Hotel Designs has identified a new chalet about to arrive in Méribel this year, which is takes luxury chalet accommodation to new heights. Chalet Harmony is complete with seven bedrooms, an indoor swimming pool and contemporary interiors…
Due to its strict architecture regulations – all developments must be designed, from the outside, using local materials and in a uniformed alpine style – Méribel is full of hidden hospitality wonders. From a design hotel perspective, the quirky interiors inside Hotel Le Coucou Meribel, designed by Pierre Yovanovitch has topped the list since it opened in 2020. When it comes to chalets though, which for many are like mini hotels but with, perhaps, more home comforts, it’s easy to get lost when searching for ultra luxury accommodation.
Cue the arrival, therefore, of Chalet Harmony Méribel, which, from December 2023, will boast itself as the latest property to emerge in the Purple Ski portfolio, which hand-selects the finest luxury catered ski chalets across Méribel, Courchevel and Val d’Isère.
The four-storey chalet is positioned in Méribel’s central Duo du Pont area. It is said that Chalet Harmony’s French owner fell in love with Méribel’s authentic village with its excellent skiing and wanted to create a chalet that was respectful of the traditional Alpine chalet style, whilst offering all the modern comforts and features one might need – from state-of-the-art technology to the impressive wine cellar.

Comprising of an elegant master suite with its own floor and six further ensuite bedrooms including one with an additional children’s bunk area, the chalet is the ideal choice for families and groups of friends alike. Its entire first floor is devoted to post-ski relaxation and entertainment, boasting an impressive cinema room with tiered seating, perfect for the whole family to escape to after a tiring day on the slopes. Next door is the tranquil wellness area, where guests can warm up in the hot tub, ease sore limbs in the sauna or steam room, work out in the fitness room or simply relax by the large indoor swimming pool, which would not be complete with out striking vistas across Méribel village and the mountains.
Upstairs, a magnificent living area, strikingly decorated and cleverly laid out in one sociable space. At the heart of the room, where the design is in many ways centred, is an inviting log fire, close to the spectacular dining area, wine cellar, and games area with billiards table and a well-stocked minibar. The floor is flanked by sun-soaked terraces, with a large outdoor dining table.

The chalet’s contemporary alpine aesthetic combines warm, neutral tones with natural materials such as wood, stone, and wool for a modern yet characterful feel. Blending sumptuous detail with hi-tech luxuries such as TVs and Sonos sound systems throughout, no expense has been spared in this new chalet to provide discerning guests with a true home-from-home experience.
As with all chalets in the Purple Ski collection, guests of Chalet Harmony have access to a full team of staff, daily housekeeping, an in-chalet ski and boot fitting service and a private chauffeured minibus, as well as a dedicated concierge service to cater to every guest’s wish.
Interior images of Chalet Harmony are yet to be taken, so while we pack our bags early and dust off our skis as we eagerly await the arrival of ski season, renders will have to do (for now) to capture our imagination and the luxurious look and style of Méribel’s latest luxury chalet.
