Hotel Les Grandes Alpes

Enjoying what is probably the most envied location in Courchevel 1850, Les Grandes Alpes is hands-on run by Florian Treves, scion of one of Courchevel’s founder families, and is a perfect blend of traditional and modern grand style.

Ski-in ski-out simply doesn’t get any easier, and the combination of refined elegance and superb facilities make this hotel a deservedly popular choice.

The huge sun-terrace overlooks the Croisette, the resort’s busy heart, and is just the perfect spot for a relaxing drink after a hard day on the slopes. Weather permitting it is also a great place to enjoy the offerings of the hotel’s restaurant, “Le Denali” - an interesting mix of traditional French cuisine with an Asian twist.

Facilities include a very smart piano bar with live music, a superb new “Wellness” centre with great swimming pool; sauna; Jacuzzi and Hammam steam room. Plus a massage and beauty centre offering all manner of treatments, and an in-house physio to fix those aches and strains.

For those with itchy credit cards, the pride of the resort’s retailing experiences, l’Espace Diamant with its uber-chic boutiques and galleries, is right next-door.

The bedrooms and suites are lavishly and traditionally decorated and all have private balconies with either slope or village/valley views.

In a nutshell, the best location in resort bar none, superb facilities and faultless service combine to make Les Grandes Alpes the place to stay if you are looking for pampered luxury at the very heart of the action.
