Chalet Depot

Chalet Depot in Méribel is a gigantic five-story luxury chalet of the highest quality with ski in/ski out access to the Hulotte piste. Across those five lift-linked floors you’ll find stunning accommodation for up to 12 guests in individually styled rooms, including two master suites, alongside superb spaces for relaxation, dining, socializing, wellness, and entertainment. From the outside, this classic, imposing Alpine structure could have been sitting on its beautiful perch for centuries. Inside the design is contemporary without being too in-your-face – it is stylish, timeless, and tasteful in the best French tradition.

An imposing front entrance (on the first floor down) leads one to a foyer (the boot room and cloakroom have their own entrance) looking down over the giant, open-plan living and dining room, where giant, muted-grey sofas are the perfect place to sit looking over the terrace to the mountain. A big wood-burning fireplace separates the dining area with its huge table and adjoining beautifully equipped kitchen.

Floor-to-ceiling windows make the most of the winter light and superb views from Chalet Depot’s wonderful position. The terrace is large enough to enjoy a sunrise or take pre-dinner drinks under the stars. If you want to spend some quiet time then a TV snug pipes in Sky satellite and Apple TV, while the adjoining library-cum-study is the perfect place to catch up on work or reading.

The sleeping accommodation is split between the lower two floors, all of it in individually styled, en-suite rooms with exquisitely chosen signature pieces of art and Bose sound systems. There are two master suites and four double/twin rooms. The color palette remains muted and relaxing in these contemporary rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms that glitter with marble finishes. Five of the rooms have direct terrace access.

The lower-ground floor is home to a fantastic wellness suite, with a full spa that includes a recessed Jacuzzi, sauna, massage room, and gym – with TV and music to keep you entertained while you keep in trim. This is a fantastic addition to the Meribel scene particularly if you’re travelling with family, friends, or work colleagues.
