Airelles Courchevel, a snow-covered cocoon
Tectona invites readers to the enchanting surroundings of Airelles Courchevel, a jewel in the crown of the French hotel sector, bestowed five stars and the prestigious “Mountain Palace” distinction. The architectural gem, perched at an altitude of 1850 metres in the heart of Jardin Alpin and its spruce forest, looks like something out of a fairy tale set in a 19th-century Austro- Hungarian castle. Flanked by towers and turrets, the palace also features breathtaking facades adorned with frescos in pastel tones and balconies in finely crafted wood.
Winter, high season for Airelles Courchevel
The palace is open four months every year, coming to life in December amid the immaculate white landscape. At sunrise, guests vie to be the first to step on the untouched pistes. This is just one of the many activities to be enjoyed at Airelles Courchevel, along with others such as exploring the mountain’s paths in a dog sled or discovering the streets of Courchevel aboard a traditional horse-drawn carriage.
Founded in 1992 by Raymonde Fenestraz, the hotel was transformed in 2007 by the interior designer Christophe Tollemer. Both welcoming and refined, the ambiance sublimates the spirit of a “winter home” with extreme refinement present in every detail. Amid the noble materials worked by the most talented craftspeople in Europe, you will feel privileged to be staying in such an exquisite setting dedicated to beauty and excellence.
The 1800 collection in your image
Naturally, the 1800 collection by Tectona is to be found in the hotel’s balconiesand luxury spa “La Mer”. Its classic design is given a modern makeover by the colours and motifs of the fabric covering the armchair cushions and the mattresses of the sun loungers. An inspired choice that blends in with the intimate balconies and the profound sense of wellbeing permeating the spa.
