Hotel Coutettaz – a truly 5 star experience in MORZINE

Genuine warmth and personal attention

Kindness and consideration come naturally at Hotel Coutettaz, creating a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere to make guests feel truly cared for. The team is attentive and intuitive, always looking for ways to make a stay special, while conversations are thoughtful and engaging, reflecting a genuine desire to connect.

Service goes beyond expectation. Ski passes are handed straight to you, saving the hassle of queues at the ski office, while skis are carefully loaded into minibuses each morning and unloaded at the end of the day, so you can step straight into the warmth of the hotel after a day on the slopes. Minibuses are stocked with bottled water, and drivers are always on hand to transport guests around the resort. For those who arrive by car, vehicles are cleared of snow and de-iced before departure. It is this combination of professionalism and heartfelt attention that leaves a lasting impression long after checkout.

Thoughtful touches
Luxury often lies in the small touches, and Hotel Coutettaz excels in the details. The dining room is softly illuminated by candles and lamps, creating a welcoming ambiance for evening meals. Little surprises for guests celebrating special occasions — from birthday cakes to a complimentary bottle of champagne — appear effortlessly, without fanfare. Our bartender takes the time to remember and prepare your favourite tipple, while pre-warmed ski boots start the day on a good note.

Deep local knowledge and connections
Our inside knowledge of Morzine allows us to create truly memorable experiences. Whether it’s finding the ideal ski instructor for your needs, a romantic lunch spot with a stunning view, or something completely unique, our trusted local connections mean you’ll experience the resort at its best. From sunset snowshoe adventures and expert off-piste guiding to visiting local cheese farms, we specialise in authentic experiences you won’t find on the well-trodden path.

An owner-run hotel with heart
Privately owned by Dorrien Ricardo, who has lived in Morzine year-round for over 30 years, and managed by James, who has been at the hotel for 17 years; our hotel benefits from continuity and personal attention that larger establishments rarely offer.

Heritage and authenticity
The allure of Hotel Coutettaz lies in its incomparable setting and timeless atmosphere. This beautifully restored historic property blends Alpine heritage with refined contemporary comforts, creating an intimate and welcoming sanctuary. Unwind in the private bar beside a crackling open fire, savour dinners around a magnificent shared table in the cosy dining room, or relax in the sitting room, where a piano, well-stocked book shelves and board game selection invite more relaxation. Our boutique hotel rooms include a former carpenter’s workshop, a traditional mazot (mountain hut) in the garden, the manor’s original kitchen and even the town’s former jail. All now wonderfully reimagined as luxurious retreats where original artefacts sit in harmony with sumptuous fabrics, roll-top bathtubs, and elegant country-style beds. Ask Dorrien or James for a tour of the house and gardens and you’ll uncover all sorts of fascinating details from the property’s 250-year heritage.
