Duplex Luxe, Le Strato, Courchevel, Le Strato, Courchevel

A duplex that reads as a residence, not a room

The Duplex Luxe opens at 100 square meters, a scale that immediately separates it from the standard hotel room logic. This is a suite built on verticality: two levels, one bedroom, two full bathrooms, and a layout that gives each function its own footprint. For travelers who choose suites deliberately, for the room to breathe, for guests to move without crossing paths, this is the configuration that justifies the category. At Le Strato, where only 27 keys exist across nine room types, the Duplex Luxe occupies a defined position within that hierarchy: Junior, Deluxe, Executive, and this, a space engineered for four.

The space and flow

The duplex format splits the suite into distinct registers. Downstairs, a seating area with sofa, sofa bed and desk functions as a living room independent from the sleeping quarters, suited to a family of four or a couple who want a genuine separation between day and night. The bedroom occupies its own level, paired with a dressing room and direct access to one of the two bathrooms. A second, additional bathroom means no single point of friction in the morning, a detail that matters when the suite sleeps four and the mountain starts early. Soundproofing throughout keeps each level acoustically isolated, and the entire suite is accessible by elevator, including the upper floors.

Design and finishes

Hardwood parquet runs through the suite, grounding the contemporary alpine style Le Strato is built around. Bathrooms combine a bath and a separate walk-in shower, finished with bathrobes, slippers and a full set of amenities: shampoo, conditioner, body soap, shower cap, free toiletries. A dressing room and wardrobe handle wardrobe storage for a full alpine stay, while the desk and seating area give the lower level a quiet, functional register distinct from the bedroom above. A flat-screen TV with satellite and streaming channels, a coffee machine and electric kettle, and a minibar stocked for the altitude complete the interior.

The view and outdoors

A private balcony extends the suite outward, fitted with outdoor furniture and framing a mountain view that places the slopes directly in sight rather than at a distance. From the seating area or the balcony itself, the orientation toward the mountain reinforces what Le Strato is built around: ski-in, ski-out access where the terrain begins at the property, not after a shuttle ride.

Who is this for?

You are traveling with your family of four and need a layout where the children's sleeping arrangement, a crib is available, does not compress the adults' living space into a single room. You are celebrating a stay at altitude and want two bathrooms so that getting ready for dinner at Baumanière 1850 does not become a scheduling exercise. You want a suite where the living area can function independently, for a quiet afternoon indoors after the lifts close, without the bedroom level ever feeling exposed.

La Suite's verdict

Among Le Strato's three suite categories, the Duplex Luxe stands out specifically for its vertical separation, a configuration that Junior and standard Deluxe rooms cannot replicate. The second bathroom alone makes this the more rational choice for two couples or a family rather than a single traveler. Our one observation: the walk-in shower's pressure and the parquet underfoot on the upper level give the suite a tactile, residential quality that most ski hotels, focused purely on view, tend to overlook. For the configuration alone, this is the suite to request.
