Book the Le Coucou Meribel with VIP Benefits

Nestled in the heart of the French Alps, Le Coucou Méribel is a five-star hotel that redefines luxury in a mountain setting. With its privileged location perched on the heights of Belvédère, the hotel offers an unparalleled ski-in/ski-out experience, breathtaking panoramic views, and an atmosphere that seamlessly blends alpine tradition with modern sophistication. This unique establishment is part of the Maisons Pariente collection, a group renowned for its dedication to refined hospitality, creating places that feel both exclusive and intimate.

A Perfect Hideaway in Méribel

Méribel, a jewel of the 3 Valleys, the world's largest ski domain, is a destination that attracts winter sports enthusiasts and lovers of alpine charm alike. This prestigious resort, known for its elegance and history, was once the favorite retreat of renowned architect Charlotte Perriand. She played a key role in shaping the aesthetic of the region alongside Peter Lindsey in the 1930s, giving Méribel its signature architectural identity.

Le Coucou, named after the charming and mischievous bird, is designed to fit seamlessly into this spectacular setting. With 55 rooms, including 39 suites, as well as two luxurious private chalets, the hotel offers a perfect balance between comfort, privacy, and grandeur. Every space has been carefully curated to create an intimate yet sophisticated atmosphere, where natural materials such as wood and stone complement modern design elements.

Architecture and Design: A Contemporary Alpine Masterpiece

The architectural vision behind Le Coucou Méribel is the work of Pierre Yovanovitch, a master of blending contemporary aesthetics with traditional craftsmanship. The hotel's exterior maintains the classic alpine chalet appearance, harmonizing with the mountainside. However, once inside, guests are met with an awe-inspiring play of contrasts. The interiors boast vast cathedral-like spaces juxtaposed with cozy, intimate corners, exuding warmth and elegance.

Yovanovitch's design philosophy incorporates a careful selection of materials and custom-designed furniture. Throughout the hotel, guests will find playful, unexpected details such as bird-shaped feet on table legs, vintage ski pole accents, and bespoke glass fixtures resembling melting ice. These subtle yet artistic touches pay homage to the hotel's namesake, the cuckoo bird, infusing the space with a sense of charm and whimsy.

Unrivaled Skiing and Outdoor Experiences

Le Coucou Méribel is perfectly positioned for ski lovers, offering direct ski-in/ski-out access to some of the finest slopes in the 3 Valleys. The hotel's ski room is a sanctuary for winter sports enthusiasts, designed as a boutique lounge with a private changing area and a cozy café corner. Guests receive a seamless five-star ski service, with personalized equipment set-up and warm après-ski treats waiting upon return. This attention to detail ensures that every moment spent on and off the slopes is effortless and enjoyable.

For those who prefer a slower pace, Méribel offers a range of outdoor activities beyond skiing. Snowshoeing, tobogganing, and scenic mountain walks allow visitors to fully immerse themselves in the breathtaking natural surroundings. During the warmer months, the region transforms into a haven for hikers, mountain bikers, and nature lovers, making Le Coucou a year-round destination for alpine adventures.

Gastronomy: A Celebration of Fine Dining

Le Coucou's culinary offerings are as exceptional as its setting. The hotel is home to two exquisite restaurants that cater to diverse palates while embracing the rich flavors of the region.

BeefBar, a concept created by Riccardo Giraudi, is a paradise for meat lovers, offering an unparalleled selection of the finest cuts sourced from around the world. Whether enjoyed indoors or on the expansive terrace overlooking the valley, the restaurant's dishes are a perfect complement to an exhilarating day on the slopes.

For those seeking a refined yet relaxed dining experience, Biancaneve offers a new concept of bistronomic French cuisine. Under the direction of Laurent Branover and executed by Chef Romain Guyot, the menu showcases comforting yet sophisticated dishes such as roasted Camembert with Périgord truffle, turbot with seaweed butter, and hare royal. Adding to the ambiance, evenings at Biancaneve are accompanied by live piano music, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

A Sanctuary of Well-Being: The Tata Harper Spa

No luxury retreat would be complete without a world-class spa, and Le Coucou delivers with an exclusive wellness sanctuary featuring products and treatments by Tata Harper, a pioneer in organic skincare. The spa boasts six treatment rooms, including a double suite, where guests can indulge in rejuvenating therapies designed to refresh the body and mind.

Beyond spa treatments, the wellness area includes a fully equipped fitness center, sauna, steam room, and a hair salon. One of the spa's most remarkable features is its pair of pools—one indoor and one outdoor—separated only by a glass wall, creating a stunning visual illusion that blends the two spaces into one. With an altitude advantage providing crisp, pure air, this wellness retreat is the perfect place to relax and recharge after an active day in the mountains.

Family-Friendly Luxury: Kids Club & Teens Lab

Le Coucou Méribel is a destination designed for all ages. The hotel's Kids Club and Teens Lab, designed by Petit VIP, offer a world of adventure and creativity for younger guests. The Kids Club, created by Sophie Jacquemin, is a magical space filled with imaginative elements such as a climbing wall, colorful hideaways, and fun monster characters. Daily activities, from arts and crafts to storytelling sessions, keep children engaged and entertained throughout their stay.

For older children and teenagers, the Teens Lab provides a space designed around their interests. With ping-pong tables, foosball, and creative workshops, this area is a perfect retreat for socializing and unwinding after a day on the slopes. Karaoke nights and cooking classes add to the excitement, ensuring a memorable vacation for the entire family.

Private Chalets: The Ultimate Alpine Experience

For guests seeking an even more exclusive experience, Le Coucou offers two private chalets that provide all the benefits of a five-star hotel within a secluded, personal setting. These spacious retreats, connected to the main hotel via an indoor corridor, feature four bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy lounge area, a private spa, and even a ski-in/ski-out ski room.

Each chalet embodies the same design principles as the hotel, with interiors curated by Pierre Yovanovitch. Whether relaxing by the fireplace, soaking in the private pool, or enjoying a gourmet meal prepared in-house, these chalets offer an unparalleled level of comfort and privacy, making them the ideal choice for families and groups seeking an intimate alpine escape.
