Cheval Blanc Courchevel

Crowning the top of the slopes in Courchevel 1850, ski-in, ski-out Cheval Blanc Courchevel is a modern take on an alpine chalet. Interior designer Sybille de Margerie incorporated a mix of mountain materials (warm woods, fur and leather) juxtaposed against sleek steel, bronze and polished brass; an eye-catching color palette dominated by cherry red; and a collection of original contemporary artwork by the likes of Paola Pivi, Walter Niedermayr and Xavier Veilhan — which you’ll find everywhere from the rooms to the restaurants. Candles crafted with Cheval Blanc Courchevel’s spicy signature scent of orange, cardamom, amber and patchouli are lit throughout the hotel and add a cozy element of winter warmth.Despite only having 36 rooms and suites, the maison is equipped with similar amenities and luxuries found in France’s palace hotels. Think kid and teen clubs, multiple dining concepts (including a tasting menu restaurant and slopeside terrace) and a Guerlain spa. Plus, you’ll have direct access to the world’s largest connected ski area, the Trois Vallées, and perks like preheated boots and professional ski equipment.
