Inspired by Courchevel\u2019s glamorous heyday in the 1960s, when the jet set swarmed the ski resort\u2019s sun-drenched slopes, interior designer Tristan Auer (behind some of France\u2019s most revered revamps, like H\u00f4tel de Crillon, a Rosewood Hotel<\/a>) wanted the property to feel more like an intimate chalet than a traditional hotel. \u201cWe have reimagined the Alpine estate to create a dynamic and unexpected hub of conviviality,\u201d explains Soo Jeong Lee, Rosewood Hotel Group\u2019s vice president of design. \u201cThe interiors are full of contrasts accented with bold, contemporary pieces set against curious and vintage finds that nod to ski culture and mountain life.\u201d<\/p>\n Rosewood Courchevel Le Jardin Alpin<\/p>\n Natural materials such as wood, copper, and Vals quartzite from the Swiss Alps abound. Sculptural, stone-and-copper fireplaces act as centerpieces in the lounge, where a horseshoe-shaped bar is punctuated by carved grooves. In the soaring lobby, which extends two floors to the reception and restaurant, Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson\u2019s duo of geometric, crystalline figures bounce glacier-blue light off the surrounding mirrors.<\/p>\n A month after the hotel\u2019s much-anticipated debut, the buzz around its opening was still fresh\u2014I overheard a number of Moncler-clad guests sipping martinis in the Salto Lounge, asking if they could book a stay. (With only 51 guest rooms, the hotel was full at the time, but they were encouraged to stay for dinner.)<\/p>\n The next day, when I returned from my ski lesson, the hotel\u2019s ski butler handled the heavy lifting, getting my skis and poles ready for the following day. Meanwhile, I indulged in Nutella-drizzled cr\u00eapes prepared fresh outside the ski shop, washing them down with mulled wine.<\/p>\n After an indulgent late lunch that included a Beaufort cheese tart at local favorite La Cave des Creux<\/a>, I curled up under a blanket on my private patio, watching skiers whisk by.<\/p>\n Below, my full review of Rosewood Courchevel Le Jardin Alpin<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Rooms<\/p>\n Each of the 51 guest rooms and suites features a panoramic terrace or balcony framing views of skiers descending down Jardin Alpin. My 270-square-foot Deluxe Room was cozy without being cramped, not an easy feat considering its size. Slate-hued stone touches and pale wood paneling lend a contemporary counterpoint to the classic Alpine aesthetic. A cleverly disguised mirror TV and built-in sound system provided modern conveniences.<\/p>\n For families traveling with children, the spacious Premier Junior Suite features a sofa bed, tub, and multiple balconies or an oversized terrace, but the hotel also offers three houses that sleep up to eight. The standalone four-bedroom Jardin Alpin Apartment, designed by Paris-based Studio KO, is the largest and features its own private elevator entrance, a cinema room, a professional kitchen, and a curated art collection.<\/p>\n Food and Drink<\/p>\n Salto gives all-day dining an elevated twist, starting with the lavish breakfast buffet. Here, options include a caviar stand and \u00e0 la carte dishes like lobster eggs Benedict and scrambled eggs with black truffle and Beaufort cheese, a Savoie specialty. The dining space spills into the lounge, where stylish skiers in designer suits and fur hats gather for a light lunch by the modern fireplaces as a DJ spins into the afternoon. The scene slowly morphs into apr\u00e8s-ski cocktails and snacks like the paper-thin black truffle pizza.<\/p>\n The L-shaped panoramic terrace wasn\u2019t open for lunch when I visited in January, but the wooden outdoor chalet now serves Savoyard favorites like fondue and raclette, with chefs searing beef and prawns over live fire on an Argentine-style brasero oven. In the evening, Salto embraces the flavors of Northern Italy\u2019s Alps with dishes like braised beef agnolotti, salt-crusted seabass, and savory Pithivier braised beef pie with rich P\u00e9rigueux sauce.<\/p>\n The Spa<\/p>\n Spa culture is as much part of the apr\u00e8s-ski scene in Courchevel as the Champagne-fueled dancing at slopeside Bagatelle<\/a>. Rosewood’s signature wellness concept, Asaya, is as photogenic as it is rejuvenating. Anchored by a 56-foot indoor heated pool, the spa is framed in soft lighting with mirrors and custom ceramic interiors etched with mountain motifs. Partnering with Evidens de Beaut\u00e9 and Sodashi, services range from reparative facials with a Japanese kobido-style lifting massage to post-ski treatments that incorporate cryotherapy, compression boots, and aromatic oils. If you\u2019re looking for privacy, one treatment suite is equipped with its own hot tub.<\/p>\n After I took some time to enjoy the sauna, steam room, and cold plunge, I opted for a Deep Alpine Massage. It was the perfect treatment to work out the kinks in my shoulders from a busy few weeks of travel while also relieving the pain in my aching calves after tackling tougher runs in Courchevel and nearby M\u00e9ribel.<\/p>\n While there isn\u2019t an on-site salon, the team at Asaya can arrange in-room hair styling, nail, or makeup services upon request.<\/p>\n Accessibility<\/p>\n Rosewood Courchevel Le Jardin Alpin features elevators and is fully accessible, with three dedicated guest rooms for guests with reduced mobility. The spa provides a wheelchair for pool access.<\/p>\n How to Book<\/p>\n Rosewood Courchevel Le Jardin Alpin is not part of any points-based loyalty program.<\/p>\n Nightly rates at Rosewood Courchevel Le Jardin Alpin<\/a> start from $3,451 (including breakfast).<\/p>\n Every T+L hotel review is written by an editor or reporter who has stayed at the property, and each hotel selected aligns with our core values<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Skiers](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/13f75cd488a74bdf0f7e4079dc1ee776.jpeg\"\/)
