First look

Raffles is moving into the Alps for the first time with a 50-room resort in Courchevel 1850, set in the Jardin Alpin precinct of Les Trois Vallees. A May 2026 Accor announcement revised the timing to the 2028 winter season, so this is a longer wait than the brand’s Red Sea and NEOM projects.

It is listed on the official Opening Soon page, which gives it more standing than a pure announcement. The build is small at 50 keys, which fits the chalet end of Courchevel rather than a big-box ski hotel. What we will be watching for is whether Raffles can hold its grand-hotel identity at that scale in a market already crowded with serious alpine luxury, and whether the 2028 date holds after one revision.
