What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
All the bedrooms at this family-owned boutique hotel in the Zillertal Alps have balconies, so you can start each morning by breathing in that invigorating mountain air.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Penkenbahn and Ahornbahn cable cars sit a short walk away, with central Mayrhofen just down the road.

The rooms
Every bedroom opens onto a private balcony, finished in pale spruce and fragrant Swiss stone pine.
The pool and saunas
Bring a swimsuit.
Swimmers enter the heated outdoor pool from inside to face the Alps, and five thermal cabins include a bio sauna.
The spa
Plush platform daybeds furnish the timber-clad Green Spa lounge, set beside treatment rooms for massages and bodywork.
At the table
The dining room opens onto the garden terrace for multi-course dinners, and the lounge bar mixes cocktails by the fire.
How it began

The Huber family opened the original lodge in 1975, later demolishing it to rebuild from the ground up.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
