Tournier is a French success story with luxury hotels, restaurants and discotheques in Courchevel, Saint-Tropez, Chambéry and Bali.
Its founder, Joseph Claret-Tournier, would certainly be proud of the group’s philosophy which advocates environmental responsibility and respect for the client as well as affordable luxury.
Each of the Tournier group’s facilities has that little extra something that makes it even more special.
The Saint Joseph, the very first Tournier hotel, exudes the spirit of a family home.
Called Hotel Tournier in the 1950s, it was transformed by Eric Tournier a decade ago.
Located at the centre of Courchevel 1850, this traditional and elegant hotel provides a new alpine experience.
It has preserved the very finest materials of bygone days while offering a refined and comfortable setting for today’s guests.
Jump on the free ski shuttle for a day on the slopes before returning to Le Saint Joseph for a drink at the bar/lounge and comforts including a spa tub and a full-service spa.
The 5-star Saint Joseph hotel offers 10 guestrooms, 4 suites and 2 apartments (the Saint Amour and the Saint Nicolas). The old and the new stand harmoniously side by side, giving each apartment the warm and cosy charm of a family home - with that extra special touch.
Each of the Saint Joseph’s 11 guestrooms and 3 suites reflects the past and they all have in common a refined choice of furnishings.
A harmonious blend of colours and high-tech amenities that stand side by side with materials of bygone days.
The guestroom with walls lined with a Toile de Jouy print, contrasting prettily with the beamed ceiling, deserves particular praise, as do those featuring a delightfully retro four-poster bed.
A 320 m² duplex apartment, the Saint Amour contains a sitting room, dining room, fully-equipped kitchen and four bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. The finest of natural and traditional materials combined with high-tech facilities make this a sought-after choice for lovers of refined living.
The little extras that make all the difference: sauna, private Jacuzzi and ski room with boot dryer.
This wonderfully spacious 320 m² duplex apartment features a magnificent indoor staircase. Decorated in authentic Alpine style (with great emphasis on wood) the Saint Nicolas nonetheless displays a resolutely modern character.
The decor is personalised in each of the four bedrooms and the bathrooms are delightfully retro.
For gourmets and lovers of fine dining the Saint Joseph offers two very different styles of cuisine in its two restaurants. Whether seated at the bar or settled in one of the comfortable sofas, every moment will be unforgettable.
The bar and lounge areas are highly popular apres-ski venues. When the slopes close the great and the good of Courchevel and elsewhere meet up here to enjoy afternoon tea or a drink.
The Grand Café, with its decor reminiscent of 1930s Shanghai, is the Saint Joseph Hotel’s ethnic restaurant. The kitchen is run by Monsieur Koy, who skilfully produces authentic Indochinese flavours.
The menu includes gilt-head sea bream, coconut and ginger cooked in a banana leaf, tiger tears, and chocolate rolls with spicy caramel.

In addition to the Grand Café the Saint Joseph has a second restaurant, the San Marco. The maestro of this authentic Italian restaurant is chef Cecilia Veccia. With great talent she produces the very best cuisine from across the Alps.
Such as burrata, risotto served in a Parmesan wheel and flamed in cognac, pasta in a Parmesan wheel and garganelli with cep mushrooms.

At the Saint Joseph spa everything is designed for total relaxation and revitalisation. Guests can enjoy SkinCeuticals face and body treatments, dispensed by professionally-trained beauty therapists.
The SkinCeuticals philosophy is based on three complementary principles: to prevent signs of premature aging, to correct visible signs of age (in particular through the use of pure and highly concentrated active ingredients).
And to protect healthy skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation through the daily use of sunscreen.
Spa guests will have the opportunity of discovering facial treatment protocols (intensive, detoxifying, unifying radiance, soothing, perfecting, and supreme anti-aging restructuring treatments).
Body treatments include double-peel activator, restorative resurfacing and rejuvenating firming treatment, the three anti-aging protocols developed by SkinCeuticals.
A steam bath rounds off the facilities offered by this temple of relaxation and wellness.
