Le Grand Hôtel Courchevel 1850 — Hotel in Albertville

This is a great hotel in 1850, offering reasonable value and a homely feel in a resort known for its high prices. We felt that the hotel's strength is its restaurant. We stayed half-board, offering us a good selection for breakfast (plenty of fruit, bread, pastries, etc), as well as a fantastic dinner every night, with five or six courses on offer (including a fabulous cheese board and dessert "chariot") - although we rarely managed more than three as the portions are more than generous. The restaurant also has a fantastic view over the Courchevel valley through huge windows. The staff were very friendly yet professional, and we've stayed in five star hotels where we were treated less well. If we were to find one slightly weak point, it would be our room, which was perfectly adequate and clean, but perhaps a little small and furnished rather simply. It did, however, also offer a good view of the valley. For skiers, the hotel is great, being located only 3 minutes walk from the main ski lifts and the resort centre, and also offering ski-in/ski-out from all the pistes on the Loze side of the resort. There is a clean and tidy boot room with boot warmers, and plenty of ski storage space. You could pay more for one of the 4* hotels, which would give you more facilities (e.g. swimming pool in some), but if you want to spend your time predominantly skiing, with a great evening meal in a comfortable hotel, then this would be a...

We had the pleasure to stay in this hotel, most likely hotel from the 70 ies, with a cosmetic touch up. Being not French, bur Scandinavian, I wonder how you can run a hotel 2022 in the French alps and in the most prestigius resort with single glass window and direct electric heating radiators? Must be nightmare when the electric bill comes!! But it is ofcourse the guests who pays the bill. Think bit about environment as well!! Its is pure silly to run a hotel on electric direct heating with single glass windows. In most europeean countries it is not allowed at all. Not eaven in the 70 ies Russia this was allowed. The old original pine wood doors have been painted in tasteful green color to give a good ambience. However they totally forgot that there is no threashold between floor and doors, That makes corridors noisy and you can hear everything from each room. A lot to whish here. The restaurant serves excellent food, staff deserves more then 5 Stars. Very friendly and helpful in almost all situations. My recomendation is repaint the exteriors same as your neibourgh hotel in white! Change the wardrobes inside make sure you have a refrigerator at least in the suit 616, there, was non! Bathrooms, change the shower facets to a quality brand so you can take a normal shower without burning yourself. You don't even have a complementary water bottle, only first night!!! Good luck with your environmential thinking...

The hotel appears impressive on entering. Previously know as the magic circus hotel. Staff at reception were pleasant. ||We booked a connecting family room, one room did have a strange smell. We tried calling reception and housekeeping during our stay several times and the call was never picked up. ||Breakfast was ok, no vegan pastry/croissant options. ||||The shuttle service is awful. Not sure I can speak for the closer disney hotels but if you want to get back to the hotel after watching the night firework display good luck! We witnessed fist fights to get into a shuttle which would come only every 15 mins. If you try and call an Uber from the shuttle stand the drivers will cancel the job due to a scam operating. Uber drivers loiter around the bus stop trying to charge 50 euros Upward for an 8 min journey knowing full well that the uber app quotes only 15 euros. They have clearly agreed with their colleagues not to accept jobs so they can take advantage of desperate travellers who have young children and need to get back to the hotel without having to fight their way...
