Setting the Scene 

Opening in December 2026 in the heart of Courchevel 1850, Bourbon Hotel brings an entirely different mood to one of the French Alps’ most glamorous ski destinations. The former Hôtel des 3 Vallées is being reimagined as an intimate 31-room retreat with the atmosphere of a private London members’ club rather than a traditional Alpine chalet. Dark woods, deep velvets, patinated brass, warm lighting, and richly layered interiors by Studio Henry create a cocooning escape just steps from the slopes. Days begin with effortless ski-in/ski-out access and end beside the fireplace over cocktails and vinyl, while Italian dining by chef Simone Zanoni and a wellness space make staying in just as tempting as heading out.

Who’s Checking In? 

Style-conscious couples and sophisticated leisure travelers looking for a more intimate and distinctive take on Courchevel. Bourbon Hotel is ideal for guests who appreciate strong design, excellent food and cocktails, and effortless access to the slopes, but want their hotel to be part of the experience rather than simply a base for skiing. With only 31 rooms and suites, it particularly suits travelers drawn to smaller properties, atmospheric social spaces, and a sense of privacy in the heart of the resort.

Hotel Highlights 

  • Prime ski-in/ski-out location in Courchevel 1850’s prestigious Triangle d’Or, placing guests at the heart of the resort and moments from the slopes.
  • Just 31 rooms, including 9 suites, create an intimate boutique experience with views toward the mountains or village.
  • Studio Henry’s distinctive interiors channel a private London club through dark wood, deep velvet, patinated brass, marble, and warm amber lighting.
  • Simonetta, the hotel’s Italian restaurant conceived by acclaimed chef Simone Zanoni, brings a sophisticated Italian dining experience to the mountains.
  • A fireplace cocktail and vinyl bar is complemented by a dedicated wellness space with a swim spa, sauna, steam room, and treatment rooms, balancing social après-ski with restorative downtime.
