Le Mélézin

Le Mélézin originally opened in 1956 as Le Savoy. Courchevel in those days was something of a Wild West town with resorts all vying with one another to offer the new and exciting sport of skiing. When Le Savoy opened, Courchevel was just 10 years old. In the early 1990s, the resort was entirely remodeled to echo the look and feel of a medieval Savoy fortress. It opened as an manresort in 1992.

Inside, oak beams up to 200 years old now grace the classically patterned parquet flooring and lobby paneling. The main salon has an open fireplace, which enhances the après-ski ambience and there is a small, separate cocktail bar with stools as well as an intimate fumoir for smokers.

Le Mélézin’s 31 guest rooms and suites, with varying layouts, use red-cedar planks and mouldings. The floors are covered in linen carpeting, with walls finished either in cedar or in a light chenille fabric. Several rooms feature unobstructed views of the ski slopes and surrounding peaks and 23 come with balconies. All rooms have a large, separate dressing area and are equipped with IDD phone, CD player, television with DVD, refrigerator and a safety deposit box. The bathrooms are finished in rose-tinted granite and offer twin washbasins, a deep bathtub and a separate shower.
