Le Melezin
Alpine chalet meets Japanese minimalism. Lots of warm wood panelling, neutral tones, geometric lattice screens, and an absence of fussiness that feels very deliberate. This is quiet luxury, not look-at-me luxury.
Ask for a room on the piste side — the south-facing balconies with direct Bellecôte views justify the premium
Why It Matters
One of only a handful of ski-in/ski-out properties in Courchevel 1850, with direct access to the 600km Les Trois Vallées ski area. The Aman brand brings its signature philosophy of maximum comfort with minimum noise to a ski resort context that usually rewards ostentation. Nama is one of the region's most talked-about restaurants.
Aman Le Mélézin sits right on the Bellecôte Piste in Courchevel 1850 — the highest and most expensive of the Courchevel villages, the one they call the 21st Arrondissement. It's a four-storey building with 28 rooms and suites, all wrapped in warm timber and stone, with the Aman brand's signature Japanese design sensibility running through everything from the tatami-influenced interiors to the Nama restaurant. You ski in from the piste, hand your gear to a ski butler, and walk straight into one of the most serene hotels in the Alps.
Where You'll Stay
10 room types available
Chambre Nord
The entry-level room at 29 sqm — small by any standard, even for a ski hotel. North-facing, so the mountain views are there but the direct piste action is not. The geometric wood panelling and Aman quality are all present. This is the room for those who want the Aman experience at the lowest entry price.
29 sqm
Chambre Ski Piste
Between 42 and 44 sqm with a south-facing balcony overlooking the Bellecôte piste. No hot tub, but otherwise the same wood-and-cream aesthetic as the rest of the hotel. Available as king or twin. This is the most popular room category — book early.
43 sqm
Chambre Ski Piste with Hot Tub
Between 42 and 44 sqm with piste views and its own terrace hot tub. Available in king or twin configuration. Terracotta-toned wooden wall panels, oval soaking tub inside, and a private balcony with the hot tub pointing straight at the slopes. Good value relative to the suites for what you get in terms of views.
43 sqmChambre Village
38 sqm with views of the ski slopes and village rather than direct piste frontage. The geometric lattice screen doors, quilted headboard and wood-panelled walls give it the same aesthetic as the rest of the hotel — just with a slightly different view angle and a slightly lower price point.
38 sqmFamily Apartment
Connects a spacious master bedroom with a smaller twin room, creating a two-bedroom layout for families. Separate bathroom for the junior room, alpine views through large windows, and the signature Aman timber-and-neutral palette throughout. Booking is by enquiry rather than direct online reservation.
Petite Chambre
The smallest room in the hotel at 22 sqm — genuinely compact, with wooden walls, a king or twin bed, and mountain views. Best suited as a solo traveller or second room in a multi-room booking. The Aman quality is all there; the space just isn't.
22 sqmSuite La Vanoise
A 75 sqm corner suite with a living room and fireplace. The corner position gives it dual-aspect views across the piste and mountains. Wood-panelled walls and large glazed doors that frame the Alpine landscape like a painting.
75 sqmSuite Le Mélézin
The flagship suite and the largest in the hotel at 93 sqm. Has a living room with a fireplace, two balconies, and views over both the Bellecôte piste and the village. Warm timber panelling throughout, with Aman's characteristic geometric lattice details and cream-toned furnishings. If you're going to splurge, this is the one.
93 sqmSuite Ski Piste
Same 61 sqm footprint as the Suite Ski Piste with Hot Tub, but without the outdoor hot tub — the south-facing balcony gives you direct panoramic views of the Bellecôte Piste. Four-poster bed, marble bath, wooden panelling throughout.
61 sqmSuite Ski Piste with Hot Tub
At 61 sqm, this south-facing suite comes with a private terrace hot tub looking straight out onto the Bellecôte piste. The four-poster bed, wooden vanity with dual basins, and marble soaking tub inside make it one of the more complete rooms in the hotel. The outdoor hot tub at dusk with the mountains glowing is exactly what you'd imagine.
