What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Its elaborate, multi-turreted façade gives off country mansion vibes, and its interiors live up to that promise — particularly the spa and wellness complex, with its 12 separate relaxation areas.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The property sits on a plateau above the Inn Valley, with the spa village of Bad Häring just down the hill.
The rooms
Natural wood walls and floors catch the mountain sun, with large windows looking out toward the Tyrolean peaks.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A 25-metre outdoor sports pool looks across the valley, and the heated indoor pool catches sunsets through arched windows.
The spa
Twelve treatment rooms host Ayurvedic therapies beside large picture windows, and massages use Austrian Pure Green Cosmetics.
The saunas and studio
Mosaic steam baths sit beside Finnish saunas, and the oak-floored meditation studio opens onto mountain terraces.
At the table
Breakfast buffets and multi-course dinners are served under timber beams, and the Panorama Bar pours drinks overlooking the valley.
How it began
Founder Peter Mayer acquired the hillside after geomancers deemed it an energetic power place, shaping its philosophy on Shaolin temple teachings.
