Raffles Hotels & Resorts today announced plans for its first-ever alpine resort, which will be located in Courchevel 1850, an iconic address in the French Alps.

In collaboration with Art de Vivre as developer and owner, Raffles Courchevel is slated to open for the 2028 winter season within the exclusive Jardin Alpin precinct.

“The introduction of Raffles Courchevel marks an extraordinary milestone for our brand, representing our first venture into the stylish world of alpine luxury and our second distinguished address in France, joining Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris,” said Omer Acar, CEO, Raffles Hotels & Resorts. “The selection of Courchevel underscores our commitment to thoughtfully expanding the Raffles brand in the most coveted resort destinations worldwide. Raffles is celebrated for its highly personalized service, inherent sense of elegance, and unmistakable spirit of glamour. Courchevel, with its natural allure and vibrant sophistication, provides the perfect match. We are thrilled to collaborate with Art de Vivre, whose vision and dedication align perfectly with our own, to craft an exceptional and completely unique resort experience in the mountains.”

Courchevel 1850 is renowned for its Michelin-starred dining, luxury homes, and exclusive boutiques. It is set within Les Trois Vallées, the world’s largest interconnected ski area.

Raffles Courchevel will offer sweeping panoramic views across the Tarentaise Valley along with close proximity to the resort’s dining, cultural, and social venues. Conceived by JMV, with interior design by Humbert & Poyet, the resort will feature 50 generously-proportioned and meticulously-designed guestrooms and suites, many with furnished private balconies.

The property will also offer:

• a collection of distinctive dining and drink spaces, including a signature bar and a tea lounge
• a variety of wellness and recovery facilities, including a spa, thermal experiences, a dedicated fitness center, and a swimming pool

“Courchevel 1850 is a destination that demands the very highest standards in design, service, and execution. In Raffles, we have found a partner whose storied heritage, cultural depth, and values are equal to this ambition. That same spirit lives in the generations of craft and time-honored traditions that define Courchevel’s place at the pinnacle of alpine hospitality. We are deeply respectful of that legacy and are honored by the opportunity to contribute to its next chapter. Our singular vision has been to create a resort that will be worthy of this extraordinary setting, one that becomes an enduring icon of Courchevel, and we are delighted to do so under the Raffles flag” said Jonathan Lau, co-founder and CEO, Art de Vivre.

Raffles Courchevel will mark the brand’s sixth hotel in Europe, joining Raffles London at The OWO, Le Royal Monceau – Raffles Paris, Raffles Europejski Warsaw, and Raffles Istanbul, with Raffles Lake Como slated to debut in 2027.
