Sneak peek: Rosewood Courchevel

Situated within the Jardin Alpin enclave of Courchevel 1850, one of the world’s most iconic ski destinations, Rosewood Courchevel Le Jardin Alpin reimagines the glamour of Courchevel’s 1960s golden age while embracing the vibrant spirit that has long defined the French Alps. Here, exclusive ski concierge services are complemented by inviting accommodations – including three signature houses epitomising alpine luxury – creating a destination for discovery and adventure.

“We’re delighted to introduce Rosewood Courchevel Le Jardin Alpin as an idyllic alpine retreat that celebrates the spirit of the French Alps and offers guests unparalleled access to the slopes,” commented Radha Arora, President, Rosewood Hotel Factory.

Bringing his signature tactile style to the chalet’s charming accommodations, designer Tristan Auer seamlessly combines natural materials such as timber and stone with eye-catching copper accents and mirrored surfaces, lending a playful lightness to spaces that feel both intimate and spectacular. Guests are welcomed through sculptural, intricately carved doors into a private world of warmth and refinement, where fireplaces and sunlit terraces frame panoramic views of the French Alps.

“We approached the project as though we were creating a private mansion chalet rather than a traditional hotel. The idea was to capture the glamour of the mountains while transporting guests into another world – a place where every space invites them to experience and discover something beyond the expected.” added Tristan Auer, Founder, Tristan Auer Studio.

The resort features 51 rooms and suites, including three signature houses. Each accommodation connects guests to the snowy expanse of Les Trois Vallées, the world’s largest ski area, through panoramic seated terraces showcasing magnificent mountain views. The three signature houses each welcome up to eight guests with the option for interconnecting rooms to provide expansive living areas – perfect for families and larger groups – and welcoming guests to a private sanctuary after a day on Courchevel’s slopes.

Jardin Alpin Apartment is the largest of Rosewood Courchevel’s three houses, a grand four-bedroom alpine residence designed for unforgettable moments spent together in the mountains. With high ceilings, a private elevator entrance, curated art collection, and expansive terraces framing panoramic views of La Saulire’s peak, the residence immerses guests in the heart of the prestigious resort. The vast residence also features a cinema room and professional kitchen, as well as impressive indoor and outdoor dining areas ideal for gatherings after a day on the piste.

“With Rosewood Courchevel Le Jardin Alpin, we wanted to create a destination that celebrates the joy of alpine life – a place to gather, explore, and create lasting memories in one of the world’s most beautiful settings.” said Francois Arrighi, Managing Director, Rosewood Courcheval Le Jardin Alpin.

At the heart of the property lies a Mediterranean dining concept that blends the culinary flair of the French and Italian Alps. Overlooking the breathtaking mountain slopes, the restaurant serves as a lively hub of connection where families and friends come together to experience community through memorable flavours from grilled meats to generous slow-cooked delights from the region.

As evening falls, the restaurant embodies Rosewood’s signature approach to hospitality in the ritual of après-ski. The space transforms into an intimate and sophisticated setting, offering guests an expertly crafted wine selection and cocktails that pay eclectic homage to classic mixology, complemented by music and a refined à la carte menu.

Wellness takes on a transformative dimension at Asaya, Rosewood’s renowned integrative wellness concept, debuting here as an alpine sanctuary devoted to deep relaxation and rejuvenation. In partnership with Maison EviDenS de Beauté and Sodashi, guests are invited to embark on a holistic wellness journey tailored for time on and off the slopes.  Bespoke treatments include reiki and restorative sound baths, while Asaya Move experiences invite guests to engage with the alpine surroundings through core-strengthening Mountain Pilates with breathtaking views, or Silent Movement sessions that combine stretching, breathwork, and mindful serenity in nature.

This debut expands Rosewood’s presence in mainland France, joining Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel in Paris, while deepening its guiding philosophy of a sense of place and legacy of curating culturally rich destinations. Upon its opening, the resort will present Courchevel with a new landmark where alpine tradition meets contemporary sophistication, introducing a luxurious new chapter for discerning travellers worldwide.
