Courchevel has half the First Five Star Hotels in France
Published : 03-Aug-2009 06:09
Six of the first 11 hotels in France to be awarded Five Star status are in Courchevel.A recent change to French accommodation assessment has allowed hotels to claim 'five star' status in line with the maximum level in most countries around the world. Previously the highest grade a French hotel could achieve was 4 star deluxe.
The hotels now rated five star are the Amanresorts Mélézin, Annapurna, Les Airelles, Cheval Blanc, Kilimandjaro and the Lana.
Courchevel joins four other ski resorts worldwide that claim to have at least five, five star hotels. Swiss resorts Crans Montana and St Moritz as well as Seefeld in Austria claiming five each. The twin villages of Lech-Zurs, also in Austria, claims to have seven – the most in the world.
However more Courchevel hotels have applied for five star status and are currently in the assessment process, so the resort could ultimately have the most highly starred hotels in the world itself.
