LANA Courchevel

LANA Courchevel is the contemporary alpine palace that has joined the resort's short list — the discreet entrance, the long spa, the wood-and-glass interiors of the new building. The kitchens run the polished mountain menu and the rooms are the most contemporary of the palace generation.

Book a Suite on the south side, take dinner at the in-house room on the first evening, use the spa in the morning. The hotel is the right Courchevel answer for the company that wants the contemporary alpine idiom rather than the Tyrolean or Belle Époque palaces — and the kind of address that the long-stay guests will build into the rotation for the seasons to come.

The contemporary palace for the long alpine stay.
