Raffles Hotels & Resorts, a luxury hotel brand within the Accor portfolio, has announced plans for its first alpine resort in Courchevel 1850, France. Developed in collaboration with Art de Vivre as developer and owner, the property is slated to open for the 2028 winter season.
Raffles Courchevel will be situated within the Jardin Alpin precinct and will feature 50 guestrooms and suites. The property is designed by JMV with interiors by Humbert & Poyet. Amenities will include two destination restaurants with winter gardens and terraces, a signature bar, a tea lounge, a spa, thermal experiences, a fitness center and a panoramic swimming pool. A programming offering for younger guests focused on nature, sport and wellbeing is also planned.
“The introduction of Raffles Courchevel marks an extraordinary milestone for our brand, representing our first venture into the stylish world of alpine luxury and our second distinguished address in France, joining Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris,” said Omer Acar, CEO of Raffles Hotels & Resorts. “The selection of Courchevel underscores our commitment to thoughtfully expanding the Raffles brand in the most coveted resort destinations worldwide. Raffles is celebrated for its highly personalized service, inherent sense of elegance, and unmistakable spirit of glamour. Courchevel, with its natural allure and vibrant sophistication, provides the perfect match. We are thrilled to collaborate with Art de Vivre, whose vision and dedication align perfectly with our own, to craft an exceptional and completely unique resort experience in the mountains.”
“Courchevel 1850 is a destination that demands the very highest standards in design, service, and execution,” said Jonathan Lau, co-founder and CEO of Art de Vivre. “In Raffles, we have found a partner whose storied heritage, cultural depth, and values are equal to this ambition. That same spirit lives in the generations of craft and time-honored traditions that define Courchevel’s place at the pinnacle of alpine hospitality. We are deeply respectful of that legacy and are honored by the opportunity to contribute to its next chapter. Our singular vision has been to create a resort that will be worthy of this extraordinary setting, one that becomes an enduring icon of Courchevel, and we are delighted to do so under the Raffles flag.”
Raffles Courchevel will be the brand’s sixth hotel in Europe, joining Raffles London at The OWO, Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris, Raffles Europejski Warsaw and Raffles Istanbul. Raffles Lake Como is slated to open in 2027.
