History
Originally opened as Le Savoy in 1956 when Courchevel was an alpine pasture for hikers; reimagined as Aman Le Mélézin in 1992 by Ed Tuttle, blending alpine elegance with Asian serenity on the Bellecôte piste. The four-storey chateau-style building was expanded in 2017 with two new spa levels added beneath the structure. It underwent a full refurbishment in 2016, renovating rooms, suites, restaurant, and terraces.
The setting
Aman Le Mélézin sits directly on the Bellecôte piste at 310 Rue de Bellecôte in Courchevel 1850 — the highest and most exclusive of the resort's villages at 1,747 metres in the Savoie Alps. The Bellecôte green run delivers ski-in, ski-out access from the hotel terrace straight into the Trois Vallées' 600 kilometres of pistes, while La Croisette's bars and boutiques lie eight minutes away by shuttle. The celebrated Courchevel altiport, one of the world's most dramatic high-altitude airstrips, is just minutes by car for private arrivals. Surrounded by snow-dusted larch forest and a dense cluster of landmark luxury properties, the address balances genuine alpine seclusion with effortless access to the mountain. 19 km from Méribel Ski Resort.
