We can almost hear the sound of ski bindings. The Rosewood group is opening its second French establishment after Le Crillon, and its first in the Alps. The location couldn’t be more exclusive: the highly sought-after Jardin Alpin in Courchevel 1850. This luxurious chalet offers a ski-in/ski-out experience and 51 sleeping accommodations comprising rooms, suites and apartments. The jewel at the heart of these premises is the 550 m² Jardin Alpin Apartment designed by Studio KO, featuring a panoramic terrace, a central fireplace and even a cinema. The sapce can even be extended to 1,000 m² by connecting it to other apartments. The interior design, the work of Tristan Auer, revisits Alpine luxury with a contemporary and warm approach. The cosy, modern atmosphere is punctuated by works of art, including a major piece by Olafur Eliasson in the lobby. For the epicureans, Le Salto, run by chef Gioia Baek, bridges the gap between France and Italy while celebrating Savoyard specialities. Casual at lunchtime and more refined at dinner, the restaurant has a modern layout combining a bar and restaurant, with a terrace and an opening designed to welcome skiers from outside. The establishment offers a wide range of services: a 1,000 m² Asaya® spa focused on well-being (25-metre swimming pool, sauna, hammam, five treatment rooms offering Maison EviDenS de Beauté and Sodashi rituals), including a dedicated family area, a 200 m² ski shop with ski butler service, and a kids’ club geared towards teenagers. The only question is: when will I see you again, wonderful hotel?
