Cheval Blanc Courchevel

The mustard exterior suggests traditional Savoyard décor, but instead delivers contemporary alpine luxury.

Cheval Blanc Courchevel's facade might suggest a scene of reindeer rugs and carved bannisters with cowbells, but the reality is far more sophisticated. The interior design successfully marries alpine elements with contemporary luxury in a way that feels fresh rather than clichéd. This approach sets it apart from more traditional mountain hotels that lean heavily into rustic themes.

Le 1947 at Cheval Blanc is the fanciest of all restaurants in Courchevel, the only one boasting three Michelin stars.

When planning the perfect Courchevel dining experience, Le 1947 stands alone as the resort's most prestigious restaurant. Being the only three-Michelin-starred establishment in town gives it an unmatched position for special occasion dining. The restaurant represents the pinnacle of mountain dining in one of Europe's most exclusive ski destinations.

Food was great and atmosphere lovely, but expensive and probably not the best value for money — some staff weren't the most friendly.

The hotel itself was great and we loved the bar area. The food quality was genuinely good and the overall atmosphere was lovely. However, the pricing felt excessive even for Courchevel standards. Some of the staff interactions weren't as warm as you'd expect at this level, which detracted from the experience.

I always stay at Les Airelles — it's hands down the best hotel in Courchevel, with Cheval Blanc as runner-up but the service isn't at the same level.

We go to Courchevel multiple times every year and I've done extensive comparisons. Les Airelles takes the crown for overall experience, but Cheval Blanc comes close. The main difference is in service execution — CB just doesn't quite match Airelles' intuitive touch. That said, Le 1947 at Cheval Blanc is the only three-star in Courchevel and absolutely deserves the recognition. For pure dining, it's unmatched in the resort.

Le Cap Horn is good for drinks but don't bother eating there — nice view and easy to reach from the villages.

We hit most of the major spots during our Courchevel stay. Cap Horn works well for a quick drink with the view, and it's convenient if you're staying in 1850. The location makes it accessible, unlike some of the mountain restaurants that require more planning. Food quality varies significantly around the resort, so it's worth being selective about where you actually dine versus just grab drinks.

Beautiful elegant hotel with professional, polite staff — the Guerlain Spa is amazing with massages facing the ski slope.

We had afternoon tea at the lobby lounge which was cozy, and their hot chocolate was divine. The Guerlain Spa in the hotel is absolutely spectacular — you can book a massage facing the ski slope which creates an incredible experience. The staff throughout maintains professional standards while remaining genuinely polite and welcoming.

This is my second time staying here and I'm definitely coming back — the breakfast is amazing and the outdoor lunch with ski slope views is marvelous.

I love the comprehensive ski room with everything you need. The staff from reception to concierge to doormen are all very friendly and welcoming with genuine smiles. The room was spacious with amazing ski slope views. What really impressed me was the outdoor lunch experience overlooking the slopes — it creates such a perfect alpine atmosphere.

I ordered a filet for 95€ with nothing — the food is nothing special and prices are double what you'd pay at Loulou.

The staff from chauffeur to waiters was super kind, but the food quality doesn't justify the pricing. A 95€ filet came with nothing, while Loulou charges 50€ for a truffle-flavored dish. The side for 20€ was basically McDonald's-level french fries. The service was excellent, but the value proposition is completely off.

We didn't stay but dined at La Grill Alpine — absolutely exquisite food with second-to-none service, especially from Marius.

The food was absolutely exquisite, the decor beautiful, and the service exceptional. Everyone who works at the hotel excelled at providing an unforgettable experience. Yes, it's expensive, but it doesn't feel expensive given how well you're treated throughout the entire experience.

We go every year and it's literally our favorite hotel in the world — everything is perfect.

The slope-side location with excellent ski concierge makes this unbeatable for serious skiers. The hotel manages to be both elegant and incredibly cozy at the same time, which is rare. Food is incredible across all restaurants and meals. The only caveat is that everything is super expensive, so this isn't for people who are price-sensitive about any aspect of their stay.

This is truly one of the best hotels in the world — they literally pop off your ski boots and put you into luxurious slippers every time.

What an amazing experience from start to finish. The service is impeccable and the atmosphere is exquisite. The ski service ritual of removing your boots and providing slippers happens consistently, which shows the level of attention to detail. This kind of thoughtful service is what separates truly great hotels from merely expensive ones.

The Cheval Blanc is the epitome of Courchevel luxury hotels — little touches from booking onwards haven't been overlooked.

We go yearly to Courchevel to ski and this consistently delivers. When we stayed with our children over Easter, they were provided little slippers, robes, and treats upon check-in. The Easter display was magnificent and the food otherworldly at the restaurant. The ski-in, ski-out access makes this a must-stay in Courchevel.

The ski room is amazing — they get everything ready, you walk straight onto the piste, and when you return they help with your boots.

We stayed over New Year's when they put on a terrific party with fireworks. The service from concierge to drivers to spa staff is impeccable. The ski room operation is the best I've experienced anywhere — completely seamless. We dined at Le 1947, their three-Michelin-star restaurant, which was unforgettable. Even our kids aged 4 and 6 were exceptionally well cared for.

Great rooms and perfectly located hotel, but the restaurant lacks charm and feels stuffy and too serious for a mountain setting.

The ski room is the best feature — right on the slopes with a great team helping with equipment. Reception and concierge are excellent. However, the restaurant is disappointing with underwhelming decoration and excessive formality that misses the relaxed mountain feel you expect. There's also horrible live music from the bar that disrupts dining. The rooms are excellent and beautifully equipped though.
