How to Book Airelles: A Travel Advisor's Guide to the Collection
October 2026 · 8 min read
Airelles is one of the most distinctive luxury hotel collections in France, a small family of Maisons under Stéphane Courbit's ownership, each set in an extraordinary place and run with a maximalist, deeply French sense of generosity. Where many luxury groups pursue restraint, Airelles pursues enchantment: turrets and roaring fires at the foot of the Courchevel slopes, a private estate within the grounds of the Château de Versailles, a Palladian palace on the Giudecca canal in Venice. Booking Airelles through a preferred-partner travel advisor costs exactly the same as booking the hotel direct, with VIP recognition and benefits layered on at no additional cost. Here is how to book Airelles, Maison by Maison, and what you gain by booking through Pampered Pursuit.
What Makes Airelles Different
Airelles is not a chain, and it does not feel like one. Each Maison is a singular property restored to a theatrical standard, with lavish, layered interiors, a near-limitless approach to service, and dining that ranks among the best in its region, from Alain Ducasse at Versailles to the celebrated tables of Les Airelles in Courchevel. The collection spans the Alps, the Riviera, Provence, Venice and, from the winter of 2026, the Caribbean, as the group takes over the former Le Guanahani on St. Barth. What unites them is a sense of occasion: an Airelles stay is designed to feel like a once-in-a-lifetime experience, every time.
That ambition is exactly why the collection rewards booking through an advisor. These are properties where recognition matters, where the right suite, the right table, and the right small touches transform a stay, and where our preferred-partner relationship ensures you arrive as a known guest.
Why Book Airelles Through a Travel Advisor
A booking engine reserves a room. A preferred-partner advisory reserves a relationship with the Maison, at the same published rate, with recognition layered on: a room or suite upgrade when available, daily breakfast, a hotel or dining credit, priority for the restaurants and spa that fill up fast, and a single point of contact who knows the property and holds your preferences. There is no fee for any of it, and the benefits are real money and real access at no extra cost to you.
What You Receive, at No Extra Cost
Every Airelles Hotel, and How to Book It
There are nine Airelles Maisons across France and Italy, with the Caribbean joining the collection this winter. We book all of them. Tap any Maison to see its page, or start an inquiry and we will arrange it.
Les Airelles, Courchevel
The founding Maison and the beating heart of the collection, a ski-in, ski-out fairytale of turrets and fireplaces in Courchevel 1850, with lavish suites, a Valmont spa and celebrated dining. See our Courchevel booking guide.
Airelles Château de Versailles, Le Grand Contrôle
An 18th-century mansion within the grounds of the Château de Versailles, the only hotel inside the estate, with cuisine by Alain Ducasse and after-hours access to the palace. See our Versailles booking guide.
Airelles Val d'Isère
The collection's alpine palace in the heart of Val d'Isère, ski-in, ski-out, with the same turreted, lavishly pampering style in one of the great resorts of the Alps.
Airelles Palladio, Venice
The first Maison outside France, a 16th-century Palladian estate on Giudecca with gardens and a constellation of star-chef restaurants, a bold Venetian debut.
Airelles Château de la Messardière
A 19th-century château above Saint-Tropez with sweeping bay views, grand yet relaxed and sun-soaked, the Riviera flagship of the collection.
Airelles Pan Deï Palais
A discreet ochre palace in the heart of Saint-Tropez, built in 1835 as a gift to an Indian princess, an intimate village hideaway.
Airelles Gordes, La Bastide
A bastide perched on the cliff of the hilltop village of Gordes, with long views over the Luberon, the collection at its most serene and Provençal.
Château d'Estoublon
A historic wine and olive estate near Les Baux-de-Provence, a working domaine turned Airelles retreat in the heart of the Alpilles.
Villa Baulieu
A 17th-century château on a volcanic estate near Aix, an intimate, vineyard-wrapped Maison for a quiet Provençal escape.
Which Airelles Is Right for You
For a winter stay, Les Airelles Courchevel and Val d'Isère are the great ski Maisons. For a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, nothing compares to a night inside the grounds of Versailles. For a Riviera summer, the Saint-Tropez pair of La Messardière and Pan Deï Palais anchor the season, while Palladio brings the collection to Venice. And for a slower, vineyard-and-village escape, the Provence trio of Gordes, Château d'Estoublon and Villa Baulieu is unmatched. Our full guide to every Airelles hotel goes deeper on each.
