Hôtel de La Loze: A Fenestraz Family Legacy in Courchevel 1850

In the heart of Courchevel 1850, Hôtel de La Loze offers a rare blend of authenticity, comfort, and immediate access to the legendary 3 Valleys ski area. More than a hotel, it is a living expression of Alpine heritage, family vision, and refined hospitality, an address where effortless elegance and alpine sophistication feel both genuine and welcoming.

Housed in a historic Alpine chalet, one of the very first hotels in Courchevel, Hôtel de La Loze has long been part of the resort’s story. In 2019, after three years of extensive renovations, the hotel reopened its doors entirely transformed. New rooms, a redesigned entrance, an elegant lounge, and reimagined corridors now reveal a refined and contemporary Alpine aesthetic, what the family proudly calls the pure “Fenestraz Alpine Style.” The renovation and interior design were led by Stéphanie Fenestraz in collaboration with architect Bernard Burlot of the Carré Concept agency in Nîmes, achieving a harmonious balance between tradition and modern comfort.

The hotel offers a variety of cozy and thoughtfully designed room categories, perfectly suited for couples, families, and groups of friends. Rooms with balconies and mountain views are particularly recommended, offering breathtaking perspectives over Courchevel and its surrounding peaks. The bathrooms are spacious and luxurious, stocked with Bvlgari toiletries, ensuring every stay feels indulgent. For families or guests seeking additional space and privacy, the private Exceptional Apartments located on the 5th and 6th floors provide an ideal setting, combining the intimacy of a private residence with the attentive service of a boutique hotel.

What truly distinguishes Hôtel de La Loze in Courchevel’s ultra-luxury landscape is its remarkable value. In a destination renowned for some of the most exclusive accommodations in the Alps, the hotel offers refreshingly well-balanced room rates, allowing guests to enjoy an exceptional location, refined design, and high-quality service without excess.

Each morning begins with a generous breakfast featuring high-quality farm products, setting the tone for a day on the slopes. Skiing is exceptionally convenient, as the hotel provides a ski room on the lower floor, accessible by elevator, and a dedicated ski butler is on hand to assist. Guests can gear up and simply walk across the street to reach the gondolas, one of the most privileged ski access points in Courchevel 1850.

After a day in the mountains, relaxation takes center stage. Guests enjoy complimentary, reservation-free access to the Spa de La Loze, followed by one of the hotel’s most cherished rituals, afternoon tea served in the lounge.

Homemade pies, pastries, and a comforting hot drink are enjoyed in a warm and intimate atmosphere, reflecting the hotel’s authentic and family-oriented spirit. In the evenings, it is equally delightful to enjoy a drink by the cozy fireplace in the lounge, where the warmth and ambiance create the perfect Alpine retreat.

The boutique character of Hôtel de La Loze is enhanced by truly excellent service, attentive, personal, and discreet. Its central location places guests within walking distance of Courchevel 1850’s most renowned restaurants and boutiques, making it one of the resort’s most sought-after addresses.

Behind Hôtel de La Loze stands the inspiring story of the Fenestraz family, whose legacy is deeply intertwined with the development of Courchevel itself. The story begins with Raymonde Fenestraz, a visionary countryside girl whose intuition and determination played a pivotal role in the rise of winter sports in the Tarentaise Valley. After gaining experience abroad , she returned to Courchevel, where she refined her business expertise in real estate.

In 1966, she acquired her own agency, laying the foundations of a family enterprise that would help shape the resort. Together with her husband André, Raymonde became a pioneer in the construction of luxury chalets and residences that defined the architectural identity of Courchevel 1850. Their work contributed to the elegance and international reputation the resort enjoys today, values that continue to guide Hôtel de La Loze.

In 2016, exactly fifty years after Raymonde’s first real estate acquisition, all of these ventures were united under one name, Maison Fenestraz. Whether in the Alps or in South America, each Maison shares the same values of authenticity, discreet luxury, and refinement. Born from a dream passed down through generations, the family lives by a simple belief: “The best thing one person can do for another is to share their dream.”

At Hôtel de La Loze, that dream translates into a stay that is elegant yet unpretentious, luxurious yet accessible, offering discerning travelers a rare opportunity to experience the very essence of Courchevel in an atmosphere of warmth, heritage, and exceptional value.
