What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
injecting a bit of dramatic, dark-toned contemporary cool, while retaining just enough classic Alpine kitsch to keep the place from losing touch with its personality.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

The rooms
Bedrooms keep their traditional timber cladding, feeling more like cozy chalets than stark modern showpieces.
The spa
Finnish and bio saunas warm guests after skiing. Nearby, a quiet relaxation room holds heated benches and wicker loungers.
Q! Bar
Bartenders shake cocktails behind the wooden counter, and guests drop in during the day for coffee and homemade cakes.

Guests gather in pine-paneled booths beneath antler chandeliers for morning buffets and four-course Tyrolean dinners.
How it began
