"In the well-to-do ski commune of Courchevel, at the mountain resort of the same name, travelers will find Hotel Le Coucou Méribel, a high-altitude haven ideal for those who want to indulge in all the finer things in life. Here, guests can check into one of the hotel’s 55 rooms and suites, each decked out with ski lodge-appropriate mid-century modern furnishings by Pierre Yovanovitch that give off just the right amount of ‘70s ski bum vibes. It’s cozy but sophisticated in all the right ways, with Le Labo bath products, fur throws, and views of the mountains that look more like a painting than reality. Its common spaces offer all the same elevated touches — from the Tata Harper spa to indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a sauna, and a jacuzzi, along with perhaps the best non-food feature of all: a ski concierge. The hotel has a dedicated space for skiers and riders to go to each morning, where a staff member is patiently waiting to assist with gear and has prepped skis or snowboards just outside so you can simply strap in and go. And yes, plenty of hot cocoa, croissants, and coffee await." - Stacey Leasca
