By December 2025, the French Alps will have a new jewel in their crown — Maya Hotel Courchevel 1850, an intimate and exquisitely crafted hideaway that blends refined Japanese minimalism with the lavish spirit of Monaco.
Perched with ski-in, ski-out access in Courchevel’s most prestigious enclave, the new luxury retreat promises a rare kind of mountain elegance — subtle, sophisticated, and entirely serene.
At just 14 rooms and suites, including the sumptuous Lalique Suite and even grander Lalique Apartment, Maya Hotel Courchevel 1850 is anything but your standard alpine lodge.
This boutique retreat has been designed not to impress with size, but with soul. “Every detail has been meticulously curated to exude warmth and exclusivity, whilst wrapping the guest in a sense of ethereal beauty,” the team explains.
Drawing from a well of aesthetic duality — Monaco’s opulence and Japan’s restraint — the hotel presents a vision of alpine luxury that is both contemporary and deeply rooted.
Guests will encounter handpicked materials like wood, stone, bronze, and metal, crafting a palette that feels as grounded as it is elevated. This design ethos courses through every corner of the property, from private suites to shared lounges.
Maya Hotel Courchevel 1850 has also partnered with the iconic French crystal house Maison Lalique to adorn the hotel with one-of-a-kind works of art.
“Lalique iconic pieces and exclusive masterpieces will also be showcased throughout the hotel’s common areas, rooms, suites, the Lalique Master Suite and the Lalique Apartment, bringing a distinctive and refined style to the space.” The centrepiece? A 39-anemone chandelier — gold-lustred, weightless, and endlessly shifting — floating in the hotel’s entrance like a mountain mirage.
And then there’s the matter of wellness — not tacked on, but woven in. Maya Well, the hotel’s exclusive spa concept, features a bespoke menu developed with Japanese beauty brand Forlle’d. In-room treatment options are available in both the Lalique Master Suite and the Lalique Apartment, ensuring privacy is never compromised for pampering.
For those who believe that a luxury hotel is only as good as its food, Maya Hotel Courchevel 1850 delivers in spades. MayaBay Courchevel, the on-site restaurant, borrows its culinary DNA from its internationally acclaimed siblings in Monaco, Dubai, and Porto Montenegro.
The menu is a high-wire act of Thaï-Japanese fusion: delicate sushi and sashimi, aromatic Thai curries, all presented with a flourish that’s as much theatre as it is cuisine. A mixology bar adds flair with a curated cocktail program crafted for fireside evenings and post-ski wind-downs.
“Maya Hotel provides a boutique experience, where attention to the smallest detail transforms every stay into an unforgettable experience,” the release reads — and it’s not just hyperbole.
With seamless access to Courchevel’s legendary pistes, the hotel has been purpose-built for privacy and tranquillity. And for those who prefer their alpine getaways entirely uninterrupted, the hotel can be privatised in full.
Maya Hotel Courchevel 1850 isn’t trying to change the mountains — it’s simply raising the standard for what mountain luxury can look like.
Understated yet unforgettable, it’s where Japanese purity meets European elegance and where the idea of escape is redefined for those who’ve seen it all.
