski slope, reveal refined interiors tinged with exotic touches. If its name pays homage to the most mythical summit in the Himalayas, its decor is inspired by Tibetan tranquility with wood and plush velvet, bright red and charcoal gray. In addition to the surprisingly spacious 26 rooms and 8 suites at this Courchevel hotel (the standard room offers a balcony with mountain views, a king-size bed, a lounge area, and a bathroom with a bathtub and an Italian shower), the K2 Palace features 4 luxury chalets that combine complete privacy with high-end hotel services. These are privileged havens of 480 to 650 m2 with a swimming pool, hammam, hot tub, ski room, and a superb sun-drenched terrace. The gastronomic offer is just as generous, with the alpine palace hosting a Peruvian-inspired restaurant, a charcoal grill restaurant, and a 2-Michelin-starred pastry restaurant: Le Sarkara. Playing with textures and combinations, chef Sébastien Vauxion offers an astonishing menu with sweet notes, unique starters, modernist dishes, and incredibly decadent desserts… Simply unheard of!

L'Apogée, an exceptional address in the Alpine Garden

Built on the site of the former Olympic ski jump, in the heart of the Jardin Alpin, the chic enclave of Courchevel's wealthy families, this 5-star hotel bears a name that matches its ambitions. And the least we can say is that the challenge set by Xavier Niel, founder of Free and owner of the property, has been brilliantly met by two interior design figures: India Mahdavi and Joseph Dirand. They have created a chic and hushed atmosphere here, a well-balanced mix of retro lines and colorful notes, urban elegance and cozy textures. Quickly distinguished as a Palace, L'Apogée celebrates the art of living in a contemporary way, while still ticking the boxes of mountain comfort with soft textiles, warm materials, and intimate spaces. Our favorite room? The 300 m2 Penthouse, which offers high-luxury amenities such as butler services, a fireplace, a sauna, and a hot tub on a terrace overlooking the Courchevel valley.

Alpes Hôtel du Pralong, Scandinavian charm at the foot of the slopes

The building housing Pralong may not have the charm of Savoyard chalets, but all the codes of alpine comfort are present in its interiors, where one can admire old beams and beautiful stones, fine fir and spruce wood, honey colors, and sensual materials. Completely renovated to rival the finest hotels in Courchevel 1850, this 5-star establishment has managed to revive the spirit of yesteryear's chalets. This success is thanks to Claudia Ravnbo, a Parisian decorator from Norway who has transformed the premises with a seductive twist of modernity and Scandinavian charm. Located right on the slopes where the colorful silhouettes of skiers wave, this hotel with spa in the Alps It offers 65 rooms and suites, all with breathtaking views of the mountains and fir forests. If you leave the cozy comfort of your room, it's only to go skiing or to join the lounge bar for tea-time, unless you give in to the spa, which has partnered with the Kos brand to offer natural treatments and protocols with the gentle scents of verbena, rose, or eucalyptus.
