What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
In the village of Schruns, framed by the Montafon peaks, Löwen Hotel stands out for its clean lines, long wooden slats, and alpine design with a clear point of view.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in central Schruns, the property puts valley trails, regional shops, and Montafon ski cable cars within easy reach.
The rooms
Bedrooms use local timber and stone, and deep-soaking tubs look out directly toward the Montafon peaks.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
An indoor pool looks out at the mountains, and a heated outdoor pool stays open year-round on the lawn.
The sauna and gym
A timber Finnish sauna sits beside quiet lounges with water beds, and the fitness room faces the garden.
At the table
Nightly six-course menus fill the dining room, followed by regional beers, cocktails, and schnapps at the bar.
How it began

Industrial giant Liebherr acquired the hotel in 1982, adding it to a family-owned hospitality portfolio that began in 1950s Ireland.
