Junior Suite double bay, Hotel Annapurna, Courchevel, Hotel Annapurna, Courchevel

A south facing suite built for the mountain

The Junior Suite double bay occupies 45 m², a volume calibrated for three, with one bedroom and one bathroom organized to feel both contained and open. The glass, stone and wood language that defines Hotel Annapurna's facade continues inside, where the due south orientation toward the Three Valleys sets the tone for every hour spent in the room. This is a suite for those who want the mountain's scale without sacrificing the intimacy of a well proportioned interior, a two-bay layout in the heart of Courchevel 1850.

The space and flow

At 45 m², the double bay configuration gives the suite its name: two distinct zones of light and use, allowing the seating area to function independently from the sleeping quarters. A desk and a dedicated seating area create a legitimate working or lounging zone, separate from the bedroom itself. The fold-up bed extends the suite's capacity to three guests without compromising the room's sense of order, a practical answer for families or for a long stay at altitude.

Design and finishes

The bathroom is equipped with both a bath and a shower, finished with free toiletries, bathrobe and slippers, the quiet vocabulary of a suite meant for extended stays rather than a single night. A DVD player and cable channels address the evenings when the mountain outside gives way to the comfort of the room. Linens are set with the same restraint found throughout the hotel, nothing ornamental, everything considered.

The view and outdoors

The balcony is the suite's clearest argument: a private hot tub positioned to face the Three Valleys, where the due south exposure delivers direct light across the day and a long view toward the peaks at dusk. From the seating area, the same orientation holds, glass framing stone and summit in equal measure. This is the view the hotel was built around, and in this suite it extends onto a private outdoor terrace.

Who is this for?

You are traveling with one additional guest and need the fold-up bed to accommodate a third without booking a second room. You want a private hot tub on your own balcony rather than a shared spa schedule, and you intend to use it at dusk, facing the Three Valleys. You are staying several nights in Courchevel 1850 and prefer a suite with a genuine seating area and desk, so the room functions as a base, not just a place to sleep.

La Suite's verdict

This is the entry point into Hotel Annapurna's suite collection, and it earns its place without compromise: the due south exposure and private hot tub are not downgraded versions of what the larger suites offer, they are the same architectural logic at a more contained scale. The double bay layout is the detail worth noting, it is what separates this suite from a standard room with a view. Our one observation: the balcony hot tub, positioned at this angle, catches the last direct light of the afternoon before the valley falls into shadow, a detail easy to miss when booking, impossible to miss once you are in it.
