What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
a ‘lifestyle hotel’ is one oriented as clearly as possible toward the outdoors.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Giggijoch gondola is a short walk away, with central Sölden's restaurants and ski shops right outside the door.
The rooms
Local larch millwork warms the bedrooms. Many open onto private balconies that look out toward the surrounding peaks.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Swimmers step into the 31°C rooftop pool indoors before swimming outside into the alpine air.
The spa
Glazed relaxation lounges look across forested ridges, beside private rooms for sports and wellness massages.
The saunas and gym
Cardio machines look through panoramic glass toward the peaks, beside an aroma steam bath and bio sauna.
Hotel Bar & Lounge
The light wood bar serves morning espresso and evening aperitifs against slate floors and chalkboard menus.
At the table
An open show kitchen prepares the morning buffet with fresh regional breads, homemade jams, and organic teas.
How it began
Karoline Pult opened a modest inn here in 1999 before her family rebuilt the property entirely in 2016.
