The Best Luxury Hotels in Courchevel

Part hotel, part luxury chalet, Le Chalet des Peupliers offers all the facilities of a five-star hotel in Courchevel – from its gourmet restaurant to its tranquil spa complete with hammam, sauna and hot tub. All rooms are ski-to-door, and you have the option of a balcony, too, with dreamy vistas overlooking the lakes and mountains. It’s not just for winter, either – come summer, there are plenty of green spaces for hiking, canyoning, via ferrata, mountain biking and more.

While Courchevel is made up of four separate settlements, Courchevel 1850 is the place to see and be seen. Bang in the centre, Hotel de la Loze is a winter wonderland of alpine-inspired rooms and superb service; expect low-key luxury here, with a hammam and sauna on site, and a lounge that’s complete with a crackling log fire for you to thaw out after a long day on the slopes. Don’t worry if you’ve come unprepared – there’s an in-house ski shop with all the essentials, too.

Sitting at the top of the former Olympic ski jump in the Jardin Alpin area of Courchevel 1850, it’s not just the ski-in ski-out aspect that sets this hotel apart – the fine food, a sensational spa and your own personal ski butler make it stand out too. Its designers’ passion for luxury is evident throughout, with every piece of furniture tailor-made. If you’re celebrating a special occasion, splash out on one of the two exclusive five-bedroom chalets with staff, private spa and your own magic-carpet entrance.

A member of the Leading Hotels of the World, Hotel Barrière Les Neiges, at the foot of the Bellecôte run in Courchevel 1850, is famed for being ultra-luxurious. Spacious chalet-style rooms range from superior to prestige; everything is controlled by iPads, while faux-fur throws and cushions add to the cosy alpine vibe. High-end restaurants, an in-house screening room and the fashionable Spa Diane Barrière are the perfect spots to unwind after an energetic day.

This opulent ski-in ski-out hotel, in a prime location next to the Bellecôte piste in Courchevel 1850, is an imposing fortress-inspired hideout for well-heeled guests. After a long day on the slopes, retreat to piste-side balconies, private hot tubs and fireplaces boasting suites. And, if you can muster the energy, there’s also a crafty cocktail bar and fine-dining Japanese restaurant. For a real treat, opt for the full body massage at Aman Spa.
