Chic, sporting and the ultimate in comfort. In Courchevel 1850, where the world of prestige and luxury is a norm, the Strato Hotel offers something else.
It certainly has the comfort and the elegance of a prestigious hotel! It has an atmosphere of a vast residence, like a contemporary family chalet, with large fire places, cosy chairs and constant reminders of a sporting past.
Laurent Boix-Vives’s family designed the Strato like a mountain refuge, “a comfortable life style, to enjoy the mountains in good company”.
HISTORY
The legendary «Strato» ski, imagined by Laurent Boix-Vives in 1965, at the time head of Rossignol, accompanied generations of skiers throughout the world thrilling more than a million enthusiasts and giving over the years extraordinary sports results.
What better name could there be for a hotel combining a spirit of sport and luxury?
DECORATION
The decoration is a bold mixture of contemporary creations and antiques, or handmade creations made in workshops by craftsmen having immemorial savoir-faire. This eclectic mix of elegance, sport and absolute comfort is the work of two talented designers, Pierre Dubois and Aimé Cécil, who are better known for their designer label: “Les Héritiers”.
The ambiance is therefore above all elegantly understated: gouged wooden walls which remind us poetically of the surrounding nature, subdued lighting, alternating subtle colours: beige, blond, mocha, and grey, with more vibrant small splashes: violet, orange, silver setting the tone for this innovative hotel.
Le Strato is pleased to offer a range of room categories to suit every taste. Extremely bright, overlooking the valley, the rooms all have a balcony or a terrace.
