What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
features sleek, minimalist rooms warmed up by natural materials and cozy touches like wool blankets, rocking chairs, and luxurious soaking tubs.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set along Dorfstraße in central Sölden, the hotel provides swift village access to Ötztal valley ski runs and lifts.
The rooms
Rocking chairs and deep soaking tubs sit beside warm wool throws sourced from the owners' sheep farm.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The rooftop indoor pool looks straight onto snowy peaks, and the outdoor pool is heated to 33°C year-round.
The spa
Treatments draw on herbs grown in the garden, and the Finnish sauna is lined with tiered pine benches.
At the table
Black Sheep serves five-course tasting menus beneath sculpted sheep heads, and breakfast is laid out in a timber hall.
How it began
Daniel Craig stayed in the top-floor Summit Suite while filming the James Bond movie Spectre across the valley.
