Introducing Chalet Blanchot, Courchevel 1850

Chalet Blanchot, Courchevel 1850 (sleeps 12)

During a recent familiarisation trip to Courchevel 1850, we took a look around the spectacular Chalet Blanchot. This new chalet can be found in an exclusive enclave of the Bellecote area of the resort. Its pool and spa are worthy of a boutique hotel. Each bedroom is finished to the highest standard whilst retaining its own individual style. The living and dining area at the top of the chalet has a penthouse feel with its panoramic views, state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment and smart balcony.

New Five Star Hotel in Courchevel 1850

The Hotel le Strato is this year’s addition to Courchevel 1850′s impressive catalogue of five star hotels. Only 41 hotels have been awarded this prestigious status throughout France so to have  a constellation of seven based in one village goes some way to proving why there is so much hysteria about Courchevel 1850.

With such stellar neighbours as Le Cheval Blanc, Les Airelles, Le Kilimandjaro, Le Lana and Le Mélezin, Hotel le Strato has its work cut out to outshine the competition. We were lucky enough to have a sneak preview of the hotel on our recent familiarisation trip to the Alps and the hotel looks set to rival the best. The traditional chalet exterior of the hotel gives little away as to the cutting-edge facilities and contemporary décor that is hidden within. Once inside you could easily mistake your whereabouts for a sophisticated, Parisian night-club minus the music. You would expect no less of the young, design duo, Pierre Dubois and Aimé Cécil. Their juxtaposition of modern and classic art references make for an innovative take on Alpine comfort.

The Hotel le Strato is made up of only 25 rooms and suites but has exceptional facilities, including  an in-door pool, spa, hammam, sauna, jacuzzi, gastronomic restaurant, lounge bar and ski-in, ski-out sun terrace. Jean-André Charial de l’Oustau de Baumanière, who currently enjoys two Michelin stars has lent his signature Provençal flair to the hotel’s kitchen.

Next time you ski the Cospillot piste back to Courchevel 1850 make sure you catch a glimpse of Hotel le Strato. If you cannot wait until then, phone us on +44 (0) 1865 398130 for more details.
