Altitude Suite, Grand Hôtel Courchevel 1850, Courchevel, Grand Hôtel Courchevel 1850, Courchevel

A suite sized for altitude, not just for sleeping

The Altitude Suite opens at 47 m², a figure that matters in Courchevel 1850, where most rooms trade space for proximity to the slopes. Here you get both. Two bedrooms and a sofa bed bring the capacity to six, making this one of the rare configurations in the hotel built for families or small groups who refuse to compromise on either altitude or square meterage. The soundproofing holds the volume quiet, even with children in the second room.

The space and flow

The layout separates sleeping from living with intent. Two bedrooms sit apart from a seating area anchored by a sofa, giving parents and children, or two couples, their own zones without shared walls to the main living space. The sofa bed in the seating area absorbs extra guests without forcing anyone into the bedrooms. Carpeted floors run through the suite, a quiet counterpoint to the cold outside, and the fireplace gives the living area a second source of warmth beyond the heating system.

Design and finishes

The bathroom holds both a bath and a separate shower, a distinction that matters after a full day on skis: one for soaking, one for rinsing off quickly before dinner. Free toiletries, shampoo, conditioner, body soap and a shower cap are set out, alongside bathrobes and slippers for the walk between bathroom and bedroom. Bedding runs to both feather and non-feather pillow options, a detail that speaks to a suite designed around guest comfort rather than a single standard. A wardrobe handles the ski-to-dinner wardrobe shift this address demands.

The view and outdoors

A private balcony opens the suite to the mountain view, the Alps positioned as the backdrop rather than a feature to chase elsewhere in the hotel. Windows bring that same view into the seating area, so the mountain is visible from the sofa as much as from outside. Air purifiers and single-room air conditioning keep the interior climate independent of the altitude beyond the glass.

Who is this for?

You are traveling with two children and need a second bedroom that lets bedtime happen on its own schedule, away from the fireplace and the adults still finishing a conversation in the seating area. You are two couples sharing a week in Courchevel and want separate bedrooms without separate hotel rooms. You ski at first light and return each afternoon wanting a bath, not a shower, waiting for you.

La Suite's verdict

The Altitude Suite is the hotel's clearest case for suite living over standard rooms: two real bedrooms, a dedicated living area, and a balcony view that does not require a premium category above it. The bath and shower split in the bathroom is a small but deliberate touch, built for the specific rhythm of a ski day. For six guests who want to occupy 47 m² without negotiating over space, this is the configuration that solves it.
