Hotel Le K2 Palace

Swish down Courchevel’s powdery slopes straight into the swank Hotel Le K2 Palace. Located close to the center of this legendary resort, the hotel comprises its own tiny little hamlet along the Cospillot piste, with 30 Tibetan-influenced rooms in the main building and six suite-chalets. Light alpine woods and bronze pieces give the interiors a sepia-toned effect, made all the more dramatic by red velvet accents. Epicurean pleasures include two Michelin-starred restaurants: Le Kintessence and dessert-only Le Sarkara; the Goji Spa features a striking circular pool and herbal tearoom. Le K’baret nightclub does double duty as a cinema.
