Cheval Blanc Courchevel: Thirty-six keys in Le Jardin Alpin, with Le 1947 dark Monday and Tuesday.

Cheval Blanc Courchevel sits in Le Jardin Alpin at Courchevel 1850 — the first Cheval Blanc maison. LVMH dates the opening to 2006. The official careers page and LVMH both give 36 rooms and suites. Interiors and the living gallery are credited to Sybille de Margerie, with works by Jean-Michel Othoniel and Bruno Peinado. The rooms page calls the house a Palace. The official rooms index lists eight categories, not a generic 36-key blur: Superior Rooms at 40–42 square metres, Deluxe Superior at 45–48 facing La Saulire, Junior Suites at 50, Deluxe Junior Suites at 65, Duplex Suites at 75 over two floors, Deluxe Duplex Suites at 105 over two floors with a sauna, The Chalet at 315 for six with a lift, and The Apartment at 650 for eight with its own lift and ski room.

Lock Le 1947 on day one. The restaurant page is dinner only, Wednesday to Sunday, 19:30 to 21:00, for a limited number of diners; reservations are highly recommended. Monday and Tuesday are not on that calendar. Breakfast is the all-day room: Le Grill Alpin, 07:30–10:30, then lunch 12:00–15:00 and dinner 19:00–22:30. Book Guerlain with the room — spa hours are 10:00–20:00 every day. If anyone cannot manage two floors, do not take a Duplex or Deluxe Duplex; those cards are two-storey and do not mention a lift. The Chalet is four floors with lift access. The Apartment has a private lift to a slope-side ski room.

This is an alpine maison. The Le 1947 page posted an opening line of 5 December 2025 for that restaurant’s season. Confirm the current winter dates with the house before you fly; the contact page does not print a year-round calendar. Le Bar is daily 09:00–01:00, with goûter 15:30–17:30 and a live band from 19:00. La Terrasse is the slope brasero for alfresco lunches when the sun is up — the venue page does not print clock hours. La Table de Partage takes 12 to 22 guests on request; advance notice is recommended. Carte Blanche is 24/7 in-room. The Cigar Yurt has no published hours.

What comes with the stay is Artisan service, the indoor pool and winter baths 10:00–20:00, sauna and hammam in those hours, the fitness room 24/7, and Le Carrousel for children 11:00–20:00. A Guerlain hour, dinner at Le 1947, a Grill dinner, La Terrasse, the Cigar Yurt, and Carte Blanche are extra. Breakfast is at Le Grill Alpin; confirm whether your rate includes it. The house is not all-inclusive. Contact says the hotel, spa, and restaurants are accessible to people with reduced mobility, and several room cards repeat that subject to availability.

Book this if you want a Jardin Alpin door, a three-star Alléno night you can actually reserve, and a Guerlain floor after the last run. Skip it if you need Le 1947 on a Monday or Tuesday, a one-level duplex, or a summer hotel you can book without checking the winter calendar. Tripadvisor scores it 4.7 from 77 reviews. Trip.com scores it 9.2 from only 4 — treat that second number as a thin sample.
