Members on The Society
Verbatim notes from members of The Society after their stay in 1850.
What members write
Family of six · New Year 2025
Cheval Blanc · 9 nights
"Maxime found us the corner suite after the original room was downgraded by the hotel. Two private instructors for the boys arranged in 48 hours over Christmas. We have never had a smoother New Year — and we have done it in Aspen, St Moritz and Megève."
Couple · February half-term 2024
K2 Palace · 7 nights
"Le 1947 was sold out everywhere I asked. The Society got us in for both Wednesday and Friday, and held a backup at La Table de l'Ours. The chauffeur from Geneva was waiting with our boys' boards already racked."
Group of friends · Easter 2024
Private chalet · 6 couples
"We booked a 12-bedroom chalet in Bellecôte through them. The chef did a different menu every night for the week, the snowmobile night-ride to Cap Horn was the highlight, and our flight home moved twice — handled both times without us asking."
Russian family · January 2025
Les Airelles · 5 nights
«Никаких разговоров на ломаном английском. Анна вела всю поездку по-русски — от шале до вертолёта и инструктора для детей. После трёх сезонов в Куршевеле наконец нашли тех, кто понимает, что нам нужно.»
Returning members · Christmas 2024
Les Neiges · 10 nights
"We are now in our third season as Society members. The continuity is what matters — same editor, same drivers, same instructor for the kids. It feels like the resort has a memory of us, even when the hotel doesn't."
Solo traveller · March 2025
L'Apogée · 4 nights
"I expected a polished response. I got a real person who told me honestly which restaurants weren't worth the price that week and which off-piste guide to ask for. That kind of editorial honesty is rare."
Frequently asked
Can I see verified third-party reviews?
We do not publish on Trustpilot or TripAdvisor — both reward volume over depth and we work with too few members per season to be statistically meaningful. We are happy to put prospective members in touch with current members on request.
How do you handle complaints?
Member feedback goes to the editor-in-chief within 24 hours. We have credited members for booking errors on our side, and we have walked away from partner properties that repeatedly disappointed members.
