Palaces, Michelin-starred hotels and brand new openings. Here’s where to stay in Courchevel this winter.
Looking for the best hotels in Courchevel?
Well, you’re in the right resort. Courchevel holds five of France’s official Palace hotels, more than anywhere outside Paris. Add a string of five-stars and a few new openings, and you’re spoilt for choice.
So let’s go village by village and find your base.
The Palace Hotels in Courchevel 1850
Palace is a French distinction above five stars, awarded by Atout France. The current list runs until 2029, and five of the seven Alpine Palaces are in Courchevel.
Cheval Blanc Courchevel
LVMH’s Cheval Blanc sits in the Jardin Alpin with ski-in, ski-out access. It’s home to Le 1947, the only three-star Michelin restaurant in Courchevel. See our Michelin star guide for the rest.
Airelles Courchevel, Les Airelles
Airelles is the other grand name of the Jardin Alpin, and one of the original Courchevel Palaces. Book well ahead for Christmas and February.
L’Apogée Courchevel
L’Apogée is built on top of a former Olympic ski jump, so the views run all the way down the valley. It’s part of Oetker Hotels, alongside Le Bristol in Paris.
Families love it. The hotel has a private 40-metre magic carpet from the ski room to the slope and claims the biggest kids’ club in Courchevel.
Le K2 Palace
Le K2 Palace is the sister hotel of Le K2 Altitude, further down this guide. This winter it has redesigned 29 of its rooms and suites.
Fouquet’s Courchevel
Fouquet’s brings a slice of the Champs-Élysées to the mountains. New for this winter, it has opened a kids’ club.
Five-Star Hotels with Michelin Stars
If you’re choosing a hotel for the food, these are the ones to look at. Each has a Michelin-starred restaurant under the same roof.
Le Strato
Le Strato is home to Slalom 1850, which holds two Michelin stars under chef Thomas Prod’homme.
Les Grandes Alpes
Les Grandes Alpes sits right by the 1850 snow front. Its restaurant, Sylvestre Wahid, holds two Michelin stars.
Le K2 Altitude
Le K2 Altitude celebrates a first Michelin star this winter for its restaurant, L’Altitude.
Hôtel Annapurna
The Annapurna is home to Alpage, a one-star restaurant led by chef Jean-Rémi Caillon. Six of its suites have been refurbished for this winter.
Le Chabichou
Le Chabichou is a Courchevel institution with a one-star restaurant by Stéphane Buron. It reopens in December 2026 after a renovation.

Hotels in Courchevel Moriond 1650
Moriond is sunnier, more relaxed and great for families. It’s also where the newest residences have landed.
Le Portetta
Le Portetta sits right on the Moriond snow front. Its Fire & Ice bar is one of our favourite spots for après in 1650.
Steamboat and Sundance

Hotel or Chalet?
A hotel is perfect for a couple or a short stay. You get the spa, the restaurants and the ski room without lifting a finger.
If you’re travelling as a family or a group of friends, a private chalet often makes more sense. You get your own space, your own chef and a team who run the week around you.

I hope this guide helps you find your hotel in Courchevel.
For the full Palace experience, look at the Jardin Alpin in 1850. For food, book a hotel with its own Michelin star. And for a sunnier, family feel, head down to Moriond.
