Chalet L'Essence

Prestigious Setting

Once the summer holiday home of Baroness Margaret Thatcher, Chalet L’Essence holds one of the most exclusive addresses in Courchevel. Offering direct access from both the piste and an underground garage, the chalet combines privacy with unmatched convenience. Nearly every window frames sweeping alpine vistas, while three terraces provide the perfect backdrop for every moment of the day—morning coffee in the sun, long alpine lunches, or après-ski champagne as skiers glide past.

Accommodation and Style

Spanning over 400m², Chalet L’Essence accommodates up to ten adults in refined comfort. The double primary suite, three elegant doubles, and a charming 10m² double room for children, staff, or a nanny provide versatile sleeping arrangements. A dedicated children’s space includes a large cabin-style bunk room for up to four, alongside a private drawing room for play and relaxation. For larger groups, the adjoining “Mini-Essence” apartment offers additional space for two guests.

Inside, the chalet blends chic modern interiors with authentic alpine character. A magnificent drawing room occupies an entire floor, complete with a statement fireplace, soaring ceilings, and a state-of-the-art kitchen. European artworks from 1890–1950 adorn the walls, while a mezzanine above provides a quiet retreat, library, or office space.

Living and Dining

The glass-enclosed designer kitchen is a natural gathering point, fully equipped for convivial dinners with friends and family. Whether enjoying breakfast with mountain views, long evenings by the dual-aspect fireplace, or intimate meals enhanced by the chalet’s modern music system, every detail has been curated to create an atmosphere of understated elegance.

Leisure and Relaxation

The chalet’s private spa is its true highlight: an indoor swimming pool with mood lighting sets the tone for indulgence, complemented by a Hammam, sauna, and massage treatment room. A Pilates, yoga, and workout space overlooking the pool invites wellness and balance after days on the slopes.

Evenings call for relaxation—whether sipping a fine wine on the terrace, sharing stories by the fire, or enjoying the chalet’s fully integrated entertainment system. With high-speed WiFi throughout, comfort and connectivity are assured.

Refined Alpine Living

Available year-round, Chalet L’Essence offers more than a luxurious retreat—it embodies alpine living at its most sophisticated. Whether in the snow-filled magic of winter or the serene beauty of summer, this exceptional chalet promises unforgettable escapes for families and friends alike.
