Hôtel Le Courcheneige

We stayed at Courcheneige recently and had a wonderful experience. The hotel has a great location on the gentle Bellecote slope, and perfect for ski in / ski out down to the main town of Courchevel 1850. The hotel also has an excellent pizzeria, bar area, and restaurant that you will find other non hotel residents also stopping by over the course of the day. The hotel staff were amazing during our stay. They were super nice and generally very accommodating with our requests. For example, they helped arrange on-demand shuttles while we were there, and gave us helpful advice on good bars / restaurants to visit in town, etc. Our room had a nice view and faced the slopes. It was a little on the smaller side, but that is because we elected the standard room. For the next trip, we will probably go for a more spacious room option. Overall, a very pleasant experience, and I would recommend!

Perfect ski in, ski out hotel. Extremely friendly staff especially the person helping to carry bags back and forth from the car. Overall an ideal hotel for people who come here to ski and like a nice hotel with good food :)!

Pros: • Excellent Pizza: Truly a highlight and worth mentioning. • Ski-in, Ski-out Location: Extremely convenient for avid skiers. • Well-Equipped Ski Room: Great facilities and attentive service. • Friendly Staff: A pleasant surprise, with consistently warm and welcoming interactions everyone from the reception, bar, luggage guys etc (yes even from the French staff!). - clean rooms Cons: • Poor Communication: Emails to reception and concierge often go unanswered or receive inconsistent responses, with different staff handling the same query haphazardly. • Slow Restaurant Service: Dining experiences are delayed, which can be frustrating after a long day. • above Average Food Quality: Beyond the standout pizza, most dishes are unimpressive. • Lunch Seating Not Guaranteed: Even as a hotel guest, your seat at lunch for pizza is not guaranteed, and the hotel doesn’t inform you of this in advance. • Outdated Design: The hotel feels dated, with low ceilings and an overall old-fashioned ambiance. • Tiny Elevator: The main elevator barely fits two people at a time, making it inconvenient during busy periods. • Inconvenient Access: Getting from the parking area to the reception requires walking about 150 meters and taking two separate elevators. • Limited Dining Hours: The restaurant closes between lunch and 6:45 PM, which is challenging for families with young children who eat earlier (around 5:30–6:00 PM). • No Room Service: A surprising omission for a hotel of this caliber. • No Minibar: Rooms lack minibars, a standard convenience in many hotels. • No Shuttle on Saturdays: The hotel shuttle doesn’t operate on Saturdays, forcing guests to pay €40 for a 2-minute drive to town or ski school. • Challenging for Beginner Skiers: If you have kids who are beginner skiers and need to take them to ski school, it’s a hassle. The school is not within walking distance, adding to the inconvenience. • Infrequent Shuttle Service: Operates hourly instead of being available on demand, limiting flexibility. • No Cigar Room or Outdoor Fireplace: Smokers are left to brave the freezing cold at night, despite ample space for a cozy indoor or outdoor smoking area. • No Spa or Wellness Facilities: There’s no spa, swimming pool, or wellness center, which is a major downside for a mountain resort
