Hot hotels in Courchevel for Winter

A hotel in Courchevel is more than likely going to be a luxury hotel. In a country where 5-star is a rarity, Courchevel has more than a dozen establishments that hold this classification. Furthermore, there are now three hotels in Courchevel that hold ‘Palace’ status - Le Cheval Blanc, Le K2 Palace and Les Airelles - which distinguishes them from the rest of the 5-star pack. Of the many luxury hotels on offer in Courchevel itself, the Sivoliere Hotel situated in the forest on the western edge of the village is one which offers luxury without being too exclusive. Likewise, the ski-in / ski-out Manali Hotel in Courchevel Moriond is smart and welcoming and has a spa and pool that is open to the public.The most recent addition the new Les Neiges Hotel, a lush hotel with two fine restaurants lead by Michelin-starred chefs.

You don't have to give up your dreams of a lavish holiday if you're travelling with your family. 4-star Les Sherpas Hotel in Courchevel is a great family hotel and boasts lots of family-specific features such as a games room, indoor swimming pool with spa, ‘in-house’ ski and sledge hire, and even free accommodation for children under 5 sharing a room with their parents. Boutique hotel Les Cimes Blanches is also a great choice when you're travelling with children. Located right next to the ski lifts and ski schools, it's the perfect base for a hassle-free skiing trip, and their interconnecting rooms and family suites make it more than suitable for large groups. They're even happy to organise babysitting and childcare for guests.

In Courchevel Village, 3-star Les Flocons hotel is situated near the Tovets chairlift and close to the pistes. You can ski right to its door and enjoy its relaxing sauna, tropical shower and steam room after a long day on the slopes. Also right on the pistes is Hotel de la Loze, a centrally located chalet-style B&B from which you can sample Courchevel's shops and infamous nightlife. Just metres away from the same Loze piste, you can find the Coq de Bruyere Chalet Hotel, a chic Alpine refuge offering half-board accommodation.

Definitely not what it's known for but Courchevel does actually have some affordable accommodation. There is actually a 2-star hotel in Courchevel itself that definitely merits a mention.
