What CGH Residences & Spas does

CGH Résidences & Spas (legal name Compagnie de Gestion Hôtelière) is a privately held French mountain hospitality company operating premium furnished apartment residences and luxury chalets across French Alpine ski resorts. The company runs 34-35 four and five-star properties spanning 19 destinations and 21 summer destinations across Savoie, Haute-Savoie, Isère, and Hautes-Alpes, with presence in major ski domains including Les 3 Vallées, Paradiski, Tignes-Val d'Isère, Les Portes du Soleil, and Les Sybelles. Its portfolio includes the flagship 5-star White Pearl Lodge & Spa at La Plagne and the recently launched White Pearl Lodge & Spa 2, alongside a Résidence Boutique line and standalone luxury chalets under the Chalets de Cœur sub-brand. The company is organized as a SAS with registered capital of €3,376,500, headquartered in Annecy-le-Vieux, and operates four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Ô des Cimes (spa services, 28 facilities), Chalets de Cœur (chalet rentals), CGH Développement (real estate development), and CGH Immobilier (property investment).

The underlying technology consists of a digital booking platform with multi-language support (French, English, Dutch), a customer data management system for reservations and ancillary services (spa bookings, ski equipment rentals, lift passes), an online reservation engine, and a digital guest welcome booklet. Revenue is generated primarily through nightly and weekly accommodation rentals, with nightly residence rates ranging from €48 to €256+ and weekly chalet rentals from €1,922 to €31,800+, supplemented by spa services, premium add-on services (concierge, transfers, housekeeping), and the CGH Immobilier property ownership program. The company operates a direct-to-consumer go-to-market model with bookings via cgh-residences.com and phone, supported by email marketing, seasonal promotional campaigns, referral programs, and inspirational travel content. Customer segments are primarily families seeking mountain vacations, followed by couples, large groups, and sports enthusiasts.
