Deluxe Suite, Le Lana, Courchevel, Le Lana, Courchevel

A suite built for altitude

At 80 square metres, the Deluxe Suite at Le Lana operates on a different scale than a standard room. One bedroom, one bathroom, capacity for two: the proportions are generous without tipping into excess, designed for travelers who want a ski week or a season, not a stopover. The suite sits within a collection of just nine, a ratio that keeps the category intimate inside a property of fifty nine rooms and suites in total.

The space and flow

The layout separates a distinct seating area from the sleeping quarters, with a sofa positioned to anchor a proper living zone rather than an afterthought beside the bed. A desk allows for correspondence or quiet work away from the slopes. A dressing room gives the wardrobe its own footprint, separate from the main room, while soundproofing keeps the suite insulated from hallway and neighboring noise, an essential at a resort where the day starts early and the apres-ski runs late.

Design and finishes

The bathroom is built around both a bath and a separate shower, with a spa tub as the centerpiece for recovery after a day on the mountain. Carpeted flooring runs through the suite, underfoot comfort against the altitude's chill. Bathrobes, slippers, and a full set of toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body soap, shower cap) complete a bathroom that functions as its own ritual space rather than a formality. A flat-screen TV, DVD player, and radio furnish the living area, while heating is zoned for the suite's own comfort.

The view and outdoors

The balcony is south-facing, part of the hotel's defining orientation at 1850 metres. Light fills the suite through the day, a direct consequence of the building's address on the heights of the resort rather than the valley floor. The terrace extends the living area outward, a natural extension of the seating zone inside.

Exclusive privileges

The suite includes free access to the spa and the gym, concierge services on call, and ski-in, ski-out access directly from the property, meaning the slopes begin at the door rather than after a shuttle ride. An indoor pool and Clarins Spa treatments are part of the daily rhythm available to suite guests.

Who is this for?

You are planning a ski week for two and want a terrace to decompress on after the last run, not just a window. You want the spa tub waiting at 4pm instead of a shared hotel sauna. You are staying long enough that a dressing room and a true living area, separate from the bed, matter more than they would for a two-night stay.

La Suite's verdict

The Deluxe Suite earns its place in Le Lana's collection of nine through proportion rather than spectacle: 80 square metres is enough to live in, not just sleep in. The south-facing balcony is the suite's quiet argument, catching light that the north-facing rooms at lower elevations simply do not get. Ski-in, ski-out access from a suite this size, with a dedicated dressing room and spa tub, is a rare combination at 1850 metres. Our only observation: the carpeted floors underfoot, after a day of ski boots, are a detail you will notice before you notice anything else.
