HOTEL SUMMARY
Where fairy-tale Austro-Hungarian grandeur meets alpine sophistication, Les Airelles Courchevel emerges as France's most distinctive luxury hotel, transforming childhood chalet dreams into an enchanted reality at the foot of the world's most prestigious ski slopes. This mythical palace, inspired by 19th-century Viennese castles, stands uniquely among Courchevel luxury hotels with its pastel frescoes, stained glass windows, and intricate coffered ceilings.
Founded by visionary Madame Raymonde Fenestraz, a Courchevel native who drew inspiration from Vienna's legendary Post Hotel, Les Airelles has evolved into a Comité Colbert member property that epitomizes French luxury savoir-faire. Since opening, this 5-star hotel Courchevel has garnered acclaim for its singular approach to alpine hospitality, where 180 dedicated staff members create personalized experiences that transcend typical mountain resort expectations. The hotel's Austro-Hungarian castle concept, nestled within the Jardin Alpin's fir forest, offers an authentic alternative to conventional chalet architecture.
Les Airelles suites and accommodations comprise 37 meticulously appointed guest rooms, 14 opulent suites, and an exclusive private apartment, each furnished in refined Directoire style with antique parquet floors and spacious marble bathrooms. The ultra-luxurious accommodations blend traditional Austrian Alpine charm with contemporary comfort, featuring the hotel's signature 1800 collection furnishings on private balconies and terraces. Every room maintains the property's warm, cocoon-like atmosphere while providing modern amenities and stunning alpine vistas.
Culinary excellence defines the Les Airelles experience through Pierre Gagnaire pour Les Airelles, the hotel's intimate two Michelin-starred restaurant that delivers exceptional French gastronomy in an exclusive setting. The comprehensive dining program extends beyond fine dining to encompass various atmospheric venues, from casual mountain fare to elegant evening experiences. La Mer Spa serves as the property's wellness sanctuary, featuring an azure swimming pool, cryotherapy treatments, a mystical snow cave, bubbling waterfalls, hammam, and 40°C jacuzzi. Additional amenities include the Ski Lounge by Bernard Orcel, a private skating rink, Children's Kingdom, and luxury boutiques.
For discerning travelers seeking the best luxury hotels in Courchevel, Les Airelles offers unparalleled ski-in/ski-out access within the Domaine des Trois Vallées, combined with an atmosphere of timeless elegance that feels more Viennese palace than mountain retreat.
