Cheval Blanc
Equine and Alpine combine in this chicest of hotels



A giant silver equine sculpture guards the entrance of the very cool, chic spa of this 36-key hotel in Courchevel. The guest rooms are spread over five levels, all with a balcony or terrace, while the 1947 restaurant – named after Château Cheval Blanc’s most prestigious and sought-after vintage wine – has two Michelin stars and five Gault Millau toques. For ultimate privacy, a newly redesigned three-bedroom chalet with authentic mountain materials and original art work can also be booked.
