The guest will be able to appreciate the decor conceived by Nathalie Ryan, who signed it, and is easily noticeable, under her elegant touch. The style of the decor means to be welcoming and warm, dotted with stones, woodwork and silky fabrics. She began her collaboration with the Group in 2010, when she created the Dior Suite at the Hotel Barrière Le Majestic: 400 square meters of elegance and French art of living, in the finest materials and most precious materials. Other Hotels of the Barriere Group, such as “Le Normandy“ or the “Royal Deauville“, it is the same finesse that motivates the designer, Nathalie Ryan. She explains that she wanted to “respect and preserve the historical soul of the buildings with their codes, their characters, blowing a decoration of today, authentic“. The Hotel Barrière Les Neiges makes its promises, by showcasing a unique emotional experience, beyond the visit of just a building. "Nathalie Ryan interior designer redecorated the “Normandy“ in Deauville and gave it a nice revival for this historic hotel," says the owner and Chairman Dominique Desseigne. It's a dream coming true, as far as am concerned. I wanted a new prestigious location for skiing and relaxing in the middle of Courchevel mountains by the legendary group Barriere, explains the owner of Fouquet's and Majestic Cannes, Dominique Desseigne and adds that he could not reach that dream without his exceptional team, that he is thanking, form down to the top of the staff: “With all the work of the group I was not disappointed by this project, then the mix of the concept of the artworks using the noble materials, in the mountains, delivered the warmth and the idea of “‹“‹the luxury, since the entrance by the chimney.Therefore, I like the idea that we created a contemporary atmosphere and mountain stylish, in an eco-friendly approach, explains Nathalie Ryan.---------------------------- The mix of larches, comes in contrast with the dark ebony and light that gives a tonality, to the furniture level by keeping the leather on the drawers with a mix of crafts, which is why I use silks, cashmere furs and sheets Wool and linen, as referring to my origin of couture. The noble fabrics were used for expanding the lighting. The bathroom whose floor has been working with shale that shines anthracite color and beautiful marbles and showers technology.

The clientele form the Middle East usually, announce their arrival without knowing when they leave; so we are used to offer them this liberty of last minute choice and they have been always satisfied and happy as such. After the loss of my beautiful loss M Barriere, I made a program of renovation in 2017 and 20-18 completely new, the Palace“ is just a label, and French that does not mean anything internationally. Our big carriers can be a handicap for the seminars one makes 40% of miles if one makes the miles with the place at the same time it is dead. I pass the operating account in front of the ego and wait for the customers. What counts is product and service. "Speaking about the pricing compared to Courchevel: 42 rooms at the highest period, will be marketed starting from 1200 euros in half pension and up to 18 000 euros Penthouse is very chic we call it "Chalet", we positioned ourselves on the same competition as our ocmpeitior of the same level.“ continues Dominique Desseigne, he concludes then “ Im not keen in the terminology of "Palace“, because, actually, is does not really matter. It is not the term of Palace that will bring naturally excellency, nowadays, some are called Palaces and yet they do not bring the service of excellence that we praise for our demanding clientele at Barriers group. so I guess Palace appeals to me just a terminology." Indeed, the excellence service is highly more important to be dedicated to the guests than to offer them the label of staying in a Palace...the name of it whatsoever is not as prices as the service itself and the exclusive attention. Mr Desseigne is right and intuitively led by this good sense of strategy that pays off
