Each features en-suite rooms and splendid communal living/dining areas, complete with open fires and balconies.

The décor throughout the hotel is a sublime mix of traditional and contemporary design and the public spaces are really splendid, with beech and ash everywhere contrasting with exposed stonework to create an atmosphere of refined elegance.

The hotel features every conceivable facility you would expect of a hotel of its class, including gorgeous pool with outdoor hot-tub, and very smart “Wellness” centre with sauna, Jacuzzi and steam room plus all manner of treatments and pampering; fully equipped gym; hairdresser and beauty salon; 24-hour concierge and room service; in-house ski shop with all the latest equipment; the superb “Stanleys” bar with large lounge to relax in after a day on the slopes, and an on-demand shuttle service to the centre of Courchevel,

The hotel is run with military efficiency and the friendly and amazingly efficient staff are all graduates of the “nothing too much trouble” school. All in all, utterly deserving of its 5* classification and certainly one of the finest hotels in Courchevel. A gem.
