Generational Arlberg ski resort
The hotel runs on time-honored winter rituals, from ski-in lunches on the terrace to afternoon tea beside the piano.
What it’s good at
Notable
A five-level alpine spa with panoramic saunas beside an indoor carpeted tennis hall.
Notable
Three generations of Skardarasy family ownership guiding alpine winter traditions since 1955.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Directly on the snowbound pistes of Zürs am Arlberg, surrounded by high alpine peaks.
The rooms
Bedrooms look straight out across the Arlberg snowfields, and generous suites add dedicated sitting rooms.
Pool, sauna and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
The indoor pool and Finnish sauna look out onto the snow, and the fitness studio faces the same slopes.
The spa
Treatment beds and relaxation loungers face floor-to-ceiling glass looking straight out at the snowy slopes.
At the table
Timber-paneled dining stuben center on painted tiled stoves, and the carved hotel bar pours evening cocktails.
How it began
In the 1920s, Count Tattenbach equipped the lodge with private bathrooms and golden taps, then unheard of along the Arlberg.
