In Courchevel 1850 across from The Forum, a short walk from the La Croisette snow front.
“What sets the K2 hotels apart from the norm is their personality — heavily influenced, as the name might suggest, by the crafts and culture of Tibet.”

Warm woodwork and Tibetan accents frame compact, comfortable interiors, while select rooms and duplexes open onto private mountain-facing balconies.
Wellness
A post-ski thermal recovery area features a Finnish sauna, steam hammam, sensory shower, and quiet herbal tea corner.
Backstory
Taking its name from the Tibetan word for little brother, this Courchevel retreat serves as the boutique sibling to Le K2 Palace.
Eat & drink
The Tea Shop and fireplace lounge serve daily afternoon pastries, regional Savoyard breakfast spreads, and evening fireside cocktails.
The neighborhood
Set in central Courchevel 1850 directly opposite The Forum, the pistes of La Croisette sit just a short stroll away.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
