Ski-in-ski-out hotel Le Coucou boasts interiors by Pierre Yovanovitch
Nature-themed artworks and bespoke furnishings feature throughout Le Coucou, a design-focused ski hotel completed by Pierre Yovanovitch.
Le Coucou is a 55-room hotel nestled amongst the snow-capped peaks of Meribel, a popular resort that forms part of Les Trois Vallées ? the largest ski area in the world.
The hotel's staggering mountainous surroundings became a "natural focal point" for Paris and New York-based designer Pierre Yovanovitch, who was tasked with developing the interiors of the property.
"It was my first time designing a hotel of this scale and grandeur, and it was such an exciting challenge," Yovanovitch told Dezeen.
"We designed the space to offer as many views of the stunning landscape as possible."
Guests access the mountainside hotel via a lobby lined with pine wood sourced from nearby forests.
The space is topped by a domed ceiling, across which is a nature-themed fresco by artist Matthieu Cosse that depicts owls soaring across mountain ridges and nesting amongst gnarled trees.
Locally sourced timber continues to feature heavily in the bedrooms, with warm, terracotta-coloured walls, polka-dot carpets and frosted-glass light fittings.
While the smaller rooms feature Yovanovitch's sheepskin-upholstered Bear chairs ? which boast cute, ear-like protrusions from the backrests ? larger suites have been completed with curved velvet sofas where guests can enjoy breakfast or drinks.
