Fouquet’s Courchevel · Courchevel 1850
Formerly Hôtel Barrière Les Neiges, Fouquet’s Courchevel is the livelier, more social Palace in 1850, with direct Bellecôte ski access, a serious spa and an Alpine Club that works particularly well for families whose children ski during the day.
Airelles Courchevel · Courchevel 1850
If Cheval Blanc is Courchevel at its most polished and Aman is Courchevel at its quietest, Airelles is Courchevel in full winter-fantasy mode. Here is what families should know, which suites I would book and how it compares with the other great hotels in 1850.
Domaine de Manville · Les Baux-de-Provence
Thirty rooms plus nine hotel houses with three and four bedrooms, a kids club, three pools and an 18-hole course in the Alpilles.
Capelongue · Bonnieux, Provence
The Luberon without sleeping in its most famous village. Two pools, two restaurants, three-bedroom suites and Bonnieux a walk downhill.
Airelles Gordes, La Bastide · Gordes, Provence
A Palace hotel built into the hillside of Gordes, with panoramic Luberon views, beautiful pools, a Guerlain spa and one of the best children's programs at any luxury hotel in Provence.
Le Mas Candille · Mougins, French Riviera
A beautifully redesigned five-star hotel in Mougins with two pools, a Spa by Clarins and a peaceful setting just minutes from Cannes. Romantic enough for a honeymoon, relaxed enough for a family trip.
Château Saint-Martin and Spa · Vence, French Riviera
A hilltop Palace above Vence with beautiful gardens, a La Prairie spa and some of the best private family villas on the French Riviera. Come for the views. Book the villa because traveling with children is considerably nicer when everyone has a bedroom.
COMO Le Beauvallon · France
A restored Belle Époque grand hotel with a decidedly modern surprise inside: glass bathtubs, open showers, contemporary art and excellent two-bedroom family suites. Best of all, Saint-Tropez is an eight-minute boat ride away.
Royal-Riviera · Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, French Riviera
A relaxed Belle Époque hotel at the entrance to Cap-Ferrat with one of the few private sandy beaches on this coastline, a heated pool and Beaulieu-sur-Mer on foot.
Cheval Blanc St-Tropez · Saint-Tropez
An intimate beachfront Maison minutes from Saint-Tropez, with a private beach, three-Michelin-starred dining and some excellent but very specific room options.
Airelles Château de La Messardière · St. Tropez
A palatial hilltop retreat above Saint-Tropez with sweeping sea views, immaculate gardens, a private beach club and just enough old-world grandeur. It is glamorous without being exhausting and, rather unexpectedly, very good for families.
Rosewood Courchevel Le Jardin Alpin · France
Rosewood’s first alpine resort brings polished glamour to Courchevel 1850. Set in the exclusive Jardin Alpin, it pairs ski-in/ski-out access with an excellent Asaya Spa and the intimate feel of a private mountain manor.
Le Pavillon de la Reine · France
The ultimate insider address. A historic, ivy-draped sanctuary hidden behind a secret courtyard in the Place des Vosges. The charm of a country house in the absolute center of Paris.
Maybourne Riviera · France
Poised on a rocky peninsula above Monaco, The Maybourne Riviera offers striking modern architecture and unrivaled views of the Mediterranean coastline.
Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc · France
An icon of the French Riviera, Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc offers timeless elegance, private coastline access, and a romantic atmosphere for the discerning traveler.
Le Grand Mazarin · France
A vibrant fever dream in the heart of the Marais. Whimsical, flamboyant, and perfectly curated design meets a rare subterranean pool and world-class service.
Aman Le Mélézin · France
Ski-in/ski-out luxury on the Bellecôte slope. An intimate Alpine manor in Courchevel 1850 where Aman’s signature serenity meets the thrill of the Three Valleys.
