K2, Palace hotel in Courchevel, France.
Le K2 Palace is a hotel in Courchevel opened in December 2011, with 29 rooms and suites, six three-bedroom suite-chalets and six private chalets. Rooms measure 50 to 105 m², suite-chalets 280 to 300 m² and chalets 500 to 600 m². Its decoration evokes Nepal, and it holds the French palace distinction.
Le K2 opened in December 2011, created by Philippe Capezzone and Jean Moueix, heir to the Petrus wine estate, and by the team behind Courchevel's five-star Kilimandjaro hotel. Its decor pays homage to the Himalayas with Nepalese-inspired interiors. It gained the French palace distinction in July 2014 and joined The Leading Hotels of the World in 2017. The former Kilimandjaro became Le K2 Altitude, and a four-star Le K2 Djola opened in the resort centre.
The interior blends Himalayan design elements with French alpine construction techniques, using traditional wood and stone materials throughout the property. Guests encounter this mix in every space, from common areas to the rooms.
Le K2 Palace stands at Courchevel 1850, with the Goji Spa by Nescens covering 550 m² over two levels, plus a night club/cinema, a children's area and a Ski Shop of more than 150 m². Three restaurants are on site: Le Sarkara, Le Bottleneck for grilled dishes and fondues, and L'Altiplano 2.0 for Peruvian cooking. Book the spa and dining ahead, as the hotel has only 29 rooms and suites.
