What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
They’ve clearly poured their souls into the design, which blends rustic carved wood and stonework with high-concept art and clever lighting.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Dorfstrasse's bustling ski bars surround the property, and the Silvrettabahn gondola is only steps away.
The rooms
Exposed timber joists and traditional wood mouldings shape the bedrooms. Large windows keep the alpine spaces filled with natural light.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool steams over village rooftops and ski slopes, and an indoor swimming pool sits beneath slate pillars.
The spa and gym
Timber saunas and steam baths spread across three subterranean levels, and the fitness room is fitted with Technogym machines.
At the table
Timber-lined dining rooms and fireside tables serve regional Tyrolean dishes, using ingredients sourced from the family farm.
How it began
The Zangerl brothers began construction in 1930, and the house sheltered young refugees for a decade before a 1966 rebuild.
